Opencart category urls

[ankali]

Hi,

I have a problem with the category urls in Opencart. I have duplicate page content because of this:

www.mydomain.com/category

and

www.mydomain.com/category?page=1

are with same content.

There is also a very new problem, there are new urls - autogenerated like this.

www.mydomain.com/category/category?page1

These three urls are with same content and title.

I tried with 301 redirect like this:

RewriteRule ^category/category?page1$ www.mydomain.com/category [L,R=301]

but it doesnt work. Pls help me.

You want to implement canonicals in opencart. So all url variations will canonical to what the sole url should be.

http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=4225

You will also need to determine how to handle pagination when looking at canonicals. Either rel=next rel=prev or canonical to a view all if present. Google webmaster video on this:

I dont understand from the video where should I do rel="next", which file?

pagination.php or other file?
