CATEGORY_CANONICAL not updating correctly

I've added a new url path into the category canonical however it still seems to have /product/listing" inside the canonical tag.

Is there any other way to resolve this?

I'm trying to update the field "CATEGORY_CANONICAL" on the category I've got setup.

The URL via the menu is www.mydomain.com/categoryname but the canonical on that page is www.mydomain.com/categoryname/product/listing .

After entering the same URL as the menu, saving the page and clearing Joomla's cache the category canonical is still www.mydomain.com/categoryname/product/listing .

Hi Nicolas.

Sorry for not being more clear on this. The edit category page still has the Canonical I've entered in "CATEGORY_CANONICAL" (so it's saving correctly if I go in and out of the category). The front end of the website just has www.mydomain/com/categoryname/product/listing as the canonical.

The screenshot is viewable here

The page I'm working is http://www.cartronix.co.uk/repair-services/speedometer-repair were if you check the source code you'll see the canonical goes to www.cartronix.co.uk/repair-services/spee...pair/product/listing

Version HikaShop [1312231536]

Hi,

You version is not up to date, this one is from december 2013 so many things have been improved regarding the canonical urls.
Thanks to update your version and see if the problem is solved.

ps: don't forget to do a backup before anything

Hi.

I've done the update on the site. I've resaved the category and still the same.

The canonical is still <link href=" www.cartronix.co.uk/repair-services/spee...pair/product/listing " rel="canonical" />
and should be www.cartronix.co.uk/repair-services/speedometer-repair

Hi,

Thanks to provide a backend access via private message, don't forget to give us the url of that topic.

Hi Xavier.

Details sent.

Hi.

We don't have a plugin which creates Canonical and we're using the gantry framework for the template.

I've found the problem which is the Joomla Sef Plugin with the code
" if ($uri !== $link)
{
$doc->addHeadLink(htmlspecialchars($link), 'canonical');
}
"

Is there anything to add to force this not to run on Hikashop pages?

For anything else having this issue. I've added to sef.php on line 53
" if ($uri !== $link)
{
if (JRequest::getVar('option')!=='com_hikashop'){
$doc->addHeadLink(htmlspecialchars($link), 'canonical');
}
}"
So this will stop the canonical showing on Hikashop pages.
