Hidden categories are still indexed was created by gkhn

Hi there,

i have a category called hidden and I have set the robots option to no index, follow. I am not sure why this category is still indexed on Google.
Thank you.

Hello

this is a bug, the robots parameter is not used,
- next version (v2.1.3 final) will have this fixed

to apply a fix now, edit file
components/com_flexicontent//views/category/view.html.php
and after line:

Code:

$meta_params = new JRegistry($category->metadata);

add:

Code:

if ( $meta_params->get('robots') )
	$document->setMetadata('robots', $meta_params->get('robots'));
elseif ($menu && $menu_matches && ($_mp=$menu->params->get('robots')))
	$document->setMetadata('robots', $_mp);
