I have a problem with googlebot spidering deleted events in the EB mini calendar on my home page. When an past event is removed from the calendar or when an event is deleted if a user or a bot tries to go to the calendar URL it triggers a loop in which a script continues to call the deleted event until the database log fills up and the server falls over.
My hosting company is understandably getting a bit unhappy and threatening to throw me off the server. I'm using Joomla 2.5, Events Booking, IceMegaMenu and SLIcomments. Everything is vanila and I've not modified any code.
In the logs below you can see this happening after a request to
/index.php/component/eventbooking/?view=calendar&month=12&Itemid=159
Which I stopped by editing robots.txt, however now the same thing is happening with requests to
/index.php?option=com_eventbooking&task=view_calendar&month=10&year=2014&Itemid=159
Robots.txt is not a long term solution. Unfortunately I have no way to easily determine which script is causing this. Please help or I will be forced to drop OSSolutions for an alternative booking engine.
Regards
Geoff
