Duplicate Pages + Breadcrumb

Duplicate Pages + Breadcrumb

Postby Chris » Sat Apr 10, 2010 4:59 pm

Even if an ASIN belongs to 'n' number of nodes, It should be only one Product page.

example: from demo.affiliatenichescipt.com, below are the example here with same product listed under 3 different categories:

http://demo.affiliatenichescript.com/p/Books/0679725164/detail/No-Exit-and-Three-Other-Plays.php
http://demo.affiliatenichescript.com/p/Fiction/0679725164/detail/No-Exit-and-Three-Other-Plays.php
http://demo.affiliatenichescript.com/p/Drama/0679725164/detail/No-Exit-and-Three-Other-Plays.php

The above pages included the category to which it belongs and resulting in duplicate pages. To avoid these duplicate pages, in the '/admin/settings-seo.php' page, i have selected Category to 'None' and able to 'GET RID OF DUPLICATE PAGES'.

Now the problem is because the Category is Set to 'None' in the the '/admin/settings-seo.php' page, the Breadcrumb navigation above the center column is not showing the category when viewing the product page. When viewing the product, the Breadcrumb is simply showing only 'Location: Home' not showing subsequent categories. It should show the category from where i selected the product to view.

Hi,

I see exactly what you are saying and it is an issue but I don't think it can be easily resolved. When you visit a product page without the category in the url, the script simply doesn't know what category it is part of as Amazon do not return the Node Id with products. Because of this I have no way of mapping the ASIN to a category which is configured on your site unless it is specified in the url.

I have placed 'none' for category name in admin/settings-seo.php
but then, the category name is being displayed at the end of the url instead of the beginning.

So, what is there any method to avoid duplicate pages ?
Even if the breadcrumb doesn't work, can we avoid the duplicate pages
or is there any other method to not show category name in the product links ?

Hello, hopefully this is resolved for you now in the paid version?
