google indexing banners

[piotrburda]

TYPO3 7.6.32 and sf_banners 3.0.1
I realized that on my site, when i make site search google is indexing banners, example: site:www.sitename.pl tx_sfbanners_pi1, i have more than 1000 results look like: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj36b3TrIvsAhXxk4sKHRGjDmY45gEQFjAAegQIBxAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.narty.pl%2Fski-atlas%2Faustria%2Faustria-karnety-na-wiele-osrodkow%2Fsilvretta%2F%3FL%3D0%26type%3D10386%26tx_sfbanners_pi1%255Baction%255D%3DgetBanners%26tx_sfbanners_pi1%255Bcontroller%255D%3DBanner%26tx_sfbanners_pi1%255BcurrentPageUid%255D%3D10432%26tx_sfbanners_pi1%255Bhmac%255D%3D0e53ba807fe9a4d4f45db3257080adf508fff4e9%26tx_sfbanners_pi1%255BstartingPoint%255D%3D10386%26tx_sfbanners_pi1%255Bcategories%255D%3D2%26tx_sfbanners_pi1%255BdisplayMode%255D%3Drandom%26cHash%3De8a327933f9ebeeed56d8d053aac8e97&usg=AOvVaw093M4pOdhrBKoGIL5fSXW3

It seems that some search engines also do index local links they find in the page content.

I therefore added an additional HTTP header in 316e4b3, so search engines are instructed to not index the result of the getBanners action.

Since you`re using an old/unsupported version of the extension, the patch will not make it into version 3.x. You could either backport the patch to your local running version of the extension or consider to update to a supported version of TYPO3 / the extension.

Additionally you could add Disallow: /*tx_sfbanners_pi1 # no banners to your robots.txt file.

Thanks for quick response, upgrade will follow TYPO3 upgrade, now will try with robots.txt
