Hello.
I wanted to put on my website a page with all the products ordered from the most sold to the least. I thought it would be a good idea just to use a link like this one: http://www.prodotti-herblife-vendita-online.it/orderDesc/by,product_sales
The fact is, this page has a <link href="/" rel="canonical"/>, which means that crawlers read it as equivalent to the homepage. Also breadcrumbs show me that I'm in homepage, and I don't want to.
The problem is that Google also sees pages like "/orderDesc/by,product_sales/results,1-12", "/orderDesc/by,product_sales/results,1-6", "/orderDesc/by,product_sales/results,1-3" which are automatically created with a rel="canonical" attribute to the homepage.
How could I solve this problem?
Shall I put all the products in a single category called "All products", but then, how can I make "number of sales" the default order (without changing that of the other categories)
Otherwise, what shall I do?
Thank you very much in advance, hope someone could help me.
Have a nice day!
Anyone could help me please?
check what is happening in components/com_virtuemart/views/category/view.html.php
public function setCanonicalLink($tpl,$document,$categoryId,$manId){
// Set Canonic link
if (!empty($tpl)) {
$format = $tpl;
} else {
$format = JRequest::getWord('format', 'html');
}
if ($format == 'html') {
$link = 'index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category';
if($categoryId!==-1){
$link .= '&virtuemart_category_id='.$categoryId;
}
if($manId!==-1){
$link .= '&virtuemart_manufacturer_id='.$manId;
}
$document->addHeadLink( JRoute::_($link, FALSE) , 'canonical', 'rel', '' );
}
}
perhaps add another 'if' for special page
Hmmm I don't really know where to put my hands in that file :(
Quotecomponents/com_virtuemart/views/category/view.html.php
I meant, what should I look for/edit in that file? Thank you!
add another elseif - detect a variable from that page url and write the url you need/want
but without the non sef url can't help more
