Re: I do not have #! when I use 'Route place token url' (crawler related question)

[Christopher Viel]

#/! is useless. Web Crawlers require #! to recognize a crawlable hash. Every other hash not starting with ! is not crawlable. This is not our decision, but rather how Web Crawlers work at this time. The change I made allows you to use !/ at the start of your token.

If you use Push State (ie https://github.com/jbarop/gwt-pushstate/) to remove the hash from your URL, then you don't need to use the hashbang since you already have distinguishable / crawlable URLs.

Hello,

I have seen https://github.com/ArcBees/GWTP/issues/233 and https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/gwt-platform/9it1GueM3t8....Well, I have tried Route Place Token Url and my url looks like :

http://www.mananaseguro.com/#/!Agenda-Eventos-Culturales-Bolivia

I am not sure, but I have understood that I necessarly need a hasbang (#!) to have my app crawlable...but here I have not a hashbang (/#/!). I cannot control theses URL parameters (because with Route Place Token, the token must starts with /) so my questions is:

- Does GWTP's 'Route Place Token' are crawlable ?

- If yes, so : Is it ok for the crawler to have my URL such as ".../#/!..." ?

Thanks you,

Isn't it possible to use https://github.com/jbarop/gwt-pushstate/ this library uses the HTML5 push state Api. 

This means that your url would be like: http://www.mananaseguro.com/Agenda-Eventos-Culturales-Bolivia

Can I use the GWTP Crawler with the RouteTokens and GWT-pushstate?

I suppose it is possible the problem is that you have to decide on the request if it comes from a crawler or from a browser.

This could be done http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8404775/how-to-identify-web-crawler

What do you think? Does anyone use this solution?
