UKSB Google Merchant - Canonical URLs

Hello,

Currently the UKSB Goolge Merchant module puts the canonical url in the feed. This makes navigation of the site harder as the linked to page contains no breadcrumb links and the url gives no information as to shop categories.

I.e. at present it gives.
shop.com/product-name

Would to be possible for it to link to
shop.com/category/sub-category/product-name

My products do have related products but making it even easier to navigate to other similar products wouldn't be a bad thing.

Any thoughts on the possibility of this?

Due to the fact that products can belong to multiple categories, the extension follows the same working as default OC when linking directly to a product. (i.e. domain/product-name )

However, I will look in to the possibility of doing a check to see howmany categories the product is linked to and if linked to only one then it should be possible to generate the SEO URL as per your request.

Thanks very much. I look forward to finding out if it can be done or not.
