I am trying to add a canonical url tag to my joomla website. The instructions on how to do this with Joomla are not clear and I am confused how I go about using this on all of my joomla site pages. My understanding is that I can add a plugin called JosTag to my site - then I assume I am supposed to somehow put in a canonical url tag on each page or article - as to how I do this I am totally confused.... does this tag go in the template directory after the <head> - or do you put it at the top of each article? And what do I do with the JosTag other than activating it as a plugin? Any help would be very much appreciated>> my site is http://www.webdesignmagik.com

You could indeed add a canonical URL for your articles with jostag, but it would be a no end job...
And it would only work when an article is displayed as a single article.

Better use specific components as SEF404.

Thank you Infograf, VERY useful plugin! We used it to add nofollow tag to some individual articles and it was simple.

Hi infograf,
(I'm posting here because It seems I can't login to the review page)

First of all:thank you for this great plugin (and for the advices you gave me in the past about multilanguage!)

I'm trying to use your plugin with oomla 2.5.
If I put something like {tag}meta name="googlebot" content="noindex, no follow"{/tag}
it works fine.
But if I put something like the following code:
{tag}<link rel=”canonical” href=”http://www.website.com/current-friendly ... ml”/>{/tag}

then the code goes into the body part of html instead of head section.
I can't see where I am wrong

Posted: **Wed Apr 11, 2012 7:21 am**

You should not include the < and /> in between the {tag}... {/tag}
And make sure your doublequotes are correct, i.e. " and not ʺ

I get here OK:
<meta name="googlebot" content="noindex, no follow"/>
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.website.com/current-friendly-url.html"/>

Posted: **Wed Apr 11, 2012 12:28 pm**

Thank you,
I didn't change anything in the code but now It goes in the head section, I don't know how actually! I just change editor from tinymce and set it back.

But if I check the page with firebug I get something like this

<link href="http://www.website.com/current-friendly-url.html" rel="canonical">

instead of:

<link rel=”canonical” href=”http://www.website.com/current-friendly-url.html”/>

Is this normal?

Hello infograph,

Thanks for sharing your great plugin, but I can't make it work unfortunately. When I type a tag in the body of an article, it doesnt convert to a head tag....

One page using Jostag can be seen here :
http://test.anco.pro/index.php/blog-cod ... n-caraibes

the site is under Joomla 2.5.4

Your help would be greatly appreciated

Merci !
Adrien

Make sure you enable the plugin

Posted: **Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:28 pm**

sorry,
I forgot to mention important info, sorry. Actually, I dont manage to set up the plugin. Each time I tried, I got this error :

JInstaller: :Install : le fichier n'existe pas /homez.187/ancokkaz/www/test/tmp/install_4fe4c6c5e30a1/index.html

Plug-in : erreur à l'installation

Posted: **Sat Jun 23, 2012 5:54 am**

Can you install any other extension?
Have you tried to install thee version of the plugin for the 1.7/2.5 series and NOT the 1.5 one?

Hi

I get an error when trying to install this particular plugin, other plugins install fine. I have also tried to instal lit on a remote server running the latest versions of php/joomla. Same errors. The error below comes from a local XAMPP installation. I've also downloaded the plugin from the download site multiple times to ensure there is no crc errors or similar problems with the install package.

You are correct. the index.html file was missing.
Please use new zip.
I also attach it here.

Hi

Superb, that worked.

Thanks!

By the way, I have one security concern with this. Wouldnt it be possible for someone to abuse this in the comments of an article? I don't want people to be able to add external JS/CSS to the head page of the site by simply adding the tag code in a comment. (?)

Posted: **Mon Jun 25, 2012 5:47 am**

I have no idea how you implement comments on your site.
I doubt any content plugin would be loaded in these.
Best is for you to test for example with a {loadmodule ...}.

Concerning front-end authors, yes, they could write a new article containing the tags, if they are aware the plugin is active.

But in both cases, this would add stuff in the "meta" tag, therefore one can't load a js or a css file through it.

Code is
$document->addCustomTag($tag);
not
$doc->addStyleSheet
or
$doc->addScript

hello infograf,

thanks for fixing this. It works great now

by the way, using Jostag is the only way I found to insert Geo Tags within a Joomla site.

regards,

I have the following info entered into a jostag module positioned in the absolute position of Purity II from Joomlart, but it is not working correctly:

Code: Select all

{tag}link href="slider/css/red.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="red"{/tag}
{tag}link href="slider/css/fonts.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"{/tag}
{tag}link href="slider/css/photos.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"{/tag}
{tag}script type="text/javascript" src="slider/js/jquery-1.6.1.min.js"{/tag}
{tag}script type="text/javascript" src="slider/js/stepcarousel.js"{/tag}
{tag}script type="text/javascript" src="slider/js/option.js"{/tag}
{tag}script type="text/javascript" src="slider/js/showhide.js"{/tag}
{tag}script type="text/javascript" src="slider/js/photos.js"{/tag}
{tag}script src="slider/js/styleswitch.js" type="text/javascript"{/tag}

Am I doing something wrong? The plugin is enabled, the module is enabled, and it is set to show up only on the pages I choose.

