Hello @DawPi; I hope you've been well. I'm having problems trying to make this plugin work. This is what I get:

 

SELECT * FROM `forums_topics`  LEFT JOIN `dp4disableindexing_settings` ON dp4disableindexing_settings.dp4dit_id=forums_topics.tid WHERE `tid`='190493'
IPS\Db\Exception: Table 'domain_ipboard.dp4disableindexing_settings' doesn't exist (1146)

Hello,

which version are you using? It looks that it missing table, which should be added during upgrade to at least 2.0.1:

/**
 * 2.0.1 Upgrade Code
 */
class ips_plugins_setup_upg_20001
{
	/**
	 * ...
	 *
	 * @return	array	If returns TRUE, upgrader will proceed to next step. If it returns any other value, it will set this as the value of the 'extra' GET parameter and rerun this step (useful for loops)
	 */
	public function step1()
	{
    	/* Do we have table? */
        if( ! \IPS\DB::i()->checkForTable( 'dp4disableindexing_settings' ) )
    	{
        	/* No? Add it!  */            
        	\IPS\Db::i()->createTable( array(
    			'name'		=> 'dp4disableindexing_settings',

 

Or maybe you tried install it?

 

I'm checking it anyway.

[DawPi]

OK, confirmed. Working on the update. Hold on.

[DawPi]

@PPlanet, it has been fixed. Download the new version and try to install it.

Sorry for this.

Great. Thank you very much; all good now. 👍

[PPlanet]

@DawPi sorry to bother you again so soon.

 

When I look at the page source code. I see:

 

<meta name="robots" content="noarchive">

 

Which is correct as I don't allow Google to cache my pages, but is that mutually exclusive with "noindex"? Shouldn't I have both there? Because I enabled the plugin in one topic and that's all I see.

[DawPi]

Did you enabled the noindex setting when editing a topic?

My mod adding this only:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

I don't know from where there is a "noarchive" tag unfortunatelly.

[PPlanet]

The "noarchive" tag comes from Search Engine Optimization > Meta Tags in the ACP. I have set up that for the whole forum, so basically I have https://domain.com/*

 

So, I'm not surprised about that, as that should be there. But I was expecting to see the "noindex" in addition to that in the meta name tag of the particular topic I edited. And yes, I toggled the switch on in this topic I mean.

 

So, my question is if what I done site-wide with the "noarchive" tag is what is causing the absence of the "noindex" tag in the edited topic?

 

[PPlanet]

Actually yes, that's the reason (I've deleted the "noarchive" tag in the ACP as a test and then put it back again). If I have a tag for robots in Search Engine Optimization > Meta Tags in the ACP, the "noindex" tag is not added.

 

I thought one could have the two of them for as long as they were not conflicting with each other.

[DawPi]

And it should work like this. 
Did you enabled it for this particular topic in your board?

Could you send me your topic URL on the PM to look into it directly?

Sent. Thanks.

[DawPi]

OK, I know what you mean, you wanted to adjust my mod if there will be "noarchive" robots tag with this:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, noarchive">

Right?

[DawPi]

So if you enabled it for a whole board:

 

Why you just can't adjust it by this:

[DawPi]

Unfortunatelly the build in SEO part is "firing" after all plugins so I can't adjust it in this plugin.

[PPlanet]

The thing is that I need "noarchive" for the whole site, but "noindex" just for a few topics.

That's fine. I think Google is not serving cached copies any longer as of very recently. I just need to see if there are any other sites there that still do, as I don't want people to cheat the paywall. (That's why I use "noarchive"). So, I may be able to eliminate the "noarchive" tag. Cheers!

I'll check what I can do with this, but no promises unfortunatelly.
