MODx placeholder for page generation time in Evolution was [^t^] and it was described on rtfm.modx page.
I just read whole page about Revo placeholders, search in rtfm and google for 'page generation time' and didn't find such placeholders.
I have tryed
q: [[^qt]] ([[^q]]) + php: [[^p]] = [[^t]]
(as described in one's blog) inside my #footer chunk and get no results.
Who knows how to get page generation time in MODx Revo? Is there still placeholder or I have to write my own snippet for this?
Although the syntax looks like Evo, the tags [^qt^], [^q^], [^p^] and [^t^] do work in Revolution.
However the way Revo works means that the Query Time and Request tags are often unreliable - http://forums.modx.com/index.php?topic=56800.0
Try out the Executioner wrapper snippet to check how long individual snippets take to execute.
use this
Query Time: [^qt^]
Request: [^q^]
PHP Exec: [^p^]
Total time: [^t^]

I have project of documentation in gitbook with about of 1000 pages. Result of website generation is set of html files in common size 300 MB. There are 2 causes of such result:
1) All pages listed in SUMMARY.md and as result all generated static htmls has this large menu in 1000 links. The menu is not fully shown thanks to plugin which hides subchapters, but in any case whole menu is inside each html page. If to remove a page link from the SUMMARY.md, the associated html file doesn't generates. Is where any method to generate website with reduce menu (in this case access to subchapters pages will be provided from content of chapters pages)?
2) Big part of the content is not english text, and it translates in sequence of 7-chars codes (like this ģ), how to keep native 1-char symbol?
I'm not sure about your second issue, but it sounds like you can segment the menu as you wish, judging from the theming documentation: https://toolchain.gitbook.com/templating/variables.html
I'd like do this programmatically:
Given a page URL, I need to get all links on the page. What's important is that at least 3 pieces of link info must be obtained: anchor text, href attribute value, absolute position of the link on the page.
Java CSSBox library is an option, but it's not fully implemented yet(the href attribute value cannot be obtained at the same time and some extra mapping must be done with additional library such as Jsoup). What's more, the CSSBox library renders a page really slow.
It seems that Javascript has all functions available but we have to inject the javascript code into the page and write a driver to take advantage of existing browsers. Scripting languages such as Python and Ruby have support for this as well. It is hard for me to find out the most handy tool.
Does PHP's DOM manipulation library help you? http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php
I want to create my webpage so that a part at the top that says "Welcome!" and a "main part" below that. When a user clicks on a link in the main part (say, it links to www.example.com), the main part should change to the content of www.example.com, but the top part should remain the same. How can I achieve that?
In ye olde days, this was done using frames, but for many reasons, they are going out of use. Try taking a look at iframes.
I believe you're looking for the
<frameset>
tag: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_frameset.asp
The <frameset> tag is not supported in HTML5. Although <iframe> works, it will impact your page's searchability (SEO), and setting up the page to scroll properly will be a hassle because the "top" part of the page will be like a page of itself.
Instead of using (i)frames, if you have PHP enabled on the server, you should store the "top" of your webpage as a separate file like "top.php", and in every page, include that with
include_once("top.php")
I'm having difficulty getting the pagination functionality working with [[Ditto? ... ]] in MODx CMS.
I have the documents displaying in the page, limit is set to 5. The output from my other pagination template placeholders seem to be working but the [+next+] link doesn't load the next set of 5 documents (going in descending date order).
Here's my template code:
[[Ditto?
&parents=`13`
&tpl=`ArticleListChunk`
&display=`5`
&&removeChunk=`Comments`
&paginate=`1`
&extenders=`summary,dateFilter`
&paginateAlwaysShowLinks=`0`
&dateFormat=`%F %D %Y`
]]
<p>Showing <strong>[+start+]</strong> - <strong>[+stop+]</strong> of <strong>[+total+]</strong> Articles</p>
<ul class="clearfix">
<li>[+previous+]</li>
<li>Page <strong>[+currentPage+]</strong> of [+totalPages+]</li>
<li>[+next+]</li>
</ul>
The output I get is:
Showing 1 - 5 of 17 Articles
Page 1 of 4
Next >
as you can see the output is correct, however when I click the 'next' link the resulting URL is .../news.html?start=5 but the content of the page stays the same (i.e. the latest 5 documents are shown!).
This is how the template and functionality was when I was inherited this project from a client, and I have never used MODx CMS before -- can anyone help me please?
I there a way to update the SQL offset with a parameter or something? I've been all through the Wiki pages for Ditto / MODx but can't find what I need or what I should be doing that I'm not!
I would think you need to call ditto uncached [[!Ditto? attribs ]]
That's just a guess.
Also it looks like you are using EVO? check the cache syntax, you might need to put an exclamation mark at the end as well. [[!Ditto? attribs !]]
