Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted April 1Apr 1 Hello. When the database records are listed the link include a query arguments like ?&do=getNewComment&d=7&id=24932is there a way to remove this so all the database records will use only the canonical urls in listing templates?Thank you.
April 1Apr 1 You would have to customize the templates for the databases or blocks and turn (for example) {$row->url( "getPrefComment" )} into {$row->url()}. But what is the goal? Don’t you want to jump to recent content? Or do you dislike the link structure for some reason?
April 1Apr 1 Author For SEO I think it is better to stick to the canonical urls for internal linking though I am sure eventually googlebot will figure it out.For the article pages, I think it does not make sense to jump to the recent content.Can that template be edited directly? I think for v5 that is not possible.
April 1Apr 1 For SEO That shouldn’t matter. The search engine will just follow the link and find all the data it needs about canonical URLs at the target. Can that template be edited directly? I think for v5 that is not possible.Theme templates can’t be edited. Pages templates can still be edited.
