Canonical URL tags for the HOME page.

Quote

Post by DragonJ » Thu Mar 22, 2012 4:37 am

Google has updated my site's homepage URL in their index as...

example,com/index.php?route=common/home <--VERY BAD

What is the fix for this? Has anyone created code for a canonical tag for the home page? I searched, but couldn't find anything.

My store is awesomely powered by OpenCart 1.5.5.1.

Hi uksitebuilder,

Would it be possible to get the above code working on a multi-store setup?

Thanks

G47F - That can be done quite simply by changing

Code: Select all

$this->document->addLink('http://www.yourdomain.com', 'canonical');
to

Code: Select all

$this->document->addLink($this->config->get('config_url'), 'canonical');

This really is the soultion I'm looking for, but on OC 1.5.1.3 altering this php file didn't work. Could it be that my OC install is in a WordPress subfolder? I wouldn't have thought so, but I'm not sure.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
