A nice future would be able to restrict the mapper to a directory, for example: only map pages that have www.site.com/thisdir/ in the url.

At the moment you can prevent it from moving out of a directory by unchecking the "Follow Upward Links" button in the Options window. So if you start mapping from http://www.site.com/thisdir/ only pages like these are visited: http://www.site.com/thisdir/ http://www.site.com/thisdir/page.htm http://www.site.com/thisdir/subdir/page.htm etc Does this give you what you want?

I have a similar question

We have a site built with a CMS and would like to do mapping based upon the server directory path rather than the resolved URL Path.

For example:
http://www.site.com/br/

we have a site with two streams, one for an english language /en and one for brazil (portugese) /br

So if was to put the parent path within PowerMapper

I would of hoped for the root to be www.site.com/br/ and to have two child elements http://www.site.com/br/br/index.htm
http://www.site.com/br/en/index.htm

but instead it starts off with the /br/br/index.htm as the root and the br/en/index.htm is a child of this page.

Is there a way in which the /br/ could branch the way we want?

Thanks.

Looks like the server may be doing some redirects - I'm guessing a request for www.site.com/br/ redirects to http://www.site.com/br/br/index.htm.

I think we'd need to see this in action to figure out the best resolution (if you don't want to post your URL, you can PM me)

If it's just the a couple of pages that are in the wrong place you can drag and drop in the navigation tree on the left side of the PowerMapper screen.

Hope this helps
Pam
