Canonical Tag in Blogs

Hi Everyone,
We are looking to set up the canonical tag (rel="canonical") in the business catalyst blog. However, if we put the tag in the blog post it does not get picked up. We then tried to put it in the blog layout or blog detail using the {tag_itemurl_withhost}. This works in BC but does not give the correct url and instead goes to http://www.symphony3.com/BlogRetrieve.aspx?BlogName=Online_Business_Strategy_And_Digital_M arketing&PostName=The_Convergence_of_Advertising_and_Social_Media
I do not believe this is ideal.
How do we implement the canonical tag dynamically in BC using one of the BC tags.
Thanks.

Google hate the missunderstanding of their own missinformation, it is why they setup the google channel answering questions.
http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/duplicate-content-question/
Google does not “penalise” duplicate content - it will just show one page over another. If there are 3 pages of duplicate content on your website it generally will only show 1 result on a Google results page, (unless the search is incredibly longtail and specific – but of course we now get the “omitted results” link displayed). Google just shows the content that it feels is most relevant to the users search. New algorithms take into account things like content age (so original content is more likely to rank higher). (Greg gives the best explanation, not Matt)

You will have a proudct that is in multiple catalogs and thus multiple urls. If Google treated those as duplicant content then thats bad. You can also find out information via Google blog more on the language and same IP information as well. AS you can see above the language thing is very similar and you wont get punished in that regard.
This is why cononical exists, it is not a directive and not as good as a 301 redirect, a 301 has some bleed off but is minute, cononical has knowledge of any of that relevence. All it is is for google to tell them which is your prefered URL.
And as I mentioned they can choose to ignore it.
Is rel="canonical" a suggestion or a directive?
This new option lets site owners suggest the version of a page that Google should treat as canonical. Google will take this into account, in conjunction with other signals, when determining which URL sets contain identical content, and calculating the most relevant of these pages to display in search results.

Missinterpretation of the google information happens a lot. So its great Matt spends a lot of time correcting this and more of the team now take active part in this as well now and their youtube channel is feature rich of the right information.

RSS feeds and tags for blog series?

Hi,
We are trying to establish a blog series for news regarding our small OS/DB platform (DB4). Granularity of Categories regarding SDN blogs is far too low to shrink the contents suitably for our target group by using RSS feeds for a Category. And I suppose there is no way to create a dedicated category for the small amount of contributions to expect.
So, the current approach is to tell people to subscribe to the RSS feed pointing to my personal account. This is only a bad workaround. I'd prefer tagging the blog series with a specific keyword so other members of our group could contribute to the series, and blog contributions to other topics by me could be filtered out.
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
My suggestion would be to use the SCN wiki
Each space has its own rss feed. I believe there is also a new way to work with specific wiki pages and labels.
I recommend you reach out to Moshe Naveh from my team and he'll assist.

Adding tag to blog entries

Hi,
I'd like to be able to add tag to blog entries when submitting through a workflow, the purpose is to authorize typing them as additional userRequirments ou hardcoded ones in the workflow (podcast formats, sizes,...)but i can't find in "man pcastaction" how to do this..
Do anyone has an idea how to do this ?
Thanks in advance,
Julien

I suspect that blogging may be low on the priority
scale for Apple. Otherwise they would have enabled
.Mac to be usable for this without resort to things
like Haloscan ages ago. Most effort will probably be
devoted to further enhancing the ability to share
music, photos, and movies. Though I could be
wrong....
Essentially, I agree with you, but they sure are trying to give the impression otherwise with iLife '06's tagline, "Music. Photos. Movies. Blogs." But I wouldn't expect them to even think about updating anything until "iLife '07" and who know what blogging will look like then (the only app Apple seems to update regularly is iTunes because it makes them the most money). I really like iWeb and the version 1.0 is a good offering. But where it's lacking, it's REALLY lacking. And Apple is too slow with the updates.
Consider how surprisingly little was updated in iWork '06 from the previous version, in spite of a long list of feature requests, especially for Pages.
Who knows? Maybe I should suggest that the RapidWeaver developers merely add the drag and drop functionality of iWeb to their product. We might have better luck with that.

Is it necessay to add a canonical tag to tablet and mobile versions of a Muse site?

Is it necessay to add a canonical tag to tablet and mobile versions of a Muse site?

I know that they don't actually touch anything on the site. However when you create a tablet version of your site, they "take care" of the redirection to the tablet version. So I am wondering if a search engine views the tablet version as duplicate content when everything is nearly the same... or does muse put something in the code that would let robots know this like a canonical tag?

Jsp tag for blog attribute in a flex asset

hi Experts,
I am using FW7.6.1, I have a flex asset with a blob attribute, when I create that flex asset, I can upload an image in that attribute, but I did not find a jsp tag for rendering that attribute which has a image saved, another question is what jsp tag should be used in case of a word file is uploaded in that attribute, that's to say:
1. for a image, I want to display it in browser.
2. for a word file, I want to show popup window to ask user if he wants to download or open.
By using assetset:getattributevalues and render:stream, it's just for string type of attribute, not for blog.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

hi all,
I got the answer from dev guide, seems should use:
<blobservice:gettablename varname="uTabname"/>
<blobservice:getidcolumn varname="idColumn"/>
<blobservice:geturlcolumn varname="uColumn"/>
and render:satelliteblob
some complicated then I expected.
Best regards

How to customize / edit wiki theme in content_entry.xsl file to display tags for blog pages and not wiki pages?

