[Forum] forumid condition in headinclude template problem

[M.Scheel]

Hello

I want to exclude a specific forum from being indexed by google via robots meta data.
Therefor I need a condition in the headinclude template. I tried the following which should work however it does not:

<vb:if condition="$forum[forumid] == 33"> <meta name="robots" content="NOINDEX, NOARCHIVE" /> </vb:if>

Does anyone has a solution for me?

Help is much appreciated

Have you tried placing the url to that forum in your robots.txt?

If you make it so Unregistered Users may not view the forum, then it will not get indexed by the spiders.

Try using $GLOBALS['forumid'] in place of the variable you are using.

the $GLOBALS['forumid'] variable worked. Thanks

I want the forum to be visible for guests and excluding it in robots.txt does not make it not listed on google but thanks for the help
