gzap Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hello everyone! We have located several problems with our Prestashop Cart 1.4.3 and hope you can give us some insights. - We have seen in our Webmaster Tools account that we have duplicated titles generated by the "order by" sort attribute in the category pages only. What is the best way to fix this? - Another problem we have seen are duplicate pages generated by our shopping cart. There is one for every single one of our products like somebody put the product in the cart or somebdoy has deleted the product from the cart, every time something happens it generates a page. For some reason those pages are there and being crawled by Google. What do you think is the best approach to solve this problem? Thanks a lot for your help!

tomerg3 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 The sortby & orderby duplicataion was addressed in PS 1.4.3 (a fix to the theme). If you are using a theme that was not based on that version, you still have the problem, and if search engines already crawled your site, the only way to fix it is to tell them that all those pages have moved (301 redirect). The following module does just that (and more) http://www.prestashop.com/forums/index.php?/topic/39736-module-duplicate-url-redirect-redirect-all-duplicate-and-non-seo-friendly-urls-to-the-default-friendly-url/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gzap Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Thanks a lot! We'll look into installing the module. Could this module also help our second duplicate content problem? The more products we are adding more duplicates we get from the cart. Ex: /carro-de-la-compra?qty=1&id_product=241&token=d9b2303d2989fafc7fb9f1c4d54b363f&add This is a spanish site and carrito de la compra stands for cart.

tomerg3 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 It currently does not, but I was thinking of adding to the module, and if you purchase it I could make it and have you test it out (before a public release) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Can you tell me a little bit more about this? How was this fix implemented? Thanks, Kenneth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Instead of having those variables available as a URL, PS now uses a form to submit the page, so search engines do not see the duplicate URLs and try to crawl them. If search engines have already crawled your site with those links, they will not stop unless you explicitly tell them (via 301 redirect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
