Thanks for adding the canonical URL feature for categories in 2.1.2 and the existing product feature. Just a question regarding how it manifests on the site. I believe, the canonical URL tag would not have to show in the html on the canonical url html - but on the non-canonical urls - directing back to the canonical one. In my case I am using SH404 and while I can add canonical urls through this, I cannot see any tags appearing using the Hikashop canonical setup. If I add canonical urls using Hikashop then existing SH404 canonical url tags also then disappear. Hikashop canonical information is appearing in the hikashop product data base table. Should the Hikashop canonical system add html tags into html pages or does it work on the backend in some fashion with spiders?

Then, maybe SEF extensions are intelligent enough to not add the canonical tag to the pages if there is already one added before.

If there is a value in the data base for the Hikashop url then neither the Hikashop or SH404 canonical URL will be displayed. If the Hikashop value is removed from the database then the SH404 entered canonical value will be displayed on the page html. Seems like a compatibility issue with SH404.

In that case, you would have to add the code in it via the menu Display->Views yourself: Code: <?php if(isset($this->element->product_canonical) && !empty($this->element->product_canonical)){ $parsedCanonical = parse_url($this->element->product_canonical); $parsedCurrent = parse_url(JURI::base()); if(!isset($parsedCanonical['query'])) $endUrl = $parsedCanonical['path']; else $endUrl = $parsedCanonical['path'].'?'.$parsedCanonical['query']; $canonicalUrl = $parsedCurrent['scheme'].'://'.$parsedCurrent['host'].$endUrl; $doc =& JFactory::getDocument(); $doc->addCustomTag( '<link rel="canonical" href="'.$canonicalUrl.'" />' ); } ?> or remove your customization.
