About custom urls and duplicate content

Post by will83 »

I installed the latest version of CMSMS. The new custom url feature is great.
But that does not generate problem for Google? Ppages have two URLs, so google can consider this like duplicate content?

Is custom url field accessible via smarty? So, we could use the tag :

Code: Select all

<link rel="canonical" href="http://real-url" />
to avoid this ?

Thanks

Code: Select all

{$content_obj->GetURL()}
Default templates should be doing this already.

Sorry, I didn't check the NCleanBlue template.
However, the "/" at the end of the canonical url is missing. There's a particular reason?

Thank you for your answer Calguy!
