Installation

unzip master.zip as folder site/plugins/kirby3-robots-txt or
git submodule add https://github.com/bnomei/kirby3-robots-txt.git site/plugins/kirby3-robots-txt or
composer require bnomei/kirby3-robots-txt

Staging Server? Debug Mode = Disallow all

When you set the global Kirby debug config to true the plugin will disallow all indexing for all user-agents. This is especially useful on a staging server but you could consider xml-sitemap and rss-feed among other things as well.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ THIS MEANS IF YOU HAVE KIRBY'S DEBUG MODE ENABLED IN PRODUCTION ALL SEARCH ENGINES WILL BE BLOCKED FROM INDEXING YOUR SITE!

Adding Sitemap Link to Robots.txt

This plugin will add the sitemap link automatically to the robots.txt file for most available SEO plugins. You can skip setting the bnomei.robots-txt.sitemap config value to sitemap.xml in that case.

Setup

The plugin generates automatic defaults for the starterkit. You do not have to enter them in the config file. But if you would it would look like this.

defaults for starterkit

<?php
return [
    'bnomei.robots-txt.content' => null, // string or callback
    'bnomei.robots-txt.sitemap' => null, // null (aka. AUTOMATIC) or string or callback
    'bnomei.robots-txt.groups' => [ // array or callback
        '*' => [ // user-agent
            'disallow' => [
                '/kirby/',
                '/site/',
                '/cdn-cgi/',
            ],
            'allow' => [
                '/media/',
            ]
        ]
    ]
];

using a plain string

<?php
return [
    'bnomei.robots-txt.content' => 'user-agent: *
disallow: /kirby/
disallow: /site/
disallow: /cdn-cgi/
allow: /media/',
];

using a callback

<?php
return [
    'bnomei.robots-txt.content' => function() {
        return site()->myRobotsTxtContentField()->value();
    },
];

sitemap and multiple user-agents

<?php
return [
    'bnomei.robots-txt.sitemap' => 'sitemap.xml',
    'bnomei.robots-txt.groups' => [
        '*' => [
            'disallow' => [
                '/',
            ],
        ],
        'googlebot-images' => [
            'allow' => [
                '/media/',
            ]
        ]
    ]
];
