Canonical URL for Home Page

Permalink Browser Info Environment September 02, 2011 at 3:05 AM

SEO Manager is creating a canonical tag with ".../index.php?cID=1".

Is that expected?

Is there a way to change it?

Thanks,

Marcus.

hey,
there is a bug in the current version of c5 that is creating that. Fixing this bug is being discussed by several members of the community, however at this time there is no fix.

12345j,

I changed line 13 of canonical.php to

if ($id == 1) {
         $v->addHeaderItem('<link rel="canonical" href="'.BASE_URL.'/" />');
      } else {
         $v->addHeaderItem('<link rel="canonical" href="'.$url.'" />');   
      }

Do you think that is ok? I don't know if the root/homepage of all concrete5 installations is id 1, but that works for us for the mean time.

Thanks for the follow-up,

Marcus

try using this

if ($id == HOME_CID) {
    $v->addHeaderItem('<link rel="canonical" href="'.BASE_URL.view::url('/').'" />');
} else {
    $v->addHeaderItem('<link rel="canonical" href="'.$url.'" />');   
}

which has a couple of advantages- HOME_CID will always be the id of the homepage, and view::url('/') will account for any subfolders that c5 might be in.

btw, I have added the above code to seo manager for version 1.2.1 and above and hope to get it included in c5 by default.

12345j,

You mentioned that you would included this addition into future releases of SEO Manager.

Could you confirm that is in version 2.2?

I am not seeing it there.

Thanks,
Marcus.

hi,
not sure if I really understood that but it seems like you want to redirect a blogger page to a concrete5 blog. If that is correct, then this is not a question to post in seo manager forums. you should instead look in the blogger help sectionhttp://www.google.com/support/blogger/?hl=en... or concrete5 forumshttp://www.concrete5.org/community/forums...
