Use it only if you do not want indexed all yours images. In this case you may forget about images.google.com.

Disallow: catalog/admin/
Don't use it in any case!!!
1. How robots can find out about this directory? Do You have any links in main catalog to admin?
2. If you

Renaming the "admin" folder makes it much harder for would-be hackers to get into your admin area.

and then insert new admin name in robots.txt, thus you will tell by all hackers about a new name of admin area.

Disallow: catalog/docs/
1. How the robot can find out about this directory? Do You have any links in main catalog to docs?
2. Better way - delete this directory.

As I said in the post where I placed this info, this is if you want to block these files from being accessed and it is an example.

Blocking your images from appearing in Google Image search can be a very good thing so no one steals your images to use on their site.

Actually in this case, yes, my client does have a link to from their main site (at their request to make it easier for them) to get to the admin section, so this is needed in the robots.txt file.

Indexing and using is not the same things.
1. Disallow indexing does not forbid use.
2. You may disallow indexing only large images, but it's too does not forbid use.
3. You may use very easy hotlink protect.
4. You may hide real location of the large images by the php script, but you don't protect it for "Save image as...".
5. Use watermark to protect images (better and easy way).

Wow! Congratulations! You say "Welcome!" to hackers. No comments.

Even in this case it is not necessary to mention it in robots.txt. Robot can not indexing protected by the password admin.


Not for you.
For normal use, It is not necessary to tell to all world as yours refers to admin.

[quantum]

[a_berezin]

Better than your harmful advices?
I simply explain why it is impossible to do how you advise, because you harm to it.

Hi,

Sorry if this has been answered already, couldnt find it.

When I install the googlesitemap.sql file I get the following error..

SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Google XML Sitemap';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
insert into configuration_group (configuration_group_id, configuration_group_title, configuration_group_description, sort_order, visible) values ('', 'Google XML Sitemap', 'Google XML Sitemap Configuration', '1', '1');
SET @t1=last_insert_id();
UPDATE configuration_group SET sort_order = @t1 WHERE configuration_group_id = @t1;
insert into configuration values ('', 'Compress XML File', 'GOOGLE_SITEMAP_COMPRESS', 'false', 'Compress Google XML Sitemap file', @t1, 3, NULL, NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array('true', 'false'),');

If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Any ideas why? I am on v. 1.3.0.2 and have IH2 and Froogle Feeder Installed. I have also double checked that all the upload files are in the right place.

Cheers!

SET @t1=last_insert_id();
UPDATE configuration_group SET sort_order = @t1 WHERE configuration_group_id = @t1;

insert into configuration values (NULL, 'Compress XML File', 'GOOGLE_SITEMAP_COMPRESS', 'false', 'Compress Google XML Sitemap file', @t1, 3, NULL, NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'true\', \'false\'),');
