No_index

[Peter Krarup]

Is there a way to implement a no_index or no_follow in the Gallery?

Thanks for giving it a new life.

Kind regards

Peter

Are you talking about for web crawlers? This is normally done with robots.txt at the root of your domain. Here is an example of mine. I have gallery installed at https://host/gallery

The file https://host/robots.txt is

User-agent: *
Disallow: /gallery

Peter,

Sure, but why? That would just mean the gallery would not get as good placement in Search Engine results. We *want* people to find the gallery -- that was the whole point of creating it -- and keeping it registration/log-in free.

But as a matter of record, the sad truth is that search engine robots completely ignore the "no_index" and "no_follow" flags. I have proof:

A website of mine has had "no_index" and "no_follow" flags set on it since it very first day it went online in 1999. And yet, when you do a google search -- using only my site's name as the keyword -- you get all tons of results from deep inside the site. Take a look:

Thanks to JR and Jon for fast answers.

As I have to hide a part of my Gallery in relation to the GPDR I do not want it to be found in a search.

Is there a way to protect the part with password in the Gallery or have I to use htacsess?

Thanks for giving the Gallery new life.

Have a nice weekend

Peter

You can set permissions on albums so that users need to login to see those albums. This is built into gallery.

Peter,

Good question. I believe using some .htaccess coding would be the only sensible way to go (and you could easily modify the .htaccess later if you wanted to change the site's behavior at some point). I'm no expert at making .htaccess sit up and jump through hoops, but I know it can be done. Someone here may be able to offer some tips and if not I'm sure the web is full of tutorials on how to make .htaccess do just about anything. That one file ... actually a kind of robotic app just sitting there on the server actually scares a bait because of the massive potential it has to for good (or evil) -- so I always keep my own dead simple.

But I would be really interested in seeing the solution you come up with :)

Jon and Peter,

Yes, but that means you have to open up your gallery installation to having people use/lose/abuse log-in privileges which I personally will not do, even if it was limited to one album. Hackers know how to compromise the log-in function itself to gain all kinds of server-level access. Gallery has been upgraded in many ways recently but as far as I know it still uses the same log-in security protocols that were available 10 years ago... that's a long time in internet years... I wouldn't be willing to trust the health and safety of my Gallery installations to those old protocol in these perilous days.

But maybe I'm being paranoid and PHP 7.4 takes care of all that?
