Thanks for this blog, it sent me on the track to find a solution to implement a canonical tag in Joomla. I found one more solution that worked for my needs I wanted to share it here with you and others who might find it useful.My problem was I had url:s like http://www.mysite.com/page1.htm?var1=one and wanted a canonical tag saying http://www.mysite.com/page1.htm that was automatically generated for each page.In my template file right after: <?php defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');I added: $canonical = JURI::current();And then further down in the template just before the tag, I added: <link rel="canonical" href="">Worked like a charm for me. Not sure if it will work in all other cases but give it a try.All the best, Markus Hi Matt!
Thanks for this blog, it sent me on the track to find a solution to implement a canonical tag in Joomla. I found one more solution that worked for my needs I wanted to share it here with you and others who might find it useful.

My problem was I had url:s like http://www.mysite.com/page1.htm?var1=one and wanted a canonical tag saying http://www.mysite.com/page1.htm that was automatically generated for each page.

In my template file right after:
<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');

I added:
$canonical = JURI::current();

And then further down in the template just before the tag, I added:
<link rel="canonical" href="”>

Worked like a charm for me. Not sure if it will work in all other cases but give it a try.

All the best,
Markus
