Good day!
For smf2.x this mod use native variable $context['canonical_url'].
For smf1.x - create url by variables ['current_topic'] ,  ['current_board']  and  ['current_action']

It will count the PHPSESSID in seo software or not. Normally in my website , no PHPSESSID shows at the top as well not in search engine. But in SEO software its.

You can remove session (auth) cookies for your forum, or use guest session in your browser, and load any topic (your forum). For first loaded page you can see
that internal links contains PHPSESSID. Tag "canonical" also contains session value.

For example, by direct link to your message:

Code: [Select]

$ curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0' http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=470299.msg3321726#msg3321726 | grep '"canonical"'note: this site rename "PHPSESSID" to "P"

PS can I see your forum url?

[shubha]

Did not work the above code. Can you please follow the robots.txt than

Disallow:/?PHPSESSID

I have read the simpemachines.ru ,but i forgot that url while translate. Some robots.txt

[maestrosite.ru]

Sorry, I do not understand you.

Step by step, SMF2 default config without mods (ex == for example):
1. If user agent don't send session cookie, internal links on received page contains session param.
Session cookie and session param names by default is PHPSESSID
ex: requested page from sitemap, or by external page - http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=470299.0

2. Meta-tag rel="canonical" (if present on a page) also contains session param
ex:

Code: [Select]

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?P=cf91a244cd05cf05c92009be72760d95&amp;topic=470299.0" />
3. Thus, we obtain two different addresses.

4. If we clean up the cookies and repeat steps, we obtain a new canonical address for the same page
ex:

Code: [Select]

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?P=78ea941eb4195ca54bf601a21a348553&amp;topic=470299.0" />

You can see this situation in real browser or in serverside software (API, gateways, agregators, etc...)


PS can I see your forum url? Or examples links with "Did not work the above code." Сan be a private message.

v0.6 - Create canonical url for "action=calendar" pages

[sneakers]

Hello,
I have problem with the mod . When I try to install the mod, suddenly logged out me with account on forum (smf 2.0.2). Do you know how to solve this problem? I also try to manual installation, but the problem still occurs.

Thanks,

How I can reproduce problem? Please, write you actions step-by-step.

[Arantor]

This mod is no longer required as of 2.0.6.

[daavidfischer]

So are you saying that we can see the canonical tag from the list? I was little confused here. Can you explain well how the canonical tag can be added? If you can explain it in detail that would be really helpful for my project.

Um, no.

2.0 has always had the canonical tag inside the source but prior to 2.0.6 it is buggy. This mod fixes the bug, SMF 2.0.6 fixes the bug in a different way.
