#575 – Presales question: Problem with k2 router

 Hi,

im using K2. And the router.php of the newest version (even the older one) is creating weird url structures (here you can find the post in the k2 forum: https://www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/54537-same-tag-view-with-different-urls-available)

The K2 router is creating following urls with the same items:

kauf-auf-rechnung24.com/shops/blumen/kategorie/39-buero.html
kauf-auf-rechnung24.com/shops/kinder/kategorie/39-buero.html

These urls are available (not 404) and creating DC for the bots


And this is just a example. In the com_redirect component i have thousands of weird urls created by K2.

Can the Route 66 Pro handle these kind of problems?

Edit: Follwoing url are creating the DC (same items shwon with differnt url combination)

kauf-auf-rechnung24.com/mode/itemlist/category/39-buero.html
kauf-auf-rechnung24.com/schuhe/itemlist/category/39-buero.html
kauf-auf-rechnung24.com/technik/itemlist/category/39-buero.html

Hi Ayhan,

You don't need the PRO version if you don't want to change K2 URLs (or use the SEO content analysis). Just install the free version and make sure that redirects are enabled under Route 66 options. Route 66 will redirect automatically all URLs to their canonical.
Please let me know about this.

Regards

Hi Lefteris,

i would buy the Pro version anyway, because of seo aspects.

Did i get you right, the canonical url of the 3 urls from above ist buero.html. Would Route 66 redirect them automatically to that url?

Regards,
Ayhan

Yes. As I wrote before, you can start with the free version. You can upgrade any time to the PRO version by installing the PRO package over the free.

Regards

Thx, just for this support i would pay the 20 bucks! Ill close the ticket and if ive problems with the Pro, ill open a new ticket.
