Topic-icon GWT shows 404 error on JFBConnect link in javascript?

Active Subscriptions:

I've discovered a bunch of 404 errors in GWT that are pointing to JFBConnect.

The links showing the 404 error are all the following:

www.domain.com/component/option,com_jfbc...k,loginFacebookUser/

The script is:

var jfbcLogoutFacebook = true;
var jfbcBase = 'www.domain.com/';
var jfbcOptionsPermsUrl = 'www.domain.com/component/option,com_jfbc...k,loginFacebookUser/';
var jfbcRequiredPermissions = 'email,publish_stream,user_events,user_hometown,user_website,sms';


Strange that everything is running fine except for the 404 errors on GWT. I blocked them for now with robots.txt, but something is amiss? "component" should be "components" I suppose?

Please advise.

Thanks,

No, "component" is correct. None of those 404's are 'real' errors. Google is crawling Javascript variables and resolving the pages form them. The problem is that those pages are only accessible to users that have logged into your site through Facebook, and aren't valid to be 'crawled'. So, blocking them is appropriate, but it shouldn't hurt you in either way (other than having to sift through them).

The upcoming 4.1 release fixes some of the issues by not showing the Javascript variables as much to try to improve these errors, but again, they're not something you should be overly concerned with either way.

No problem. We hope you'll choose to resubscribe to JFBConnect again soon. The 4.1 release should be out next week, and has a ton of new features, improvements, and minor bug fixes.

Best of luck,
Alex
