SEO trick (for developers)

S

For example, news. Just example, no explanations

Example:

// class.newsconttroller.php // file

// public function Index($Code) {
	if (is_numeric($Code)) {
		$this->View($Code);
	}
	// elseif(... other check for news category url code, etc.
}

...
// public function View() { // method
...
// trick
$NewsModel = Gdn_NewsModel();
$Story = $NewsModel->GetID($NewsID);
...
$NewsStoryURL = 'news/'.$Story->NewsID.'/'.Gdn_Format::Url($News->Title); // or you can use Clean() method
$CanonicalUrl = $this->CanonicalUrl(Url($NewsStoryURL, True));
if ($NewsStoryURL != $this->SelfUrl) Redirect($CanonicalUrl, 301);
...

@S Thanks!
We can provide any original contents to bind url in this way within Garden framework, right?
I'll try it out later.

@yu_tang : I would love to learn what you mean with that. Do you have an example?

He's forcing the page to 301 redirect to the canonical URL rather than allowing it to remain at a non-canonical URL. By default, Vanilla doesn't care what the title part of the URL is. @S's example forces it to fix itself.

Oops, I have misunderstood.
Thanks @Lincoln!
I posted, sleeped and woke up. Now I'm back in here and read this before to start coding.
It's my lucky day.