Posted: **Tue Jul 24, 2012 7:26 am**

jostag version 2.1 was not optimised to include js files.

Please find here a new version 2.2.

jostag_plugin_for_2.5.zip

Note: the format to include js files is:
{tag}script src="myjavascript.js" type="text/javascript"> </script{/tag}

Please install and test.
New version now available through JED:

I just downloaded the plugin from your site (http://info-graf.fr/infografcvs/t%C3%A9 ... g-2-5.html), uninstalled the old plugin, installed the new one, and adjusted the code in my module so that it looks like this:

Code: Select all

{tag}link href="slider/css/red.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="red"{/tag}
{tag}link href="slider/css/fonts.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"{/tag}
{tag}link href="slider/css/photos.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"{/tag}
{tag}script src="slider/js/jquery-1.6.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"> </script{/tag}
{tag}script src="slider/js/stepcarousel.js" type="text/javascript"> </script{/tag}
{tag}script src="slider/js/option.js" type="text/javascript"> </script{/tag}
{tag}script src="slider/js/showhide.js" type="text/javascript"> </script{/tag}
{tag}script src="slider/js/photos.js" type="text/javascript"> </script{/tag}
{tag}script src="slider/js/styleswitch.js" type="text/javascript"> </script{/tag}

Unfortunately, it did not work; the live page looks just as it did with the old version of the plugin.

Posted: **Wed Jul 25, 2012 5:59 am**

Please look at the source of the page where the html module is displayed and copy here the head of the page.

This is what I get here:

Code: Select all

 <script src="/trunk/media/system/js/mootools-core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

  <script src="/trunk/media/system/js/core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

  <script src="/trunk/templates/beez_20/javascript/md_stylechanger.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script src="/trunk/templates/beez_20/javascript/hide.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
window.addEvent('load', function() {
				new JCaption('img.caption');
			});
function keepAlive() {	var myAjax = new Request({method: "get", url: "index.php"}).send();} window.addEvent("domready", function(){ keepAlive.periodical(3600000); });
  </script>

  <link href="/trunk/slider/css/red.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="red"/>
  <link href="/trunk/slider/css/fonts.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
  <link href="/trunk/slider/css/photos.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
  <script src="/trunk/slider/js/jquery-1.6.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>
  <script src="/trunk/slider/js/stepcarousel.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>
  <script src="/trunk/slider/js/option.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>
  <script src="/trunk/slider/js/showhide.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>
  <script src="/trunk/slider/js/photos.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>
  <script src="/trunk/slider/js/styleswitch.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>


<!--[if lte IE 6]>

etc.

Posted: **Thu Jul 26, 2012 8:37 pm**

I think I found the issue. Since the script items have, essentially, two tags, I had to modify your examples like this:

Code: Select all

{tag}link href="slider/css/red.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="red"{/tag}
{tag}link href="slider/css/fonts.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"{/tag}
{tag}link href="slider/css/photos.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"{/tag}
{tag}script src="slider/js/jquery-1.6.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"{/tag} {tag}/script{/tag}
{tag}script src="slider/js/stepcarousel.js" type="text/javascript"{/tag} {tag}/script{/tag}
{tag}script src="slider/js/option.js" type="text/javascript"{/tag} {tag}/script{/tag}
{tag}script src="slider/js/showhide.js" type="text/javascript"{/tag} {tag}/script{/tag}
{tag}script src="slider/js/photos.js" type="text/javascript"{/tag} {tag}/script{/tag}
{tag}script src="slider/js/styleswitch.js" type="text/javascript"{/tag} {tag}/script{/tag}

I was asking you:
Please look at the source of the page where the html module is displayed and copy here the head of the page.

with the new plugin and without these new {tag}

Posted: **Tue Sep 11, 2012 10:47 am**

Hello,
I use JosTag but the Google Analytics Content Experiment code code I've entered is shown 2 times:

...

Sorry the issue was caused by a conflict with another plugin; I uninstalled it and now the JosTag plugin works fine!

Posted: **Wed Nov 21, 2012 6:04 pm**

Amazing plugin!

I am having just 1 problem. Anything I enter between the {tag}{/tag} get's inserted 2 times into the head.

Do you have any idea why this may be?

Posted: **Thu Dec 13, 2012 11:52 am**

Hi

Great plugin. I am using it for canonical etc.

I need to track my 404 page with a script. But it strips the < and />
I know you say that i should avoid it, but is there a workaorund to get the script working?

{tag}script type="text/javascript">

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXX-X']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/404' + location.pathname + location.search]);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script{/tag}

Posted: **Fri Dec 14, 2012 6:14 pm**

Version 2.2 of Jostag for 2.5 will add your script to head.

infograf768 wrote:Version 2.2 of Jostag for 2.5 will add your script to head.

I use v 2.2 for J 2.5

The problem is that the tag plugin strips < and /> inside the tag. Because the script has more than 1 start and end signs.

The original script is and the highlighted signs gets stripped :

<script type="text/javascript">

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXX-X']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/404' + location.pathname + location.search]);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>

It works OK here.
