Search crawl of Forums taking a long time
Hi, we're trying to do a search crawl and index our Forums content using the Google Search Appliance and also the SharePoint search crawler. We noticed that the crawls were taking a long time (over ...
Forum Discussion
We opened a support case for this and got this back:
“...it has been determined that the platform does not offer this feature and there is not a clear workaround.”
So how do we get this onto the radar for a future release? It should be an easy fix and will benefit everyone using the forums, not just search crawlers.
As a help, if I was writing it in .NET (the only code I know) and the pages were being rendered dynamically, then I would use HttpResponse.AddHeader to add the required header.
I don't know what the Lithium forums are written in so can't help you there. Anyone...?
Hi aheywoo
have you considered posting this idea in the Customer Ideas Exchange ? In that way, it can get more visibility with the product management and get more votes within the community.
I am not part of the engineering department so I cannot really comment on the implementation steps, however based on my personal experience it is likely to be more involved than a one liner change - taking into account that you need to calculate the right date to insert into the header for each page served etc...
Thanks for your suggestion!
- Thanks Paulo, I'll post it there.
And yes, you're right. It certainly wouldn't be 1 line; but still, not a hard fix.hi aheywoo
Honestly haven't tried but one possibility is to use the Page Init scripts
Conceivably, it should be possible to add custom code in Page Init to:
- check if you're on the Forum Topic Page
- if so, make rest api call to get the message of current topic, last update time
- use the http.response freemarker context object to add the Last-Modified header to the response
Suggest reach out to Lithium Professional Services (via Support or your Account Executive) for deeper feasibility/analysis.
