Configuration Manager - Platform

The "Platform" menu is used exclusively to configure the global platform URL. This is required for some functions to work.

Note: The Public URL must end with "/".

Setting

What does the setting do?

Public URL

The URL entered here is used for links in the learner frontend (e.g. links directly from the catalogue manager). Please note that the URL must end with "/".

Robots.txt content

Defines which parts of the site search engine crawlers may access. The first directive is a User-agent: line, followed by one or more Allow:, Disallow:, or Sitemap: directives. Lines starting with # are treated as comments and ignored. Leave empty to use the default (disallow all).

Example:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /private/
Allow: /public/
Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml

Note for robots.txt:

  • The configuration is global per platform. Client-specific content is not supported: one robots.txt applies to one domain.

  • URLs inside the file must be relative to the platform URL, not absolute.

  • The validation checks the format of each line. It does not check whether a directive is meaningful for a specific crawler, and it accepts directives outside User-agent, Allow, Disallow, and Sitemap.

  • Your content replaces the default content completely. The platform does not merge your directives with the default.

  • A robots.txt file instructs crawlers, it does not restrict access. Crawlers can ignore it, and URLs that are linked from other sites can still appear in search results.

  • If the learning platform is not reachable, the server throws an error so that crawlers stop
