Description
Hi Leo,
If I have chosen a page to be "no index, follow" or "no index, no follow", the page still shows up in my sitemap.xml. It's weird that I would not want the page indexed but it's added into my sitemap.xml file.
Right now, a page is determined if it shows up in your sitemap.xml file if you have "do not search" checked. I'm thinking there are the rare cases where you would want a page to be internally searched but not to show up in search engines. In these cases you could still use the "no index" option and setup disallow's in the robots.txt, it's just funny that you would still submit it in your sitemap file.
Two options to determine the pages that show in the sitemap.xml:
1) When "no index, follow" or "no index, no follow" is chosen, the file will not be included in the sitemap.xml
2) Create a new option in site structure for "remove from sitemap.xml"

Also meines Wissens nach gibt es das schon.
Zu finden unter "Experten-Einstellungen" dort kann man unter "In Sitemap zeigen" auch "Nie anzeigen" auswählen. Mein Wissensstand ist, dass diese Seite dann auch nicht angezeigt wird.
Solution:
I think this function already exist under "Expert settings" -> "Show in sitemap" Value: "Show Never".

"Expert settings" - > "Show in sitemap" Value: "Show Never" makes it so the page is never shown in the "Sitemap module". That's not the issue however.
With this setting checked, the page will still show in the website "sitemap.xml" file. You can create one of these by going to "Site Structure", edit the settings of your "Route Website". Check "Create an XML sitemap" to create a sitemap for search engines. You'll notice that any combination of hidden pages, no index no follow pages, and hide from site map pages still show in the xml file.
