Canonical tags and RFC5988

Post by gppixelworks » Fri Dec 06, 2013 8:19 pm

Using v1.5.6

Am using an inhouse search engine which handles the canonical link tags and, therefore, doesn't index multiple, identical products. However it would appear that OpenCart may not be using this tag exactly as presented in RFC5988.


For example, RFC5988 defines a canonical like

Code: Select all

http://www.example.com/page.php?item=purse; rel="canonical"
However OpenCart generates the canonical link tag as:

Code: Select all

<link href="http://wightbooks.eu/walt-Disney-Snow-White-animation" ; rel="canonical" />
I believe adherence to RFC5988 would look like this:

Code: Select all

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/page.php?item=purse">;

Not sure what in house solution you're using but the canonical tag that is supplied with Opencart works without any issue. I have a lot of sites running and no issues.
