[#6751] - Canonical link looses article ID
- Closed
- 17 Aug 2016
- Medium
- Build: master
- # 6751
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Create an article (say with ID 41)
- Access it via http://localhost/component/content/article.html?id=41 (*)
-
Look at the source code of that page. The canonical link will have lost the article ID:
<link href="http://localhost/component/content/article.html?id=article" rel="canonical" />
(*) (These URLs are created as canonical links when you call the page via http://localhost/component/content/article/41, see issue 6069
Expected result
The canonical should retain the article id 41 rather than replacing it by "article". Ideally, the canonical would be
<link href="http://localhost/component/content/article/41" rel="canonical" />
but even the originally called URL would be okay:
<link href="http://localhost/component/content/article.html?id=41" rel="canonical" />
Actual result
The article ID is completely lost in the canonical link and replaced by the string "article"
<link href="http://localhost/component/content/article.html?id=article" rel="canonical" />
System information (as much as possible)
Joomla 3.4.1 (from the released package), PHP 5.5.12 installed from stock Ubuntu packages
SEF enabled

I write a plugin for solving joomla articles diplicate issues. this plugin canonical all duplicate content to original content. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/site-management/seo-a-metadata/articles-canonical
joomir, OK, but that does not solve the main problem. It should work too without any workaround plugin.

Issue still exists. Generic canonical emitted: /component/content/article?id=article
