guest* Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 When I choose some countries there to allow visibility and buy, than this apply only to customer, and not to search eingines, correct ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Looking at the code, the geolocalisation doesn't seem to distinguish between search engine and customer. It just checks the IP address. My guess is that if a search engine is from a restricted zone, it won't see anything put the "Restricted" page too, just like the customers.

guest* Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Oh, this is a big problem, because the big search engines are localized on countries I don't sell. So the tool is not so good I thought. Isn't there a possibility to code a whitelist for search engines, when you use the option: "Don't show catalog" ?

rocky Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 The only solution I can think of is to find out the IP addresses used by the search engine spiders and edit the IP address mapping so they map to a country that isn't restricted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest* Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 I posted this as a bug. The solution of mapping is the same when I don't use geolocalization and select user by .htaccess and own IP-list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
