Just to Clarify- robots.txt file

Hi,

Just a quick question, since I can't seem to find an answer to this specific situation.

I read on another thread:

**The 'robots.txt' file is also best used for declaring what directories not to index, rather than individual pages.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /images/

The above states to not index or include anything within your images dir.**

Question: I just want to prevent popup images from being indexed. I have pages indexed that include text and pictures of my products. I don't want these images blocked.
Will this command block these images as well? :huh:

A robots.txt does not prevent indexing, but rather crawling. http://sebastians-pamphlets.com/crawling-vs-indexing/

If you would like your pop pages not indexed then add them to your spider's skip in includes/languages/your_template/meta_tags.php

This is the line you add it to define('ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP',

just add popup_image and the popup images pages will then contain a noindex, nofollow meta tag.
