# FAQ {#faq}

## I installed the extension but no banners are shown {#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](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/derhansen/sf_banners:routing@8.1)

## Can I use my own templates? {#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 {#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
```
