Canonical url events views

eVenster

Google search console tells me that every view (day/week/monthly/time) of of a single event gets picked up by google. Would be nice if you can set a canonical one

So should we automatically create a single canonical url for events?

eVenster

Yes please

Something else concerning the events module: i've send a crawler through the site (to make an xml sitemap). Took forever, so I stopt it. It finds/crawls/makes(?) thousands of extra pages from all the event/showall variations in the calender.

Is it possible to send me that 'crawler' so I can see where the issue lies? dleffler@hughes.net

It's the screaming frog

I'm thinking the fix will be to add/code a 'rel="nofollow"' to the other views links on the event views so the spider won't pick up the other views. I'll start adding a fix to the template code that builds links for the next release.

Thanks!
