Why is ee writing this code

<link rel="canonical" href="{page_url}">

into

<link rel="canonical" href="http://thomaswinterstetter.com/de/webdesign/">

And yes, I have no trailing slash in the page_url

Thank you.

Hi Thomas,

Can you give us the build and version number of your copy of expression engine please.

Thank you.

Hi Thomas,

Please try using page_uri instead.

Cheers

Greg

hey greg!

as expected this is what page_uri outputs:

<link rel=“canonical” href=”/de/webdesign/”>

Pls read this:

I understand that adding a trailing slash in EE 2 makes no longer sense - that is why i want to get rid of all unwanted ones!

Having the config option for “trailing slashes” seems to make sense.

Thomas,

Can you tell us exactly what you add as the Pages URI under the Pages Tab in this entry? Do you have a trailing slash there?

Also in your General configuration can you tell us what you have added for the URL to the root directory of your site?

I can replicate for the {page_url} but not for the {page_uri} where I suspect you may have added that trailing slash in the entry itself. Can you confirm?

john,
no trailing slashes in either one.
tks!

john,
i have further investigated and found you are right about page_uri.

<link rel="canonical" href="{site_url}{page_uri}">

outputs indeed

<link rel="canonical" href="http://thomaswinterstetter.com/de/webdesign/faq">

i hope we both agree that a viable solution will be page_url rendering this exact result.

i have found that my homepage (site_url) always has the trailing slash attached and wonder where this trailing slash still slips in from…

any idea?

in config.php i have this:

| Base Site URL
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| URL to your CodeIgniter root. Typically this will be your base URL,
| WITH a trailing slash:
|
|    <a href="http://example.com/">http://example.com/</a>
|
*/
$config['base_url']    = "http://thomaswinterstetter.com/";

/*

omitting trailing slash seems to have no effect here…

pls advise!

So why exactly is using

<link rel="canonical" href="{site_url}{page_uri}">

not an option? That said, I’ll try to reproduce that behavior.

Hey all!

Closing off the thread.

Cheers,
