there is a way to put canonical only for homepage?
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.site.com/"/>
Re: Canonical
Sure. Chameleon can add HTML code into the HEAD of the page using the Succeed/Fail actions. All you need to do is to be able to identify the front page of your site. There are several ways you could do this:
1 - by menu item for the front page of your site. The only problem with this is that sometimes there are other pages linked to the same Itemid, e.g. article pages linked to a "featured articles" page. But if your front page is an article then this should work fine.
2 - by URL. Detect URL "equals http://www.site.com/"
There are some other ways too but probably one of these will work best for you.
In the Succeed action, set "HTML head include type 1" to "Raw HTML for header", then add the following in the "HTML head include 1" box:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.site.com/"/>
Hope that helps,
Stephen
Re: Canonical
Hi itaym,
there are 2 reasons why it may not be working:
1 - if you are using the system cache plugin, then clear all your page caches before trying again
2 - if it's not that, then turn on Chameleon's Debug mode. It's in the Options panel from the rule chain page or Config page. Then view the front page on your site and see what the debug output says. It reports on which conditions are being tested in each Chameleon rule, and what the result is. You may find that the condition is not quite set up right and that it's not detecting the front page properly. e.g. if you are detecting the URL for the front page you need to set the dropdown for URL to "=" and enter the correct URL including http, e.g. http://www.example.com/
That should help to isolate the issue.

Hello
It doesn't work ...
this is the debug. nothing about the canonical rule with ID5 ...

Stopped processing as result of SUCCEED action at rule id 4 ("Sitelinks Search Box")

Re: Canonical
Hi,
it looks like the Succeed action for Rule id 4 probably is set to "Stop processing", so it's not getting to the next rule at all.
Try setting "next action" to "Process next rule in chain" in rule id 4 and that should work :-)
Best regards,
Stephen
Re: Canonical
I changed but it doesn't work.
Ican't see canonical tag in source.

Re: Canonical
Hi itaym,
I don't have any other suggestions, so I think it would be more useful if I can log in to your site to take a look. I'll send you a PM about it.
Cheers,
Stephen
