Hi everybody, I have a Kunena Forum running with two categories. One is open to read for the public.
The other is just readable for special registered members.
Will Google or any other search engine be able to index this content???

The answer to your question "Will Google do something" depends on Google ... I would imagine. The answer also depends on whether you allow Google (or any other search engine) access to your website. In general terms, Kunena forum content is indexed and searchable by Google .

For example: www.google.com.au/#hl=en&sugexp=nspc&xhr...&fp=eaec104a31ca7666

There's your answer! :)

Hey Sozzled, thank you for the answer, but maybe you misunderstood the question.
I know that Google is able to index the accessible forums content. My question was focussing on the category that is NOT accessible to the public (only accessible for Administrator or Moderator).

I would expect and suppose that those contents are not accessible for Google but I wanted to be sure.

I saw forums where Google and other Bots have an extra staus like an registred user. Is there such a "feature" in Kunena?

Google and other 'bots have the same "status" as a guest - I would imagine. Have you seen examples where restricted Kunena forum content was indexed? I haven't.

I just wonder if i set "Registered Users Only" option as "Yes" on Security Tab on Kunena configuration,Can google spiders index those pages which don't allow to guests after the that setting?

I don't want to allow access guests in my forum.But i want to google spiders too? How does it work? Can anyone enlighten me about this subject...

thanks in advance

Yep - I need this.

My forum is accessible by members only for read access but I would like to allow Googlebot and all the other spiders to access and index forum content.

Is this going to require a hack or is there a way of allow this in 1.6.5?
