Extension for editing Robots fields

Post by whitetigeritaly » Fri Sep 18, 2020 7:50 am

Is there an extension that displays the "Robots" field of all articles, categories and menu items?
There is an extension that displays meta keywords and meta descriptions fields in cpanel, but I can't find anything for the robots field.
I have to edit dozens of pages and today I am forced to open them all one at a time.
It would be handy to see them all listed together and change only what is necessary.

There is a set of fields for meta data per article, under the tab labeled Publishing. There is also a global meta setting in the Global Configuration.

This I already know.
I'm asking you to avoid opening 100 pages just to go and edit robots.

The simple method (relative to knowledge) to do bulk processing, is to write a MySql UPDATE query and run it within your hosting account database manager (usually PHPMyAdmin)

Example

Code: Select all

UPDATE yourprefix_content SET metadata = '{"robots":"noindex, follow","author":"","rights":"","xreference":""}' WHERE id IN (18,25,26,30,43)
Do something similar for categories and menus.

That's what I think I do, but I was hoping to use some internal tool to Joomla or an extension.
OK. Thank you.
