FAQ

I installed the extension but no banners are shown

Make sure, that you included the TypoScript files from the extension. They include the 2 required JavaScript files:

• EXT:sf_banners/Resources/Public/Js/Postscribe.js

• EXT:sf_banners/Resources/Public/Js/SfBanners.js

If banners still do not get displayed and you use TYPO3 >= 9.5 and the PageType Route Enhancer, make sure that you configured a mapping - see Routing

Can I use my own templates?

Yes, this is possible since the extension is made with Extbase and Fluid. You can configure template settings by TypoScript

How to prevent banner links to get indexed by search engines

Since version 5.0.1 the extension instructs search engines to not index the "getBanners" action. This is done by sending a X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow HTTP header in the "getBanners" action.

Additionally you should ensure, that banner links contain rel="nofollow" in your template.

You should also instruct search engines to not index links containing arguments of the extension. This can be done by adding the following to your robots.txt:

Disallow: /*tx_sfbanners_pi1    # no banners
