Uppercase lowercase in URL canonicalization

[zygissimo]

Hi everyone,

I have a client with old cms version and I have not have very deep knowledge in programming. Maybe you could help me.

I want to eliminate dublicate content in URL with upper and lower cases since they all are accessible by either:
1. Create a canonical tag in every single page pointing to itself only to the original URL (with lowercase). I've tried writing

Code: Select all

<link rel="canonical" href="{$node->url}"/> 

but no luck. I am getting a one weird link in all pages..
2. Or create 301 redirect in htaccess file. But some images I have contain capital letters in their name so the images are not displayed anymore.

Please help if you can.

Here's is what I am working with:

This is in some of the default templates...

{if isset($canonical)}<link rel='canonical' href='{$canonical}' />{elseif isset($content_obj)}<link rel='canonical' href='{$content_obj->GetURL()}' />{/if}

Thank you very much. Could you also help me tweak this code a little bit so I could get canonical in the main page without trailing slash in the back?

I've modified your code a little bit to this:

{if isset($canonical)}<link rel='canonical' href='{$canonical}' />{elseif isset($content_obj)}<link rel='canonical' href='{$content_obj->GetURL()}/' />{/if}

Because I get all the links within canonical without slash at the back. And these are 301 redirects to the ones with the slash ant the back.

But with this code in the main page I get this result:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.mainpage.com//"
