Right, my mistake. Google would never see that url. I was just using it as an example of a different url with similar content.
Looking forward to the next release.

yes, I'm rewriting everything to 'canonical'.
All topics are be crawled by the category index page. So you need have a active index menu item. Else you need to edit 1 parameter on your template.

Will create a example when the fix is done.

On K5.1 I will create a new option for each page, and will do it on a new backend view.

Will the Last Forum Topic module also receive the update? Currently the topic links are nofollow. If you are canonical everything then you can remove the nofollow from this module as well.

Also I notice you use rel="follow" on a few links which is not valid HTML anymore. See: www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_rel.asp
Thanks for the hard work.

Hi, just following up on the canonical urls

I am investigating the use of canonical urls and I am running into some 'issues' with my site / forum.

According to Google there are some 'mistakes' when implementing canonical url's ( webmasters.googleblog.com/2013/04/5-comm...th-relcanonical.html

#3 - Unintended or multiple declarations of rel=canonical
#5 - rel=canonical in the <body>

So what I learned from this document: there can only be one link rel = canonical per webpage and that link should be in the head of the page not the body.

What I am seeing in the forum is that there are multiple canonical referrals in the body.
But and that worries me the most: when using kunena discuss, there are also multiple canonical urls on the article page (for every comment) > possibly conflicting with the intended (and correct) canonical url in the article itself?

When looking at this page: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Link_types
I cannot find a valid 'rel=canonical' for <a hrefs as these are used on the kunena forum pages (topic links)

Am I missing something?
