What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: search engines, noindex, meta

Write your message below:

I notice that the search engines are indexing my View IP, Reply and Delete admin pages as well as my entries. Is there a way to add a noindex command for these particular admin items without losing the indexing of my actual guestbook comments.

I wouldn't worry about that, but if you insist you could try modifying few files:

In templates/default/overall_header.php just below

Code: Select all

<head>

add

Code: Select all

<?php
if ( defined('NOINDEX') )
{
	echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />';
}
?>

Then in gbook.php find

Code: Select all

switch ($a)

and below that you will see several lines starting with case

Find pages you wish to hide from search engines (recognize them by "a=PAGENAME" in url after gbook.php, for example "a=delete") then add

Code: Select all

define('NOINDEX', true);

below the case line with the page name.

For example to hide the delete page, change

Code: Select all

        case 'delete':
        confirmDelete();
        break;

to

Code: Select all

        case 'delete':
		define('NOINDEX', true);
        confirmDelete();
        break;
