Fixing issues with indexing

[andipas]

A possible cause of pages' missing in the index is canonical links. They are used in the product to prevent pages with duplicate content from indexing.

Let's try to remove them from the home page and from pages of listings' viewing.

Change in the /protected/controllers/SiteController.php file the code:

Code: Select all


$canonicalUrl = Yii::app()->getBaseUrl(true);
if(!isFree()){
    $canonicalUrl .= '/'.Yii::app()->language;
}
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerLinkTag('canonical', null, $canonicalUrl);
$this->alreadyTagCanonical = true;
  

for

Code: Select all

if(!isFree() && !isset($_GET['lang'])){
    $canonicalUrl = Yii::app()->getBaseUrl(true);

    $canonicalUrl .= '/'.Yii::app()->language;
    Yii::app()->clientScript->registerLinkTag('canonical', null, $canonicalUrl);
}
  

So we will have as a result:

Code: Select all

public function actionIndex() {
    //$dependency = new CDbCacheDependency('SELECT date_updated FROM {{menu}} WHERE id = "1"');
    $page = Menu::model()->/* cache(param('cachingTime', 1209600), $dependency)-> */findByPk(1);


    if(!isFree() && !isset($_GET['lang'])){
        $canonicalUrl = Yii::app()->getBaseUrl(true);

        $canonicalUrl .= '/'.Yii::app()->language;
        Yii::app()->clientScript->registerLinkTag('canonical', null, $canonicalUrl);
    }

    if (isset($_POST['is_ajax'])) {
        $this->renderPartial('index', array('page' => $page), false, true);
    } else {
        $this->render('index', array('page' => $page));
    }
}  

Remove in the /protected/modules/apartments/controllers/MainController.php file
the code:

Code: Select all


Yii::app()->clientScript->registerLinkTag('canonical', null, $apartment->getUrl());
$this->alreadyTagCanonical = true;
  

Remove in the /protected/modules/menumanager/controllers/MainController.php
the code:

Code: Select all


Yii::app()->clientScript->registerLinkTag('canonical', null, $model->getUrl());
$this->alreadyTagCanonical = true;
  

Remove in the /protected/components/Controller.php
the code:

Code: Select all


public $alreadyTagCanonical = false;
  

Remove in the /protected/modules/apartments/helpers/apartmentsHelper.php
the code:

Code: Select all


        if(Yii::app()->getRequest('sort') || Yii::app()->getRequest('page')){
            if (!Yii::app()->controller->alreadyTagCanonical) {
                $href = Yii::app()->getBaseUrl(true).'/'.Yii::app()->request->getPathInfo();
                Yii::app()->clientScript->registerLinkTag('canonical', null, $href);
                unset($href);
            }
        }
  

Add the following code in the 'public function actionIndex' method and in the 'public function actionMainsearch' method of the /protected/modules/quicksearch/controllers/MainController.php file:

Code: Select all


        $href = Yii::app()->getBaseUrl(true).'/'.Yii::app()->request->getPathInfo();
        Yii::app()->clientScript->registerLinkTag('canonical', null, $href);
        unset($href);

Fixes for a free ORE, version 1.3.3:

Remove in the protected\modules\apartments\helpers\apartmentsHelper.php file
the code:

Code: Select all

if(Yii::app()->getRequest('sort') || Yii::app()->getRequest('page')){
    $href = Yii::app()->getBaseUrl(true).'/'.Yii::app()->request->getPathInfo();
    Yii::app()->clientScript->registerLinkTag('canonical', null, $href);
    unset($href);
}  

In the protected\modules\quicksearch\controllers\MainController.php file
add in the beginning of the actionIndex() method (before $criteria = new CDbCriteria;) and in the beginning of actionMainsearch() method (before $criteria = new CDbCriteria;)
the code:

Code: Select all

$href = Yii::app()->getBaseUrl(true).'/'.Yii::app()->request->getPathInfo();
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerLinkTag('canonical', null, $href);
unset($href);  

Fixes for a paid ORE, version 1.3.3:
Besides the mentioned above actions (fixes for a free version) you should add in the actionIndex() method of the protected\controllers\SiteController.php file the code:

Code: Select all

if(!isset($_GET['lang'])){
    $canonicalUrl = Yii::app()->getBaseUrl(true);

    $canonicalUrl .= '/'.Yii::app()->language;
    Yii::app()->clientScript->registerLinkTag('canonical', null, $canonicalUrl);
    unset($canonicalUrl);
}  

So you will get as a result the following:

Code: Select all

public function actionIndex() {
    //$dependency = new CDbCacheDependency('SELECT date_updated FROM {{menu}} WHERE id = "1"');
    $page = Menu::model()->/* cache(param('cachingTime', 1209600), $dependency)-> */findByPk(1);

    if(!isset($_GET['lang'])){
        $canonicalUrl = Yii::app()->getBaseUrl(true);

        $canonicalUrl .= '/'.Yii::app()->language;
        Yii::app()->clientScript->registerLinkTag('canonical', null, $canonicalUrl);
        unset($canonicalUrl);
    }
    
    if (isset($_POST['is_ajax'])) {
        $this->renderPartial('index', array('page' => $page), false, true);
    } else {
        $this->render('index', array('page' => $page));
    }
}
