rss.xml shows an rss feed which includes rss.php links

My rss.xml feed has the link for rss.php in it. I would think we would want to eliminate this kind of duplication??

All the source links in the feed show rss.php.

Is there a place to change this in the file?

So far, the redirecting only occurs when the cache is not up to date.

It's not as powerful as the phpBB zero duplicate mod but still, should redirect enough for bots to find out which one it the correct url to use.

Besides, I don't think you'd end up with a Pagerank on your sitemaps or rss feeds, so it's not as important as when it comes to html.

Okay, I was just asking in the interest of making sure as much as possible that the majority of duplicate content is off of the site.

My main issue, is that in the past I've used rss.php links and I wanted to switch to rss.xml but it doesn't self direct.

I've excluded rss.php in robots.txt for now, anyhow but I know that's not the best fix.

If you really want to, you can add some zero dupe filter in rss.php, something like :

Code: Select all: $uri = $phpbb_seo->seo_req_uri(); $phpbb_seo->seo_cond(!$userdata['session_logged_in'] && (strpos($uri, "sid=" ) !== FALSE )); $phpbb_seo->seo_cond( empty($cat) && empty($msgtxt) && empty($short) && empty($long) && $action == 'rss' && empty($list_id) , TRUE); if ( $phpbb_seo->do_redir && strpos($uri, "rss.$phpEx") !== FALSE ) { $phpbb_seo->seo_redirect($paths['phpbb_url'] . "rss.xml"); }

Before :

Code: Select all: // Deal with forum auth $not_auth_ary = array();

And assuming you have installed the zero duplicate
