DeEtteHello again!
It has been brought to my attention that there is still an underlying issue with how I have my system set up. I hope I can explain this in a logical way.
If I am on the “GERI Directory” page (https://www.education.purdue.edu/geri/geri-directory/) and click on one of the four names, such as “Marcia Gentry” it takes me to her profile page correctly (https://www.education.purdue.edu/faculty-profiles/name/marcia-gentry/) that is perfect.
The issue is that when someone Googles one of our faculty members, let’s say the Google “blake allan purdue” the second link goes to the GERI Directory (https://www.education.purdue.edu/geri/geri-directory/name/blake-allan/) instead of the main faculty directory and there is no showing of the main one.
My question is, is there any way to make the Connections system not create these “hidden unneeded pages”? I’m sure I could set up multiple systems such as no-index and redirects but would really like to be able to do something in the actual Connections system to prevent this from happening. As it stands currently I can type “https://www.education.purdue.edu/geri/geri-directory/name/%5Bany faculty name]” and get a page that make it look like they are part of GERI which they are not.
Thank you for all of your help on this Steven, I do truly love this system. I’m just trying to do weird things with it I believe!
All the best,
Garrett
