Probably best left to the vBSEO guys, as I'm not sure why it'd be needed either if they already truly had achieved "link consensus" previously.:erm:

Simple answer :

Quote:
Enable Canonical URLs NEW!
A canonical URL is the "Preferred" URL for any page. Some pages have more than one accessible URL, creating a duplicate content problem. Google and other search engines now look for a META parameter rel="canonical", and use this as a hint to determine which URL is the correct one to index, i.e. the preferred version.

vBSEO's built in Link Consensus ensures that all pages on your forum are canonical to begin with, allowing for only one URL per resource. vBSEO's native canonical URLs provide advantages including greater crawling efficiency, optimized external linking, maximized link value. This is not provided with the rel="canonical" parameter alone. vBSEO's Application level link consensus is required for these advantages.

However, Google's canonical hints are helpful as a backup for URLs such as custom sorted pages. This level of redundancy will ensure that if search engines ever discover the sorting URLs, they will be instructed of the correct page URL for link consensus the first time they crawl the page. Examples include custom sorted versions of forumdisplay, social group discussions, member and blog lists, etc.

Will this work on 3.7.x?

That's neither simple nor an answer. That's a sales pitch.

And as FRDS points out above and as I said originally, to get back to THIS thread and THIS add-on, if you're using vBSEO you don't need this add-on. Move along people... nothing to see here...

Ignore, either I messed up, or now it's magically working. Either way, clicking install . . .

roddy 02-22-2009 10:44 AM
Ok, there is a problem here.
showthread.php?t=26237&page=9 > works fine

showthread.php?p=179223#post179223 > doesn't work.

Am seeing if I can figure it out, but probably I can't . . .

Edit: It does work if you paste it in below "$headinclude" in SHOWTHREAD. But not in SHOWTHREAD_SHOWPOST

total vbulletin newbie here.

Pardon my ignorance, but can anybody walk me thro' the process of installing this mod?

i downloaded the file but don't know what to do next? ( there's no read me? )

again sorry for such a basic question

good idea.

Will install it later

brandonroy 03-12-2009 07:59 AM
Installed. I did the manual edit and I took out this:

Code:
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == index">
<link rel="canonical" href="$vboptions[bburl]" />
</if>
Because I have my forum index set to /forum.php and it was adding <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com" /> to forum.php which is not what I wanted!

Is that ok?

EDIT:
And also, if a post is on page=2 or page=3, etc - Shouldn't the showpost.php?p= have the canonical URL of showthread.php?t=555&page=2 instead of just showthread.php?t=555 ? Or is that not a big deal?

MTGDarkness 03-13-2009 08:24 PM
It's working fine with vBulletin 3.7.x. Question-should the canonicals specify which page in a thread you're on? I'm using it with the TFSEO URL Rewrite, and I'm (of course) worried about conflicts. Like, regardless of what page I am on in a thread, it sends me to the first page with the canonical. Should that happen?
