Sitemap Generator Forum

Hi

I have just started using the sitemap but am getting 15 broken links listed all with an & at the end
directory/&
otherdirectory/&

and I can't find the links on the referring page

Also I have a forum with nearly 70,000 posts, I've currently set the sitemap to ignore forum/ because in the past sitemaps have tried listing hundreds of thousands of pages (like each and every way to view each post) I'm using invision power board, does anyone know a way of setting the sitemap up to crawl the forum without listing every possible way to view a page?

Thanks
Nick

Hello,

1. please PM me your generator URL so that I can check it.

2. you can use "Do not parse" and "Excclude URLs" options for that. For instance you can add this to both settings:
sort=and that will exclude all pages that have "sort=" parameter attached.

Hi admin

Sorry for the delay in replying

I think the & problem is down to my email being encoded, it looks like

<a href="&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;&#58;%6E%69%63%6B%40%74%68%65%6D%6F%64%65%6C%73%63%6C%75%62%2E%63%6F%2E%75%6B&#63;&#83;&#117;&#98;&#106;&#101;&#99;&#116;&#61;Contact%20from%20TheModelsClub.Net">Nick</a>
Thanks for the tip about the forum, I'll try that

Yes, that's right - it is related to an encoded mail link.

It seems odd that it only picks up the 15 broken links as it is at the bottom of every page on the main site
