PhpDig.net - robots.txt

- - robots.txt (http://www.phpdig.net/forum/showthread.php?t=269)

With the following robots.txt, no indexing, I always get: links found: 0, ... Was recently indexed:

User-agent: phpdig
Disallow:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

After removing this robots.txt, all goes fine.

My intention was to allow PhpDig to index, but tell the others to go away. Did I get the syntax wrong?

I think it's impossible.

Look at here ::

Anonymus.

I've taken this example from the quoted source, fr. Anonymus. In my opinion it shows that it should be possible (sorry for the lost alignment):

# /robots.txt for http://www.fict.org/
# comments to webmaster@fict.org

User-agent: unhipbot
Disallow: /

User-agent: webcrawler
User-agent: excite
Disallow:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /org/plans.html
Allow: /org/
Allow: /serv
Allow: /~mak
Disallow: /

The following matrix shows which robots are allowed to access URLs:

Hi. I haven't tested the below code, but it should get around the following case:

In robot_functions.php find the phpdigReadRobotsTxt function and in this function find:

PHP Code:


		
			
            if (eregi('[[:blank:]]*disallow:[[:blank:]]*(/([a-z0-9_/*+%.-]*))',$line,$regs))

                {

                if ($regs[1] == '/')

                     $exclude[$user_agent]['@ALL@'] = 1;

                else

                     {

                     $exclude[$user_agent][str_replace('*','.*',str_replace('+','\\+',str_replace('.','\\.',$regs[2])))] = 1;

                     }

                }

and replace with the following:

PHP Code:


		
			
            if (eregi('[[:blank:]]*disallow:[[:blank:]]*(/([a-z0-9_/*+%.-]*))',$line,$regs))

                {

                if ($regs[1] == '/')

                     $exclude[$user_agent]['@ALL@'] = 1;

                else

                     {

                     $exclude[$user_agent][str_replace('*','.*',str_replace('+','\\+',str_replace('.','\\.',$regs[2])))] = 1;

                     }

                }

            elseif (($user_agent == 'phpdig') && (eregi('[[:blank:]]*disallow:[[:blank:]]*',$line,$regs)))

                {

                $exclude['@NONE@'] = 1;

                return $exclude;

                }

Remember to remove any "word" wrapping in the above code.
