Web crawl reveals unknown pages...

[stephenmeehanuk]

Hi

I did a web crawl (used Screaming Frog) and noticed 78 pages where surfaced that shouldn't exist.

I think what's happening is a custom route I created is somehow generating additional pages, that match (but shouldn't).

Here's the custom route

Route::statamic('/divisions/{segment_2}/contact', 'divisions/contact');

Here's an example of one of the pages that appears to be using the custom route. The page is using the 'divisions/contact' view

website.com/divisions/focusing-on-the-future/contact

focusing-on-the-future is actually a news entry, not sure why it's being used in divisions...

How would I go about fixing this? There's no errors in laravel.log and the page loads. It's just using a url that shouldn't be there?

divisions:collection has this route /divisions/{slug} and news:collection has this route /news/{slug}. Perhaps this is the issue?

I thought the route in the custom route /divisions/{segment_2}/contact would be enough to isolate divisions from news, but perhaps not?

If you're using Screaming Frog, can't you see where a certain link was discovered? The "Inlinks" feature, I think.

(I haven't used the software, I'm just looking at their website and video)

Cheers. Figured it out, an if was being triggered in the wrong part of the site. That was responsible for the unwanted path. Fixed!
