Adding meta tag depending on article status

[berto]

Want to add the noindex, follow meta tag to articles I have deleted - moved to trash bin. This in time will reduced the number of 404's as I eventually delete articles all together.

Would this be possible by doing something like:

<vte:if test="{article.status} = -2">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />
<vte:else>
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
</vte:else>
</vte:if>

Hm, not sure if this will work, but try with following VTE:

<vte:if test="{status.-2}">
  <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />
  <vte:else>
    <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
  </vte:else>
</vte:if>

Thanks Micha.

The way I tried (as above) seems to have worked.
