For me it doesn't add numbers for both, I'm on 3.8.2

Disabling it for now, this can be disastrous for SEO ..

Update: Works with the template edit method except for the showpost part as stated brandonroy, thanks!

@atmaca, why would you need this with Zoints SEO, it already uses 301 redirects to take care of duplicate content?

Code:

<if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) OR (THIS_SCRIPT == printthread)">

<link rel="canonical" href="$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$threadinfo[threadid]<if condition="$pagenumber>1">&page=$pagenumber</if>" />

</if>

<if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showpost)">

<link rel="canonical" href="$vboptions[bburl]/showpost.php?p=$postinfo[postid]"/>

</if>

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == index">

<link rel="canonical" href="$vboptions[bburl]" />

</if>

I modify the code to make it work with showpost tempelate

For example, the canonical link for :

showpost.php?p=20020&postcount=18

is:

showpost.php?p=20020

which shows the same single post page but without post count #42 below the tread title

Is it good or not ?

This is not true for me:

How can I check if its working
Go to your showthread page, and hit view source, and search for "canonical" and you should see it automatically added.

The canonical is added to the source. So according to your explanation Google should no longer index double content. None the less Google still indexes both urls for the same thread:

showthread.php?t=26237

showthread.php?p=179223

I am getting hit with 30.000 double content pages. What can I do?

You misunderstand the purpose of this add-on and opf the canonicalization tag.

It does not eliminate duplicate content in the way you indicate here: To do that, you'll need a more extsnive add-on such as vBSEO.

What this one does is specify that http://www.yoursite.com and http://.yoursite.com refer to the same page and it instructs search engines as to which version you prefer.

That's it. That's all.

Aha. But then this whole addon can simply be replaced by one .htaccess line.

Or by one line added to the includes template, yes. The add-on is for convenience.
