markstory: probably time to chat about var $helpers = array('Html' => 'Canonical'); (class CanonicalHelper extends HtmlHelper, and then $html->meta('canonical')) |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 16:10 |
markstory |
but making a helper is a reasonable solution. |

well I think the article is fine as it, making a separate helper is a bit overkill, you can do it with HtmlHelper right now, just not as nice. |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 16:06 |
alkemann |
so get the patch in and tell the guy to rewrite the article as a tutorial? linking to the commit for people that cant wait |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 16:03 |
markstory |
right. |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 16:02 |
alkemann |
the words "just" and "to" makes a big difference in that sentence ;) |

Aug 14th 2009, 16:02 |
markstory |
which I've been doing as I find them. |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 16:02 |
markstory |
just have to document the options. |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 16:02 |
markstory |
nuh uh. |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 16:02 |
alkemann |
well yea, except this sort of api gets hidden in the Api |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 16:01 |
markstory |
yeah |

I would prefer extension of meta, it uses hardcoded array $types (rss/atom/icon/keywords/description) already |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:59 |
markstory |
but flexiblity is nice. |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:59 |
markstory |
me neither. |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:59 |
alkemann |
can think of a case where you would want to, but sure ;) |

$url can be used to override Router::url() or something. |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:58 |
markstory |
html->meta('canonical') |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:58 |
alkemann |
if u prefer |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:58 |
markstory |
or an extension of meta() |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:57 |
alkemann |
i dont see why it couldnt be a matter of echo $html->canon(); view and helper knows the current url and can ask router for the correct url |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:56 |
markstory |
alkemann: so some sort of method that makes canonical links for the current url> |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:55 |
alkemann |
because of /pages/home and / |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:55 |
alkemann |
i got this on my website's public layout : <link rel="canonical" href="http://illustrata.no<?php echo $html->url(); ?>"> |

if for no other reason than stop critics that read an article about duplciate content ;) |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:53 |
poLK |
markstory: yes, it produces (1.2) <link href="http://example.com" rel="canonical" /> |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:53 |
alkemann |
since cakephp routes creates "problems" of duplicate content, I think it could be worth while to have a more direct support for it |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:52 |
markstory |
easiest enhancement ever. |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:52 |
markstory |
poLK: if that works my job is done then :) |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:52 |
alkemann |
markstory: google supports it. what else matters ;) |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:52 |

(uses 'metalink' tag) |

Aug 14th 2009, 15:52 |
alkemann |
+t |

Aug 14th 2009, 15:52 |
poLK |
does exactly the same thing |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:52 |
alkemann |
poLK: yes. that was my though |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:52 |
poLK |
$html->meta(array('link' => 'http://example.com', 'rel' => 'canonical')) |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:51 |
ADmad |
he has given referencs for google and bing |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:51 |
markstory |
I thought I remembered support being spotty. |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:50 |
markstory |
is canonical even being supported? |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:50 |
markstory |
where is the patch? |
| # |
Aug 14th 2009, 15:49 |
ADmad |
this is what he says at the end "Hopefully the CakePHP development team will include canonical support in the next version of HtmlHelper under the $html->meta() method" |
| # |

alkemann: I think it is work for existing HtmlHelper::$tags 'metalink' => '<link href="%s"%s/>' |
