XF 1.4 noindex a specific forum

[dethfire]

I have a new member intro forum that is really junky to search engines. how do I noindex threads in that forum? I assume a conditional in page container?

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> thread_view

Add this code to the top:

<xen:if is="in_array({$thread.node_id}, array(80,81))">

<xen:container var="$head.robots">
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex" /></xen:container>

</xen:if>

You must specify the list of node_ids.

I was looking for something like this, but with this solution, sitemap.php will still send URLs of those forums to Google.

#3 Answering myself... there is an add-on which does that: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/th-remove-from-sitemap.3854/
