May somebody help to mee? I do this in Jsitemap.
Thnx to all who will try to help me :side:

Hi,

Make sure that you have the correct URL in the "canonical URL" field of your product.
If that's the case, Jsitemap should normally use that URL over a dynamically generated URL and thus you would get the correct URL in the site map, like with the integration we did with Xmap/mapX.
If the canonical URL is correct in the product but that you don't get it in the site map, I would recommend that you contact Jsitemap support as it might be something they forgot to take into account in their integration with HikaShop.

Hi Nicolas,

Thank you for quick reply. But what i can do if i disabled rel="canonical" because in Joomla it works terrible? It makes wrong canonical everywhere on all pages at the site. Maybe i can make some changes in sql query to join cathegory_pathway to url in sitemap? But i don't know what parameter is it and how it works in hika :dry:

Hi,

You can still disable rel="canonical" in Joomla and fill in the canonical URL of products.
First, it won't make wrong canonical URLs
Second, JSitemap should be able to use it.
And third, it's way either than customizing the code of JSitemap with complex queries to get the category_pathway, as it is not stored anywhere in the product but generated dynamically on the listings.
