What software is generating this Site Map? It shouldn't be showing those del_review links unless you're on administrator

What version of RavenNuke(tm) are you using? Also, you do need to restore the RavenNuke(tm) footer, copyrights, etc.

Reading the sitemap page, from the link you provided, it appears you need to make absolutely certain yuou're logged out:

Quote:

* The SITEMAP GENERATOR respects sessions! If you are logged into your site and have delete privileges, the sitemap generator will follow all links, including 'delete links', so play it safe and make sure you are NOT logged into your website!

So log out of admin and user and refresh and go back to admin and refresj just to be certain you're really logged out.

Hi there thanks for your reply. I have done this 6 times now and made sure i was logged out of everything. Just like it said. I even tried on my dads laptop and the same problem it deletes my reviews section

Regarding the copyright, go into Admin>Preferences, and go down to the footer section, the 3rd section should contain this:

Code:

So now i fixed the copyright which i didnt know about and am sorry for . Can anyone help me with my problem ?????

Spot on.

It shows something about an Exclude Filter, you could try adding something like */modules/reviews/* that should exclude everything from the reviews module to be safe.

Also you might try deleting your cookies if its still accessing those files it shouldnt be, unless theres something Im missing? Do you give it a password of its own to access certain directories?

Sorry that should be proper format, or it might skip it, so it should be:

*/modules/Reviews/*

Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2009 3:47 pm

Yeah you can use the exclude filter for certain folders but i want my reviews to be in my sitemap so goolge pick straight up on it. I have tried the cookies with no avail . Like i said i have tried on different computers . It always deletes my reviews .

I dont see what the cookies have to do with it anyway as i am generating a sitemap on different computers and they are deleting content off my site .

Cheers for taking time aswell horrorcode . It means a lot to find someone helpful on the internet

Also if i do generate the sitemap without the reviews theres always a chance of someone deleting them if they read this post and decide to be stupid as i have told everyone my problem so someone could test it out if you know what i mean..

Could you please also tell me , in which directory is the content i put in reviews as i cant find it anywhere ???

Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2009 4:02 pm

The cookies only matter if you have logged in previously on the comp youre running the sitemap on, it uses the session thats saved in the cookie, sometimes even if you logout. To be safe you should scan for new admins in Sentinel.

Reviews are saved in the database, so the sitemap is only accessing the link itself which is deleting them. If you go to phpmyadmin and browse nuke_reviews you wil see any you have added.

Either way that link should only be accessible to an admin, so its either a bug or you need to delete the cookies.

Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2009 4:07 pm

Cookies were deleted as stated and still getting same problems. Sentinel is deactivated on my site too. The sitemaps access the review and then delete them and i cannot understand why. As i said i have tried this on pc's where i have never accessed my site. So theorectically you could delete them .

Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2009 4:12 pm

Create a review for us so we can go to the link, because without one Im getting access denied when trying to delete, so it seems to be working properly so far.

Have you considered using NukeSEO?

Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2009 4:14 pm

there are no reviews on my site at the mo

i'll do one now

i made 2
bet you can delete them by creating a sitemap

Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2009 4:17 pm

OK I am going to do it now. I would be very surprised if it does and concerned.

Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2009 4:17 pm

access denied

If I cant delete it the sitemap shouldnt be able to?

Try to create a sitemap of my site using that url . I bet they delete and you'll be able to see the review code aswell of where it deletes.

I am logged out by the way
