Robots.txt update (how to keep existing data when prestashop refresh file)

[Santietsit]

Hi,

I have included some Disallow directives into the robotx.txt file.

The thing is that each time I create a development site at my hosting, the robot file gets updated and the directives that I've included so need to do it again. Is there any way so the existing entries are being kept?

Hi.

override functions ./classes/Tools.php => public static function generateRobotsFile($executeHook = false)

or hook

actionAdminMetaAfterWriteRobotsFile

or

override function public static function getRobotsContent()

thanks a lot, will have a look. But I also understand there are merits on prestashop to update the file (so it can incorporate new entries) so is there a way that prestashop, when updated the robots keeps those lines too?

Hi.

Yes, if you use a hook.
This item has not changed in 8 years.

The following hooks are in Tools.php
actionHtaccessCreate
actionAdminMetaBeforeWriteRobotsFile
actionAdminMetaAfterWriteRobotsFile
actionClearCache
actionClearCompileCache
actionClearSf2Cache
