For some reason I created a Doc Type "Track", but there is no point to associate a template to it.
I fill some data to Track in the Content section. To render the content, I call a macro from the parent Track's Doc Type.
Even though there is no template associated to the Track Doc Type, a url is generated. For that reason search engines might index that page while crawling; as a result, the url might be available whereas the link has no direct content.
Hi, you should avoid to reference it within sitemaps / navigation. That way search engines wont find it, afaik. Most common way to do it is to add a property called umbracoNaviHide (true/false) and set it to true.
Since you are on a doctype-level, also using standard values (package) might be a good idea and always set umbracoNaviHide to documents using your Track-doctype.
Using a Doc Type with no Template
For some reason I created a Doc Type "Track", but there is no point to associate a template to it.
I fill some data to Track in the Content section. To render the content, I call a macro from the parent Track's Doc Type.
Even though there is no template associated to the Track Doc Type, a url is generated. For that reason search engines might index that page while crawling; as a result, the url might be available whereas the link has no direct content.
Is there any way to avoid that "issue"?
Thanks in advance.
