system > /system/sitemap > closed modules listed ~> 401 + cannot deactivate

Open Marc-pi opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

NB : i make use of voltan's sitemap module ~~ this one only is declared to GWT & BWT

We have 2 core sitemaps : in system / in page

System module /system/sitemap

  • first i don't know how google makes to discover this url (never submitted in GWT), but it finds it !!
    • cache files & navigation?
    • there is no module config for it

=> please add a setting so we can deactivate the controller

  • second it displays uls to closed modules (permission restricted) => generates bad 401 error, that crawlers hate
  • we need to fix it so it takes into account the module permission

=> i vote to remove this feature from system module => use sitemap module instead, and make sitemap module being in the standard package as service module

Page module We have also 2 sitemaps in Page module (i've deactivated them)

  • /page/xml-sitemap/
    • like those from sitemap module and system modul
    • i guess for demo purpose? it's good practice to delete them in case you use sitemap module
  • /page/sitemap/ => to dress a plan of your site !!
    • to keep, but it displays the system/sitemap
    • @voltan you could put it in sitemap module, as front index. it is a good practice to show to crawlers a global plan of your site for SEO purpose (push deep links to front)

@taiwen , thanks, better do you know if there was a link to this page from any template? how google found it? would be great to fix the source template also

@taiwen , the fix is a redirection, and the crawlers hate these (penalty). need to more global fix and this url must be have a 404 http referer code (not 301, no redirection) => opens the 404 template page
