Google Canonical
« on: July 11, 2011, 05:48:35 PM »
Hello,

I am running 4images on my website, today i checked the Google webmaster section and i have noticed that Google is pointing many pages as duplicate, I am trying to use Google Canonical but i am unable to fix this issue. My website URL structure is as follows.

site.com/stuff/cat-nokia-7710-themes-27.htm
site.com/stuff/cat-nokia-7710-themes-27.htm?page=2
site.com/stuff/cat-nokia-7710-themes-27.htm?page=3

and so on

now I want to add Google Canonical to my first URL i.e. site.com/stuff/cat-nokia-7710-themes-27.htm

How should I do this?

Well, as you know doing manually will take ages as we have categories with 100 pages, so it won't do the trick, is there anything that can be changed i mean something in functions.php?

in my opinion there should be some changes in the following in functions.php

Code: [Select]
"cat_url" => $site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH."categories.php?".URL_CAT_ID."=".$image_row['cat_id']),
I am not sure i am right.

need your help.

No we are using modified .htaccess here is what we have in .htaccess

Code: [Select]
# Begin search engine friendly links code
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
#Mod_bmollet : category name in URL
RewriteRule ^cat-(.*)-([0-9]+).htm categories.php?cat_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
#Mod_bmollet : Image name in URL
RewriteRule ^theme-(.*)-([0-9]+).htm details.php?image_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

#Mod_bmollet : This is to make search function work  ( redirect links from search results )
RewriteRule ^theme([0-9]+).search.htm details.php?image_id=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^cat\.htm$ categories.php?%{QUERY_STRING}

RewriteRule ^postcard([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.htm$ postcards.php?postcard_id=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^postcard\.img([0-9]+)\.htm$ postcards.php?image_id=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}

I hope the above urls with page=2 and page=3 might be from comment pagination?

Here is how its done :).

open index.php file and find

Code: [Select]
include(ROOT_PATH.'includes/page_header.php');
Paste the following just before the above line.

Code: [Select]
if(isset($_GET['page'])) {
        $site_template->register_vars("google_con_url", '<link rel="canonical" href="' . ROOT_PATH . '/' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . '" />');
}
else {
        $site_template->register_vars("google_con_url", '');
}

and insert

Code: [Select]
{google_con_url} in header of your template. Make sure its between <head> tags.
