Solved Default by XF option missing or not obvious

[pavelandreev]

Hello, I`m trying to set a proper default option for threads, resources and media items, but I cant find the option at all:



Where is this Default by XF defined?
As it is right now, when its set to Default by XF, no actual meta tag for robots is added:



The tag is just missing from the HTML.
Can anyone help with this?

Basically xenforo does not define any. If it is by default there is no tag that defines it

Aha, understood.
So basically I need to edit the template where the robots tag is shown and set a default there?
If yes, which template should I edit?

Hello, you don't need to change the template. This option allows you to change the settings for Meta-Tag

I understand the option, however I need a way for the default not to be empty string.
So if no option chosen (Default by XF) I need it to be index,follow (the default)
As it stands now, the robots tag is shown like this: <meta name="robots" content="" />

This default meta tag is coming from somewhere, I`m assuming in a template somewhere, so my idea is to change the default to be: <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" /> instead of <meta name="robots" content="" />
Is there a way to do this?

I don't understand all
Can you give me a URL where the meta robot and like this : <meta name="robots" content="" />
You can modify the template modification: thread_view_xs_seo
And in the "replace" area you paste this:

<xf:if is="{$thread.xs_seo.meta_robots} == ''">
    <xf:if is="!$thread.isSearchEngineIndexable()">
        <xf:head option="metaNoindex">
            <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
        </xf:head>
    <xf:else />
        <xf:head option="metaNoindex">
            <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
        </xf:head>
    </xf:if>
<xf:else />
    <xf:head option="metaNoindex">
        <meta name="robots" content="{$thread.xs_seo.meta_robots}" />
    </xf:head>
</xf:if>

I`ve done the modification. Should I rebuild the addon or just leave it as is?

Can you give me a URL where the meta robot and like this : <meta name="robots" content="" />

Indeed there is a problem for resources and media, it should not have empty content

For the media, here is the template modification: xs_seo_xfmg_media_view_mt
In the "replace" field you paste this :

<xf:title>{{ change_title($mediaItem)|raw }}</xf:title>
<xf:if is="{$mediaItem.xs_seo.meta_robots} == ''">
    <xf:head option="metaNoindex">
        <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
    </xf:head>
<xf:else />
    <xf:head option="metaNoindex">
        <meta name="robots" content="{$mediaItem.xs_seo.meta_robots}" />
    </xf:head>
</xf:if>

For the resources here is the template modification to modify: xs_seo_resource_view_mt
In the "replace" field you paste this :

<xf:title>{{ change_title($resource)|raw }}</xf:title>
<xf:if is="{$resource.xs_seo.meta_robots} == ''">
    <xf:head option="metaNoindex">
        <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
    </xf:head>
<xf:else />
    <xf:head option="metaNoindex">
        <meta name="robots" content="{$resource.xs_seo.meta_robots}" />
    </xf:head>
</xf:if>

The changes fixed the issue, thank you!
Now both the resource and media items are showing proper default meta tags.
