    • Selectivly hiding pages from search engines

    Posted by Rick Sapir / Tiki for Smarties posts: 3665 United States

    I need to "hide" some pages from being crawled by Google (for example, ../tiki-index.php?page=Foo). How can I include

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    < meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow,noarchive" >


    in specific wiki pages? I thought of simply having a plain text file with the necessary META information, then using an {INCLUDE} statement. But how can I move the META to the HEAD tag?

    The following inserted into ./templates/header.tpl should work:

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    {if $page eq 'foo'}
   < meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow,noarchive" >
{/if}

    Yes, that will work, but then I'd have to add a new {if} statement in the HEADER.TPL for every page to hide — that's a lot of work! Each time a user adds or removes a wiki page, I'd have to change the HEADER.

    It will be much easier to control this at the wiki page level — not a global template.

    How can I specify where in a file the called {INCLUDE} should appear?
