mark007 Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 By the way ... Google says: Indexed and not in sitemap transmitted

But what about these links? topic/*?do=findComment* topic/*tab=comments* *?page=1$ *?page=0$ *?view=getnextunread* *?do=getNewComment *?do=getLastComment *?do=reportComment* In robots.txt I set now the disallow directive. Does it make sense? And should not IPS set a redirect to ?page=1 and ?page=0 to the topic ending with / ... ? Because Google tells me, that there are 3 different URL's with the same content (duplicate content).

Just because i block some links, which google tried to get, but get error or get content-less page. This errors may worse indexing of correct links. May be not, who knows Would you post your robots.txt?

It was explained already. A third-party app is used to block the profile pages, independent from the IPS core settings.

Just for try and check. You can improve it by yourself (and share it with us, please): /applications/core/extensions/core/Sitemap/Content.php line 209: after $data line add that: if (get_class($node) === 'IPS\forums\Forum' && isset($node->last_post)) { $data['lastmod'] = $node->last_post; } and line 259 (line 262 after add previous) add after $data line that: if (get_class($item) === 'IPS\forums\Topic' && isset($item->last_post)) { $data['lastmod'] = $item->last_post; } After that the sitemap script should re-generate all sub-sitemaps for write new data to db. And I haven't done changing correct lastmod in index sitemap, depended on newer date inside sub-sitemap. Thanks. How did you changed this? My content.php from line 209: $data = array( 'url' => $node->url() ); $priority = intval( isset( $settings["sitemap_{$nodeClass::$nodeTitle}_priority"] ) ? $settings["sitemap_{$nodeClass::$nodeTitle}_priority"] : self::RECOMMENDED_NODE_PRIORIY ); if ( $priority !== -1 ) { $data['priority'] = $priority; $entries[] = $data; } } } } So i need to add: if (get_class($node) === 'IPS\forums\Forum' && isset($node->last_post)) { $data['lastmod'] = $node->last_post; } Like this? 209: $data = array( 'url' => $node->url() ); 209: $data = if (get_class($node) === 'IPS\forums\Forum' && isset($node->last_post)) { $data['lastmod'] = $node->last_post; }
mark007 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 No, you have to add the code after the line: After: $data = array( 'url' => $node->url() ); if (get_class($node) === 'IPS\forums\Forum' && isset($node->last_post)) { $data['lastmod'] = $node->last_post; } Numbered 1

Would have been nice if they just worked this in to 4.2.8.

sadams101 Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I did implement all mods and am seeing positive results since I did it. At a low point I had 111,000 indexed, which really makes no sense at all given that I have nearly 1M posts, well over 100K topics, and an article site also that has 5K articles. As you can see it is going up fast now, and is up to 187,000. Since there are built in canonical links, I would not block anything in the robots.txt file: Duken, sudo, CSSlife and 1 other 3 1

Duken Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) Will the sitemap generation be changed in 4.3? If it is, ill wait for the update. - Google was / is removing links from the index on my site to. Reactions on (older) forum topics are taking forever to be indexed. Edited April 15, 2018 by Duken added index
sadams101 Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) POST EDITED: I removed my rant...I looked at the incorrect link and posted that the pagination was not included in the canonical links, but I was incorrect, it is included... PS - There is an issue with the mycustomsiteupdater.php file here that causes too many resources to be used, so I would not use it. The mod that seems to have done the trick is the <lastmod> date that was added early in this thread. Edited April 17, 2018 by sadams101 Incorrect info.
Dll Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, sadams101 said: I disagree with the canonical link solving this issue. In fact, the canonical link is simply wrong here. IT SHOULD SAY ?page=1, 2, etc., because the unique information on all of those unique pages that are being indexed is being sent to the wrong place. <snip> Errm, not sure what you're looking at there, as it's all set correctly. As per your original example, if there was a link to page 0 or page 1, they have a canonical of: <link rel="canonical" href="https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/442742-large-community-you-have-a-problems-with-sitemap/" /> Which makes sense, since those are all essentially the first page of the thread, so don't require (and shouldn't have) the pagination in the url for seo purposes. So all good so far. But for page 2, the canonical is: <link rel="canonical" href="https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/442742-large-community-you-have-a-problems-with-sitemap/?page=2" /> Page 3 has a canonical to ?page=3, and so on. On top of that, Invision also have the tags to let google know it's a paginated thread, which again is good seo, as google then knows to link the pages together as one set, and it may also show the page links in search. For instance on page 2, the tags are: <link rel="first" href="https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/442742-large-community-you-have-a-problems-with-sitemap/" /> <link rel="prev" href="https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/442742-large-community-you-have-a-problems-with-sitemap/" /> <link rel="next" href="https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/442742-large-community-you-have-a-problems-with-sitemap/?page=3" /> <link rel="last" href="https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/442742-large-community-you-have-a-problems-with-sitemap/?page=8" /> So no need to rant, and no need to get someone to fix it for you, as it's already been done ?

sadams101 Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) I edited my first reply...I do see the pagination on the later category pages, so my bad! I must have been looking at the wrong link in view page...sorry! Is anyone else using the sitemap cronjob at the start of this thread? It creates some memory issues, even though I have 130Gigs. Edited April 17, 2018 by sadams101
ProSkill Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Anyone have updates to report after moving to 4.3? I noticed that the number of links in my sitemap is now significantly smaller. I am not sure why that is, I ran the sitemap rebuild function. It's too early to notice any ranking changes.
Fast Lane! Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Scary. This is why I generally wait a few point releases to upgrade. Sounds like many bugs are abound on 4.3 which isn't surprising for a large update.
sadams101 Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 I know this was pointed out already, but links like this are not in the site map: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/102448-what-brand-of-pasta-do-you-all-buy/?page=2 and google is throwing warnings about this in their "Indexed, not submitted in sitemap" area. Is there a reason these are not in the sitemap? Is all the content in the sitemap anyway, so including the pagination doesn't matter? PS - I am not yet on 4.3...is this why I can't find the settings mentioned that allow the profiles to be searchable/indexable by google? sobrenome 1

Google is able to index the rest of the pages (as you see there).

I didn't see one. I updated one of my sites to 4.3 and do not see timestamps for forum topics, assuming it just needs to be rebuilt after upgrade.
