When i promote a thread to the CMS, how do i avoid duplicate content?

[NTT]

I do a lot of "Promote to article" threads and posts, where I'm practically copying them in vbCMS and making a duplicate content, right?

Please advise what should I do in this case in order to decrease the impact of duplicate content?

Example of the recent article:

vbCMS: http://www.svetsatova.com/forum/cont...1vila-sat.html

Forum: http://www.svetsatova.com/forum/f99/...-sat-6056.html

I just use robots.txt to block my cms category for promoted posts. Other than that I do not know of any way to get around this. I really do not think Google makes a big deal out of it though because it is duplicate content on your site. It shows up in webmaster tools but I do not think it impacts much if at all.

If you are worried though block the category with robots.txt and it will not be crawled.

Ok. Maybe i'll use robots.txt. Can you share it (robots.txt) for me, plz?

Other, All contents at my vbCMS is promoted from the forums.

I'll delete all code at vbcms_content_article_page. Can i do it?

There are a couple ways you can do it. You can block a section or category.

If all your content is posted there from the forum than just block the entire cms by adding

/content/ to your robots.txt file.

What do you mean delete all your code? Not sure what you mean but that does not sound like something I would do.

- I want to block articles (domain.com/content.php?id-url) but home-page (domain.com/content.php).

- I delete code at there to vbCMS don't show content at domain.com/content.php?id-url. (just link to promoted thread, example)

Why don't you just turn off the cms then?
Are there other things on your cms page?

I want to collect useful threads to home-page. Just to preview the article and link to forum. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=247758

That mod has not been touched in years I believe. You can set up cms to show previews of your posts using the cms settings. You do not need a mod.
