Meta tags

[fanta]

Hello,

what is the best way to add meta keywords and description to hesk?

I duplicated the title php code to new meta tags i added to header.inc.php, but now title, description and keywords are all the same. is there a better way to do this?

Thanks.

You would have to create a variable for the header file and declare that variable in each and every function that prints out HTML code - I'm afraid not something I can help with.

For what it's worth - modern search engines don't use meta tags for rankings.

Thanks Klemen for your reply, I think there should be an easier way with already declared variables, but im not sure about how to achieve that.

If meta tags are "not used by search engines" is there a way to block Google from indexing items in my Hesk that are not intended to be public (eg, knowledgebase)? I have added Disallow=/ to the robots.txt.

Sure, Google (and all other legit search engines) obey the robots.txt file.

I added Disallow: / - Is that correct? No more "noindex, nofollow"?

User-agent: *
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /attachments/
Disallow: /inc/
Disallow: /language/
Disallow: /change_status.php
Disallow: /download_attachment.php
Disallow: /print.php
Disallow: /rate.php
Disallow: /submit_ticket.php
Disallow: /suggest_articles.php
Disallow: /suggest_email.php
Disallow: /ticket.php
Disallow: /

That should do it.
