Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[DivaVocals]

Apologies in advance if this has been answered but I can't find any previous post regarding canonical URL issues and CEON URI Mapping. Ceon URI mapping works perfectly on my site except for canonical URLs.

All canonical URLS work for top level pages however, when drilling down to page 2, page 3, page 4 etc within a category pages canonical URLs continue to point to the top level page.

Example:
http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyjamas - canonical http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyjamas
http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=2 - canonical http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyjamas
http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=3 - canonical http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyjamas

Also - if anyone has any advice on implementing rel="next" and rel="prev" links.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This one has me stumped.

and this is how they should work.. so why don't explain what you think you SHOULD be seeing..

http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyjamas - canonical http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyjamas
http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=2 - canonical http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=2
http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=3 - canonical http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=3

Mistake 1: rel=canonical to the first page of a paginated series

Imagine that you have an article that spans several pages:

example.com/article?story=cupcake-news&page=1
example.com/article?story=cupcake-news&page=2
and so on

Specifying a rel=canonical from page 2 (or any later page) to page 1 is not correct use of rel=canonical, as these are not duplicate pages. Using rel=canonical in this instance would result in the content on pages 2 and beyond not being indexed at all.

http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyjamas - canonical http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyjamas
http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=2 - canonical http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=2
http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=3 - canonical http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=3

So, I'm assuming that the issue you are concerned about is that the canonical field in your distributed webpage does not contain the canonical link provided above. I say this because when I click on the canonical link I get to a webpage that has the same address as I clicked; however, has the same content as one without the sort and page information.

Yes mc12345678 that is exactly what I am after. Thanks.

Based on those results, I would say a template issue and not related to CEON URI. Suggestion would be to start a new thread or contact the template author to determine why your template is not capturing/creating the canonical link "correctly".

Oh I thought this was definitely a CEON URI problem specifically, hence the reason for posting here.
Do you know of any example sites using CEON URI successfully with canonical URLS where categories exceed 2 or more pages?

Thanks for your help in advance.

So, I claim that it's not a CEON URI problem, because CEON URI is not changeing the link away from the sort and page values and the result you are looking for is the same URI that stayed in the browr when I tried it. Therefore, it appears possible to obtain the desired information to be assigned to the canonical web page information. If the webpage is not capturing that which is template related, then it's not specifically CEON URI.

As for my knowing of other examples, I can not say that I do, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there. Maybe someone else will PM you such examples.

Sorry, ran out of time to edit. You could also start a thread looking for sites that match your criteria. Who knows it might help someone else.

I wanted to also say, I may be wrong about what it takes to show the canonical address, considering the various load locations of information, but it is not a problem with the current plug-n as it is written.

WT??????

Oh for heavens sake..

Yes mc12345678 that is exactly what I am after. Thanks.

right.. and you still have not described WHAT the SPECIFIC issue is you think IT IS you are having in this response.. You provided no details (because you assumed we all KNEW what you were trying to say) which explains the rest of these answers and responses..

so let me stop all of this back and forth right now by saying..

THERE IS NO ISSUE here!!!!

THE MODULE IS WORKING AS IS IT IS SUPPOSED TO!!!! NO DUPLICATE CONTENT ISSUES!!

Canonical URIs
•Any page with a static URI automatically has a canonical URI tag added to the page's header. This minimises “duplicate content” reports as it tells the search engines that multiple “pages” should be treated as one.
•For example, instead of the search engine thinking that /all-products?disp_order=1 is a different page from /all-products?disp_order=3, Ceon URI Mapping lets it know that the page's “real” URI is just /all-products and that these other URIs are just variations for the same page.

Could have answered this in just a FEW posts if the description of the problem had been detailed so folks aren't GUESSING what the issue might be..

Example:
http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyjamas - canonical http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyjamas
http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=2 - canonical http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=2
http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=3 - canonical http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=3

URL: http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyj...ort=20a&page=2

From the HTML Output

<base href="http://www.pyjamas.com.au/" /> 
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.pyjamas.com.au/womens/pyjamas" />

This is correct and what is SUPPOSED to happen..
