    Below is updated code. 

     

    <#if coreNode.id == "Test_Archive" || coreNode.id == "Test_Archive2">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
</#if>

    Yes, you can replace my old code with this one. 


    e.g for 12 categories 

    //Assign all the categories id below. 
    <#assign catIDs = ["Test_Archive2","Test_Archive", "Test_Archive3", "Test_Archive4", "and so on.."] />

<#if catIDs?seq_contains(coreNode.id)>
  <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
</#if>

     

     In above example you just need to update in catIDs variable, the condition will be same.

Indeed we will have 12 archiv bords (Test_Archive, Test_archive2 and so on) in 4 categories (Cat1, Cat2, Cat3, Cat4) in the future.

 

Does the code you sent me last replace the old one or is that a supplement?

    Where have you added this code?

     

    I don' t think there is a code issue. Could you please print some string inside a code and check of the page if it is reflecting on the page? 

    e.g 

     

    coreNode.id = ${coreNode.id}
<#assign catIDs = ["Test_Archive", "Archiv_CallYa", "Archiv_Mobilfunk"] />

<#if catIDs?seq_contains(coreNode.id)>
   inside condtion
  <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
<#else>
  outside condition
</#if>

    This will help you to debug what the issue.

    TariqHussainI inserted the code at this place:

     

     

    After I inserted your code with the string, the following message appears in the browser: "coreNode.id = ArchivCallYa outside condition" .

     

    What does it mean?

    housikrausi-

     

    It is due to you have passed the wrong id inside an array. 

     

    The id of your category is ArchivCallYa and you have passed Archiv_CallYa

     

    Please update the below variable

    <#assign catIDs = ["Test_Archive", "Archiv_CallYa", "Archiv_Mobilfunk"] />

    You can check id of any node by ${coreNode.id}

    TariqHussaini have now created the archive folders as i need them. In total there are 12 archives. For testing I changed your code and added two of my new Archiv boards. The "Test_Archive" already existed due to previous tests. For the excisting Archiv "Test_Archive" the noindex Tag was added. But for the two new ones "Archiv_CallYa", "Archiv_Mobilfunk" unfortnatly not. The Archiv Folders are all created with the same settings.

     

    Could it be a code error?

     

    <#assign catIDs = ["Test_Archive", "Archiv_CallYa", "Archiv_Mobilfunk"] />

    <#if catIDs?seq_contains(coreNode.id)>
      <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
    </#if>
