[cms] Allow specifying "robots" meta for pages [5.3.0-B1]

[cms] Allow specifying "robots" meta for pages [5.3.0-B1]

On website there are pages of 2 conceptual types:

  • pages that makes sense for robots (e.g. Google) to index (show in search results)
  • pages, that doesn't make to index (e.g. "No Permissions", "Form Submitted Template")

For later page category it makes sense to add following into <head>:

<meta name="robots" content="nofollow, noindex, noarchive"/>

Solution

/themes/advanced/platform/elements/html_head.elm.tpl
<inp2:m_if check="st_PageInfo" type="meta_nofollownoindex">
	<meta name="robots" content="<inp2:st_PageInfo type='meta_nofollownoindex'/>"/>
</inp2:m_if>
/core/admin_templates/categories/categories_edit.tpl
<div id="scroll_container">
   <table class="edit-form">
	
	.....

	<inp2:m_RenderElement name="inp_edit_checkboxes" prefix="c" field="MetaNofollowNoindex"/>
 
	.....
 
	<!-- custom fields: begin -->
	<inp2:m_include t="incs/custom_blocks"/>
	<inp2:cf.general_PrintList render_as="cv_row_block" SourcePrefix="c" value_field="Value" per_page="-1" grid="Default" />
	<!-- custom fields: end -->

	<inp2:m_RenderElement name="inp_edit_filler"/>
