Hi,
I have found that google keeps indexing component links to carts/wishlists. I don't think it's a good idea to have potential customers clicking on these links to get to the website only to be greeted with virtually a blank page and a messege saying either "You must be logged in to use wishlists" or "Product successfully added to the cart".

Please refer to the hidden URL and attachment.

Is there a way to stop this other than robots.txt please?

Hi,

We just added code on our end based on your request, in the file "administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/cart.php", function "getJS()", replace:

Code:

						echo '<div style="display:none;">'.
							'<a rel="{handler: \'iframe\',size: {x: '.$popupWidth.', y: '.$popupHeight.'}}"  id="hikashop_notice_box_trigger_link" href="'.hikashop_completeLink('checkout&task=notice&cart_type=cart'.$url_itemid,true).'"></a>'.
							'<a rel="{handler: \'iframe\',size: {x: '.$popupWidth.', y: '.$popupHeight.'}}" id="hikashop_notice_wishlist_box_trigger_link" href="'.hikashop_completeLink('checkout&task=notice&cart_type=wishlist'.$url_itemid,true).'"></a>'.
							'</div>';

By:

Code:

						echo '<div style="display:none;">'.
							'<a rel="{handler: \'iframe\',size: {x: '.$popupWidth.', y: '.$popupHeight.'}} nofollow"  id="hikashop_notice_box_trigger_link" href="'.hikashop_completeLink('checkout&task=notice&cart_type=cart'.$url_itemid,true).'"></a>'.
							'<a rel="{handler: \'iframe\',size: {x: '.$popupWidth.', y: '.$popupHeight.'}} nofollow" id="hikashop_notice_wishlist_box_trigger_link" href="'.hikashop_completeLink('checkout&task=notice&cart_type=wishlist'.$url_itemid,true).'"></a>'.
							'</div>';

Thanks for looking at this. I replaced what looked like the code on cart.php using dreamweaver although I could not find the exact text. So I guess I will wait and see what happens with google?

Ahh, I forgot to include "Ignore whitespace". So will this stop google indexing these links or does it do something else?

Yes, it will stop google indexing these links, nothing else.
