[No Dup] robots.txtPosted: Mon May 12, 2008 4:52 pm    Post subject: [No Dup] robots.txt

Hello,

first I have to say, that you do a really great job!

I've just installed the No Duplicate Mod.

Now I want to create a robots.txt file for my site and I don't want to make any mistakes, so what does this exacly mean?:

Quote:
The last post links on index and forum will still be transformed, and it will be of no harm SEO wise,
## as long as you properly disallow post urls in your robots.txt.


What do I have to write in my robots.txt file?
Could you post an example for this?

Thanks in advance! Smile

[No Dup] robots.txtPosted: Wed May 14, 2008 3:39 pm    Post subject: Re: [No Dup] robots.txt

The robots.txt is to be installed when you install the url rewriting mod, a sample on is provided in the contrib/ dir of all packages.

install wrote:
__________________
NOTE: robots.txt :
__________________

You will find a sample robots.txt file in the contrib/ folder of this package.
The robots.txt file must be uploaded in your domain's root folder (can be different from the phpBB one).
You must obviously replace phpbb/ with your real phpBB installation folder (or with nothing if it's installed in the domain's root).

IMPORTANT :
If your forum previously was indexed with the natural urls (viewtopic.php etc...), then you must make sure
that the robots.txt advised for our mod rewrite is not installed, if so delete it from the server.
This because we want to redirect old urls before we disallow them, it's crucial!
In such case, a month or two after you activated the zero duplicate, you can safely implement the robots.txt.


So, there is nothing special to do as far as robots.txt with the no duplicate mod, it should be taken care of before, and it of course includes disallow for post urls Wink
