Hi, I'm using Oxwall for a private "master mind" group (a la Napoleon Hill). I don't want anyone outside of the members to see anything in it and I've locked down the site with the obvious settings.

What I couldn't find though was an option to tell search engines not to index the site. Do I need to edit this via FTP?

I also noticed that image files could be seen by non-members if they have the URL leading directly to the .jpeg or .png. Is there a way to fix that?

Thanks in advance! Great software by the way. My only criticism is that I wish the text editor was better (more formatting options, expandable editing area)

any page that is only view able by login google can not and others can not index as to see the images they would have to guess the names which is pretty hard to do

Paul, if you close your website for registration, then google bot will be able to reach sign-in and other pages won't be indexed at all

as to the image pathes those are permalinks, in order to change this behavior is considered as a custom code modification.

You can make a suggestion on uservoice http://oxwall.uservoice.com/forums/13756-ideas-for-oxwall or hire a programmer to do that for you: http://www.oxwall.org/market/specialists