I am trying to customize a wiki theme by displaying the "Edited Today at… by…" for only blog pages and not wiki pages.
I tried editing the content_entry.xsl with an xsl if tag, but failed.
<xsl:if test="context/link='/groups/groupname/weblog/'">
<div id="entry_date" class="entry_date">
    <a href="{../contentEntry/historyURL}" id="history_link" title="{../../jsstrings/tooltips_history_link}" onclick="return false"><xsl:value-of select="../../strings/History"/></a>
    <span id="history_time_author"><xsl:value-of select="historyTimeAuthor" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></span>
</div>
</xsl:if>
What is the correct <xsl:if test=""> tag, that would execute this?
For <xsl:if test="context/"> I believe the content after "context/" are variables like link, baseHREF, contentEntry. What are other variables I can use?

I also tried it this way, but does not seem to work.
<xsl:if test="context/link='/groups/groupname/weblog/'">
        <xsl:template match="context/entryMeta">
            <div class="metadata" id="entry_metadata">
                <div class="start startmetadata"><span></span></div>
                    <div class="contents contentsmetadata">

Any 3rd party solutions for subject tags in blogs?

I really like iWeb, but I don't care for the fact that now after three versions, the blog entries still do not have the ability to add subject tags. I'm not talking about meta tags here, just a subject classification that is standard to most other blogging platforms.
So I wonder if there are any third party solutions for doing this since I've heard that iWeb is getting a lot of third party support now?
Thanks

I think we're talking about two separate things. It's standard for blog posts to have "tags" which are links that a reader can click on to see other posts based around this same subject.
If I understand what the iWeb SEO tool is doing, it is creating tags for better search engine optimization. I didn't see any indication that subject tags could be added to each individual blog entry and that clicking on them would bring up a list of other posts on the same subjects.

IWeb pages, blog pages, tags and html snippets

I use Rage seo tool and Bluehost
Can I add tags to blog pages to support seo?
Now that Google bots look for "structured data" in pages, can I add an html snippet to pages containing something like:
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">
   <span itemprop="name">Noosa Therapy Studio, Doonan</span>
   Located at
   <div itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress">
      <span itemprop="streetAddress">92 Marnie Cres</span>,
      <span itemprop="addressLocality">Doonan</span>,
      <span itemprop="addressRegion">Noosa</span>.
   </div>
<img itemprop="logo" src="http://www.noosatherapy.com/Logo.png" />
   Phone: <span itemprop="telephone">(07) 5471 1752</span>
   <a href="http://noosatherapy.com/Therapies" itemprop="url">http://noosatherapy.com/Therapies</a>
</div>
Or am I on the wrong track?
Thanks

The code you provided is not meta code. You don't paste in the head of the webpage.
Well, you can paste it there and the browser will render it.
It's code that should be in the body of a webpage.
And if you paste it there, make sure the info is correct.
This :
<a href="http://noosatherapy.com/Therapies" itemprop="url">http://noosatherapy.com/Therapies</a>
should be :
<a href="http://noosatherapy.com/Therapies.html" itemprop="url">http://noosatherapy.com/Therapies.html</a>
And I wonder if SEO is so good.
If I search for Noosa Therapy Studio Doonan
http://www.google.com/search?q=Noosa+Therapy+Studio+Doonan
I do find your post in this forum. And also your Google+ page. But no pages from you website.
But if I search with :
http://www.google.nl/search?q=Noosa+Therapy+Studio+Doonan
I find two events from May last year :
Noosa Therapy Studio Events
Noosa Therapy Studio, Doonan opens for business
Note that .nl is from the other side of the globe.
No wonder I wasn't at the event.
Also note that I used the words from your webpage: Noosa Therapy Studio Doonan
It means I know about you. Because you advertised your business in the forum.
Also, if I want to find one who does The Therapy in Doonan Queensland, I still do not find you :
http://www.google.com/search?q=Noosa+Therapy+Doonan+Qld
Perhaps your business name and domainname is not very unique. With 72,700 hits it looks like everybody is doing it in your area.

I can't find blog tags etc in my business catalyst?

Hey all,
after watching the advanced content management system video (muse + BC)
I decided I would use it for a blog. However, in my BC account no options for my muse websites are shown for this.
No tags, modules, blog content etc.
I must be going wrong somewhere?
Thanks all,
Dean

Are you a BC partner? If so you can view the website subscription level information in your partner portal. Or did you have a web developer create the site for you? If so I would contact them about your issue.
Not really sure about DW. It seems like you are working under a limited user account. If you had total admin control you should see a left menu like below.
So I assuming since you don't have 100% admin access that means you will not see all the modules and features from BC in the DW panel.

