Hello
after update to latest version of easyblog , canonical link is missing in category source code
missing link :
<link href="http://www.apple-nic.com/top/blog/categories.html&Itemid=584" rel="canonical" />
584 is Specified Menu Id
and for example currect menu is :
http://www.apple-nic.com/top/apple-news.html
or
http://www.apple-nic.com/top/mac-software.html

but for all of easyblog category page soure load same canonical
my category link have very good rank in google and this bug will damage my page value in google very soon

this report is second seo report by me and i want to ask your developer team to act better on the component seo strategy

Thank you
Hey ebi,

It seems like you provided that FTP access is incorrect password, this is what I hitting now :
Response:	530 Login authentication failed
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server


By the way, can you try download my attached file and replace into following file location and see how it goes?
JoomlaFolder\components\com_easyblog\views\categories\view.html.php
JoomlaFolder\components\com_easyblog\views\views.php

Hello
now it is ok and show easyblog category canonical currectly
but that was better if when i link a menu to category it's better in page source canonical link = menu address instead of easyblog category address.

for example for every category in easy blog i have created a menu with a specified alias that this alias has lots of hits in google. and i want the canonical link of the menu in my page source be the menu alias not the category

for now i had to redirect all my categories address to my menu alias manually

same i am using Specified Menu Id

Hey Ebi,

If you have created a "Single Category Layout" menu item for the category, it should be used as the canonical url. I will check on this and add it into our issue tracker.
