Allow to use a different set of meta tags for the pager pages

Bumping this important patch. Apparently, yaph is really on to something big here. Ted Serbinski who makes the blueprint theme even took yaph suggestions and committed it there, as I found out by visiting this post.

Submitting Drupal 5 patch to go along with the Drupal 6 patch.

Committed to CVS (D6).
Committed to CVS (D5).

Thanks!

Here is a discussion (http://drupal.ru/node/25027) of this new feature on russian language and many of people want's to turn this feature off. So can you, please, do a checkbox at settings page which will be ON by default.
Thanks

Well, people are glad to do what they want, but I can attest to this cleaning up my report at google's webmaster tools *considerably*. I can't fathom why anyone would want to go against that, but then again I can't read Russian. ;-)

This is right behaviour to set "noindex" but all who wan't to have a posibility to turn this feature off have paid links at those pages. So if this pages could not be indexed they will lose the money.
All who have paid links at their sites will use a hacks to remove this "noindex" (you can see a code at one of comments which will turn off "noindex"). Do you understand?

So, I'm asking for a checkbox for this. This checkbox will be turned ON by default but if this needed it can be turned OFF. Thanks.

I see - a bit of an edge case, but that makes a lot sense. I'm not the maintainer, but I'm sure they'd be open to a patch.

Google is still indexing despite of

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />
patch above.

Changing it to:
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX,FOLLOW">

may hopefully stop indexing of the ?page=x urls.

Mentioned here:
http://www.robotstxt.org/meta.html

At present I have 1500 pages in google with ?page=x urls.

The suggested change has been implemented in the development snapshot, and probably is also present in version 6.x-1.0.
As Drupal CVS works, the code for 6.x-1.0-rc1 cannot be changed; it is useless to re-open a report for version 6.x-1.0-rc1, as the code for that version cannot be changed.

The content of the meta tag description is used whenever you write NOINDEX, or noindex; the meta tag content is not case sensitive.

Oh, I mistakenly added it for a wrong version for nodewords

I'm using nodewords 5.x-1.13

I'm also using Meta tags node type 5.x-1.4

Drupal 5 branch is not supported anymore; such feature is not going to be implemented.

I don't think this is a good idea unless it's off by default. I generally don't want to noindex my pagination.

IMHO, a better idea is to fix the module to make the titles and descriptions different, not noindex them.

Hello,
Has this feature been removed?

I am not seeing noindex on pager pages.

Rather than limiting the feature to only a meta tag, I would prefer to make the feature more generic.
There is already a setting page for the front page meta tags, for the error 403 (and 404) pages, and for the tracker page; adding a setting page for the pager pages would not be difficult.

The code has been changed, and committed in CVS.

Hi KiamLaLuno,

Is it possible to describe a little the changes implemented?

Thanks.

Hi Kiam,

The pager setting page seems to be missing from the latest dev version.

Are you sure you downloaded the correct archive? I see the settings page, as it is visible in the attached screenshot.

Thanks Kiam :) I can see it now.

As mentioned above, preventing the other pages from being indexed sounds like massive overkill to me; I want the content indexed, not because they're paid links, but because it's (potentially) important content on my site.

A more useful suggestion would be for the pager to amend the title of the page instead.
