Why show rep buttons to guest if they cant give rep?

[Owdy]

IMO, those buttons should be hided from guests. There is no reason to show buttons if you cant use them.

Manual fix: http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/344093-tip-hide-reputation-buttons-from-guests/

[bfarber]

We have a FFFV bug report about this. We want to do more than just hide from guests (i.e. hide the buttons if you don't have permission, or if you have already repped the post, etc.), but there are resource considerations to make, so the change hasn't been implemented yet.

I think it's good that it's there so then guests will see that reputation is enabled on your forum.

I agree with Owdy about this. And thanks for the update bfarber.

Guests will see reputation is enabled if you allow them to see who gave rep.

How can I prevent to disallow crowlers to try to vote?
I have 21.994 errors "not reachable" as follows:

http://www.discusclub.net/forum/index.php?app=core&module=global&section=reputation&do=add_rating&app_rate=forums&.......

I've tried with adding this string into the robots.txt:

Disallow: /*add_rating
and

Disallow: /index.php?app=core&module=global&section=reputation&do=add_rating&app_rate=forums&type

But it does't work.

Disallow: /*add_rating

and

But it does't work.

Try

Disallow: /*add_rating*

Not that I'm familiar with robots.txt syntax, but maybe it ignored your first example because add_rating wasn't the end of the URL

[bfarber]

Unless I'm mistaken (which happens...) those URL's will be blocked by IP.SEO 1.5.0 when it is released.

Thank you very much, I will try this.
I will not install IPSeo 1.5 until will be released a stable version, actually with 1.4 there are less issues.

Thank you very much, I will try this.

I hope it works for you. :)

[*Salvo*]

Yes. Actually there are about 22.000 scan errors. It's not a joke.

[*Salvo*]

IPSEO 1.5.0 didn't solve the problem, and it seems that the crowlers are able to see the link, even if the option is disabled and not visible for guests.

• IS there some optional tool or way to solve this? 23.500 errors actually.
• Where, by default, are included the bots (group), if they search and find those strings?
  

Thanks.

on this strain... Try
Disallow: /*reputation*
or
Disallow: /*index.php?app=core&module=global&section=reputation*
EG, add_rating may be too far along in the string....
and for that matter... why is google crawling $this->request['do']'s at ALL?
Disallow: /*do=*
any do= would cause a crawl error.. because google cant "do" anything.

Why not:

Disallow: /*index.php?app=core*

?

Wouldn't it still crawl the FURLs?

core doesnt have FURL's... maybe for that very reason.

Have you tried adding a / at end of line as if no / at end then believe robots will index

The Disallow: line without the trailing slash (/) tells all robots to index everything. If you have a line that looks like this:

Disallow: /private/

It tells the robot that it cannot index the contents of that /private/ directory.

Disallow: /*reputation*/
?

Disallow: /*reputation*/

?

The / would screw up the URL. If the reputation link doesn't end in a slash, it would be indexed.

The * works either way, regardless of whether it ends in a slash or not.
