Enable the module to block search engine robots. Disable the module to let them crawl your site. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install this module like any other module. [See Drupal Documentation](https://drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-7) Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) Enable the module to block search engine robots. Disable the module to let them crawl your site. Advanced Configuration ---------------------- [](#advanced-configuration) You can set the `nobots` variable to **FALSE** to leave the module enabled, yet still allow robots to crawl your site. An example use-case would be to set `$settings['nobots'] = FALSE;` in settings.php for the production environment, and `TRUE` for all other environments. To set the state `nobots` to **TRUE**. `drush @[alias] state:set nobots 1` would block robots. You can also set the state `nobots` to **FALSE**. `drush state:set nobots 0` would set this state to false. Troubleshooting --------------- [](#troubleshooting) If you are experiencing issues with this module try reverting the feature first. If you are still experiencing issues try posting an issue on the GitHub issues page. Contribution / Collaboration ---------------------------- [](#contribution--collaboration) You are welcome to contribute functionality, bug fixes, or documentation to this module. If you would like to suggest a fix or new functionality you may add a new issue to the GitHub issue queue or you may fork this repository and submit a pull request. For more help please see [GitHub's article on fork, branch, and pull requests](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests) Releases -------- [](#releases) Steps to build a new release: - Checkout the latest commit from the `8.x-2.x` branch. - Create a new branch for the release. - Commit any necessary changes to the release branch. - These may include, but are not necessarily limited to: - Update the version in any `info.yml` files, including in any submodules. - Update the CHANGELOG to reflect the changes made in the new release. - Make a PR to merge your release branch into `master` - Give the PR a semver-compliant label, e.g., (`patch`, `minor`, `major`). This may happen automatically via Github actions (if a labeler action is configured). - When the PR is merged to `master`, a new tag will be created automatically, bumping the version by the semver label. - The github action is built from: [semver-release-action](https://github.com/K-Phoen/semver-release-action), and further documentation is available there.
