I am using Joomla! 2.5.17 Stable version of Joomla. I have created a component that uses a code to add canonical URL:
Code: Select all
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addCustomTag("some custom code");
$document->addCustomTag("<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"$theCorrectCanonical\" />");Since i have a lots of views it is defined in each view for my-view, my-view2 etc.
It was working fine. The canonical link was added properly. Event if i had cache on.
And lately i have disabled modules i didn't need anymore. So i disabled them and website was working fine after this.
Suddenly i have discovered Google marks my pages as non-canonical.
After looking at the code of website i have noticed that the HTML head looks like this:
Code: Select all
some custom code
<link rel="canonical" href="correct-url" />
<link rel="canonical" href="url-of-a-page-i-visited-second-ago" />I have tried to search for a solution, but didn't find any. Also i have noticed that when i disable cache in config with:
Code: Select all
public $caching = '0';Index.php of my template looks like this:
Code: Select all
