Hello, I would like to hide the page name in DNN.
Let's say for a page www.mydomain.com/secretpage.aspx
I need to show only www.mydomain.com...

Maybe on the secretpage.aspx I use and Iframe showing areallysecretpage.aspx?
Anyone has done this before?

Thank you,
Oliver

Hello, it seems there is no way to hide the URL of a page - in my case it is only a SINGLE page.... I've done some research and alternatively I could at least prevent google from indexing the page. It is only one page and I dont want to modify the robots.txt file or other portal wide settings....

I found a few posts related to http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&...

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW, NOCACHE">

<script runat="server">
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim descriptionHtmlMeta As New HtmlMeta()
descriptionHtmlMeta.Name = "robots"
descriptionHtmlMeta.Content = "noindex"
Page.Header.Controls.Add(descriptionHtmlMeta)
End Sub
</script>

However, if I look into the source code of the page the standard meta tag <meta id="MetaRobots" name="ROBOTS" content="INDEX, FOLLOW" /> is still there.

Do I really need to change the DNN skin? or is there a way to hide a SINGLE page from search engines...

Regards,
Oliver

you shouldn't hide the page address, otherwise Google will not be able to index your content properly. you may, however, hide the file extension, e.g. by using UrlMaster from www.ifinity.com.au.

I presume if it's secret you require login; I just use roles and only those in the role see the page, period...  Doesn't even show in the menu otherwise.

Hi Roberet and Sebastian, thank you for your comments.

I would like to have a price draw (e.g. Amazon vouchers) using http://cloudflood.com/

1. There will be a share this button on the hompage
2. Participants use the CloudFlood button to share a link on twitter or facebook
3. Then they should be forwarded to a DNN page with a form to enter their name and email address

Hence,
A) This page should not be indexed by google
B) the URL should not be visible to the user otherwise they can forward the address to their friends and everyone can enter the name without sharing a link....

I do realise that my approach may not be 100% bullet proof but we are talking about a huge ammount of money....

Thanks.
Oliver
