The big problem about using returnid on urls

Post by viebig »

Since I started using cmsms, I think that returnid on the url is a bad idea, I will explain why:

On News Module, you´ll get duplicated content even using pretty urls( news/1/57/name.html )

57 is the returnid. For example if we set the detail page param, the returnid will always be the same. The fix our duplicated url problem.

But, that´s a quick and dirty fix. Anyone can create a link from anywhere on internet, changing the returnid to a valid return id on your site, then you´ll get duplicated content indexed, because of a malicious user, so if you use cmsms news, even with that detailpage param, anyone can screw you with dup content.

Suggestions?

I actually have a problem with this.
When I click on the news [more] link I hit the 404 page.
I can go to the news details when I strip off the "&cntnt01returnid=12" part.
Is there a way to fix that ?
How can I make CMSMS use the correct returnid ?

Hello,

Actually you can do modifications to your news module if you´re familiar with php. Otherwise you´ll always have to pass returnid.
