Canonical tags in osclass

[codemode]

Hello,
I would like to know how osc_get_canonical() works in osclass. I just bought mcfly theme, and it generates a canonical tag on every page irrespective if that page is a duplicate or not... even the index page.

The theme developer says this is good practice, but as far as i know, canonical tags should be displayed only on pages which tell web spiders about an exact replica of another page.

Besides, other themes that i have been checking does not generate such tags for every page either.
Can someone clarify please?

Osclass canonical url code is not working and creating canonical url within all page's header section...

I have also same problem. No canonical urls for web pages

Osclass team need to clarify this situation

It seems that having a canonical tag in every page is not a bad practise, and i've seen an article where Matt cutts has said it's ok.
The osc_get_canonical() though does not work as it should... probably it's one of those things that osclass has just left hanging.

Hello,

Maybe this solution to make canonical tags work

check the head.php

Code: [Select]

<?php if( osc_get_canonical() != '' ) { ?>
  <link rel="canonical" href="<?php echo osc_get_canonical(); ?>"/>
<?php } ?>
Replace

Code: [Select]

<link rel="canonical" href="<?php echo 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>"/>

There are a few things from Madhouse, but their items seem to have been removed from the Market. Do you have a way of contacting them? Some of their items were released for free according to their blog, but I can't seem to find an available download link.

Any help?
