Rel=Canonical Header Location

[OTSEO]

Hello,

I've been trying to get our rel=canonical issues sorted out. A fellow named Ayaz very kindly pointed out that I'm trying to put the code into the wysisyg editor, but this might not be the best place to put the code.

We are using Drupal 6. Where do I insert the code?

head>

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/blog/my-awesome-blog-post">

Thanks!

As far as my knowledge goes, in any and every CMS system and language Rel canonical is best to put under the head tag so i guess you are going fine!

yeah I agree with Moosa, rel canonical goes in header.

Hi Moosa and Vikas,

Thanks so much for the replies. When I go to the blog page there are several fields that can be filled out. It's a basic Drupal content page. I'm not sure which area to put the header information in? It sounds like it doesn't go in the cms editor, but the other areas don't say HEADER or anything obvious like that.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Are you using Nodewords? http://drupal.org/project/nodewords

The canonical tag should appear just below the regular node where you add meta description etc.  This will put it in as it is supposed to be.  You can also integrate it with tokens so that it grabs the absolute URL.

Hi Mike,

That's really helpful. Right now we are using "Metatags" so I'll see if we can import that module. I'll have to see if they conflict or not, but you might have solved the problem. Your suggestion is really appreciated - thanks!
