Simple robots.txt app for django
Project description
This is a simple application to create a robots.txt file for django. It has no models at all and you’re supposed to edit a template to update the robots.txt file. I got tired of having to add this view to each and every project because Django doesn’t have a built in text/plain view.
See the robots page for details what the file should look like.
Usage
Get django-robots-txt into your python path:
pip install django-robots-txt
Create your custom robots.txt file in one of your template directories as robots_txt/robots.txt.
Add a robots.txt view to your root urls.py:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
from robots_txt.views import RobotsTextView
urlpatterns = patterns('',
...,
url(r'^robots.txt$', RobotsTextView.as_view()),
...,
)
That’s it, your robots.txt template will be served.
This urlconf entry is also supported if you prefer to keep it short:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
...,
url(r'', include('robots_txt.urls')),
...,
)
You can add robots_txt to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py if you don’t want to create your own template and don’t mind having an empty robots.txt:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...,
'robots_txt',
...,
)
Changes
