Issue ith canonical URLs

Hi,

Then I'm not sure what the change should be. It would require some debugging of the Language Filter plugin.

Hi Nicolas,

There's something that is confusing to me.
The canonical URLs work fine for one collection and not for the others. I can't understand why it's not consistent.
For the moment, as a temporary solution I disabled the "alternate" feature in the language filter plugin to have the canonical URLs displayed in the source code.

Me again.

I have another site in 2 languages and on this one no problem, canonical URLs work and alternate URL too. So it should be something within the site which prevents things to work as expected

Hi,

I just noticed another issue with canonical URLs.

Even with Add Alternate Meta Tags on NO, the canonical URLs are not correct.
In the default language (US), it's ok, but not in French, the canonical URL remains the same as you can see for example on this page:
rolex.jewelrygoldfinger.com/fr/collection/yacht-master

The canonical URL should contain "fr" but it doesn"t. In fact it displays the canonical URL set up on the main screen and not the one set up in the French screen,

I'm really not sure it's an issue with the plugin.

I really need to be able to solve this issue but I have no clue how.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

Indeed, I can see the translation of the canonical URL is ignored. I've made a patch which should fix the problem.
Download again the install package of the 5.0.0 and install it on your website and you'll get the patch.

Thanks a lot Nicolas. It works, 'fr' is now in the canonical URL.

I also noticed something (no clue if it can be of any help):
- Add Alternate Meta Tags on YES
- Remove URL Language Code on NO

For the default language (US), it's all good, canonical + alternate
In the second language (so here French), canonical is missing

Hi,

Isn't that the same problem we were talking about since the beginning of this thread ?

Hi Nicolas,

Yes, it's part of the problem.

Hi,

Well, if you can provide a backend and a FTP access, I can have a deeper look into it and maybe try to understand what can be done to fix the problem. If we provide a correct patch to the Joomla project, they'll be more reactive and integrate it in Joomla.

With pleasure!

Hi,

I think I found the solution.
Adding the line: before the line: in the file /plugins/system/languagefilter/src/Extension/LanguageFilter.php seems to do the job.

Hi Nicolas,

You rock!
It works like a charm.

Thank you so much!