After plenty of searching I found a post on the MODx forum that pointed me in the right direction.
Turns out that caching was enabled in the page/document's settings (doh!). I disabled this and now it works fine!
However I have not set the no-caching token ('!') in Ditto's parameter string which, including the answer from Sean, my research has suggested is advisable and/or required. I've not worked with MODx before so I can't say for certain, but it seems to work without this for me!
Thanks #SeanKimball as your answer set me down the right path.
In my WordPress blog, I have "Posted ? days ago" on every post. I have 10 posts on my homepage. So according to most keyword analysis tools, "days ago" is a top keyword on my blog, but I don't want it to be. How can I hide those words from search engines?
I don't want to use Javascript. I can easily use PHP and the $_SERVER variable, but I'm afraid I might get penalized for cloaking. Is there a HTML tag or an attribute like rel="nofollow" that I can use?
From Is there any way to have search engines not index a certain section of a page?
Supposedly you can add the class
robots-nocontent to elements on your
page, like this:
<div class="robots-nocontent">
<p>Ignore this stuff.</p>
</div>
Yahoo respects this, though I
don't know if other search engines
respect this. It appears Google is
not supporting this at this time.
I suspect if you load your content via
ajax you would get the same effect of
it not being present on the page.
and
There's no general way to do that and
personally I wouldn't bother with it.
Search engines are pretty good at
recognizing relevant content on a
page, and even though that content
might show up in the keywords that
search engines have found, it doesn't
mean that it would make the page
relevant for those keywords.
If you have a page about "Fish" and a
page about "Dogs" (that has the link
to the page about "Fish" somewhere in
the sidebar), search engines will
generally be able to recognize that
the page about "Fish" is much more
relevant for "Fish" than the page
about "Dogs" that mentions "Fish" in
the sidebar. It's possible that both
pages might be found at some point,
but generally given that mostly one
page from the site is shown in the
search results, that's not something
worth worrying about.
There's no need to be fancy with that,
and search engines are likely to just
get more confused if you try (eg if
you use JavaScript to hide the
content, you never know when search
engines will start to find that
content regardless). Similarly, using
iframes with robots.txt disallows or
AJAX will frequently degrade the
quality of your pages to users (slow
it down or make it less usable on a
variety of devices), so unless there
is a very, very strong & proven reason
that you need to do this, I would
strongly recommend not bothering with
it.
What I have found on wiki:
For Yandex:
<!--noindex-->Don't index this text.<!--/noindex-->
For Yahoo:
<div class="robots-nocontent">Don't index this text.</div>
For Google:
<!--googleoff: index--> Don't index this text.<!--googleon: index-->
Linksku, I'm fairly sure you shouldn't be worried about that particular piece of text. Our algorithms do a relatively good job detecting boilerplate text. As far as I can tell from your question, this text is boilerplate and we likely already know that.
As for detecting Googlebot and don't serving this text for it, you're right, that would be cloaking and you should never do it. In this case if you hide that text from us, we will also have a hard time detecting it's boilerplate and you would end up doing exactly what you're trying to avoid :)
I worked this out and posted it up at: http://www.scivillage.com/thread-2580.html
This should work, however more testing of it and feedback would be appreciated.
.x:before{
content:attr(title);
display:inline;
}
<ul>
<li><span class="x" title="Homepage"></span></li>
<li><span class="x" title="Contact" /></li>
</ul>
(I kept the class name short to reduce mark-up creep)
The search engines should ignore HTML tags with empty values when comes to looking for keywords, this should mean that it ignores what is written in the title attribute. (It assumes that the value is what's important, if it's empty then there is no point checking the attributes)
It was suggested that it's possible to negate having the closing tag in HTML5 due reduced strictness, however there is counter suggestions that end tags are still required.
I'd suggest not using it directly on a (anchor) tags since they can be used for sitemaps (using #), so it's means they would like have the Title spidered.
Although it is possible that it might assume any title content is there to inflate keywords through hidden elements, however I can not confirm this.
To exclude specific text from Google search results you can add data-nosnippet attribute.
https://developers.google.com/search/reference/robots_meta_tag#data-nosnippet-attr
From google documentation
You can also prevent certain parts of the page text content from being shown in a snippet by using data-nosnippet.
HTML:
<div class="hasHiddenText">_</div>
It is important that you leave a non-whitespace character between the element with a hidden text.
External CSS:
.hasHiddenText{
content: "Your hidden text here...";
/*This ovewrites the default content of the div but it isn't supported by all browsers.*/
}
.hasHiddenText::before{
content: " Your hidden text here...";
/*Places a hidden text above the div.*/
}
The "hidden text" pertains to content hidden to all search engines but visible to visitors.
You can also use nextline and all sorts of Unicode characters by escaping them with \uXXXX. To display linebreak characters correctly, be sure to add the
white-space:pre-line;
property.