How to include javascript resources in Facelet tag library

I've been trying out Duncans watermark behavior tag (https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/placeholder_watermarks_with_adf_11). Indeed a great article and the example work perfectly when the tag library is included within the project and when the javascript resource (common.js) file is added to the document using af:resource tag.
I would like to create a deployable tag library, including a setWatermarkBehavior tag, for reuse in various apps. I'm able to create and deploy the tag library as a ADF library and include it for use in an application. But on runtime, the pages are not able to find the "addWatermarkBehavior" method, which I hoped automatically got loaded from the javascript file defined in the tag library jar. In the tag library file, I've added a "adf-js-features.xml" in META-INF. This file and the .js file is included in the ADF library jar. "adf-js-features.xml" looks like this:
<adf-js-features xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/feature">
<features xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/feature">
<feature>
<feature-name>adfExtTaglib</feature-name>
<feature-class>com/cgi/adf/ext/taglib/js/adfExtTaglib.js</feature-class>
</feature>
</features>
</adf-js-features>
I'm not sure, what value should be used for "feature-name" - I've tried many different "meaningful" names. I presume, that the ADF framework, should automatically discover all "adf-js-features" files and automatically load js-file on pages, which are using tags from the particular tag library. But apparently I'm missing something. In the facelets page used for testing, I have these few components.
<f:view xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich"
xmlns:adfext="http://xmlns.cgi.com/adf/ext">
<af:document title="testAdfExtTaglib" id="d1">

<af:form id="f1">
<af:inputText label="Label 1" id="it1">
<adfext:setWatermarkBehavior value="CHR-Nr"/>
</af:inputText>
</af:form>
</af:document>
</f:view>
Doing some debugging, I can confirm that the "getScript" method of the setWatermarkBehavior class is called. I can also find the javascript produced by the "getScript" method in the DOM. But I cannot find anywhere in the DOM, where the javascript file from the tag library is loaded.
Please, help me out?

The Javascript source URI has the value "RES_NOT_FOUND".
If I try to access it using ".../faces/javax.faces.resource/javascript.js?ln=js" I get a blank page (contains a Html and Body only).
If I try to access it using ".../faces/resources/js/javascript.js" I can download the javascript file from the taglib.
If I manually copy the javascript.js file from the taglib into the enclosing project and save it in "resource/js", then the javascript source URI is resolved correctly to ".../faces/javax.faces.resource/javascript.js?ln=js" and I can downloaded it, but then it is the local copy and not the one from the taglib jar.
Do I need some specific configuration in web.xml or other deployment descriptors, to be able to use "javax.faces.resource"?
The only configurations whoch smells like "javax.faces.resource" is this context param: javax.faces.FACELETS_RESOURCE_RESOLVER=oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.facelets.rich.AdfFaceletsResourceResolver
In web.xml various "resource" servlets is defined (I'm not sure whether I need them, JDeveloper has created them automatically):
a) resources = org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.webapp.ResourceServlet, maps to: /adf/*, /afr/*, /bi/*
b) adflibResources = oracle.adf.library.webapp.ResourceServlet, maps to: /adflib/*
I appreciate your help.

Disabling the xml feed as a canonical workaround

Hi I have a question and wondered if anyone can advise.
I am working on a jewellery site with 150ish products and multiple catalogs - 4 main ones (necklaces, earrings, bracelets & rings) and then many less important ones (beaded necklace, stretch bracelet etc)
Each product resides in many catalogs (eg 'Necklace A' can be found in catalog 'necklace' and 'beaded necklace' and 'sale jewellery). I want the main catalogs and subsequent products in these catalogs (eg necklace) to be the ones that google use (to avoid duplocate content etc).
I would have liked to use a Canonical tag but dont think BC supports these. My workaround was to disable the xml feed of all the 'less important' catalogs so that google only sees the 4 main catalogs.
Is this a good idea? Does anyone have any other suggestions? etc
Suggestions will be warmly recieved.
Thanks

<cffeed>.
For example, run the following
<cffeed action="read"
query="rssQuery"
source="

Can't import mxf-files (Canon XF100) into FCP 10.0.8 after Mavericks

Hello
It's not possible for me, to import mxf-files into FCP.
I haven't yoused FCP for a couple of days, but today I could not import files from my Canon XF100, so i think the problems came with Mavericks??
Does any of you have same problems?
What to do?
Kind regards
Thomas (Denmark)

Hi Russ -
I downloaded the utility and driver from here:
http://www.learn.usa.canon.com/resources/blogs/2012/20120223_xf_utilities_and_pl ugin_updates.shtml
But after looking around realized it isn't updated for Mavericks yet. I was only given two files and both weren't in any sort of directory structure- here is a screenshot.
Thanks in advance for your help!

How to make Canon specific EXIF metadata visible in LR?

Hi
I love LR but it excludes some fields of EXIF metadata that are provided by Canon's propietary raw converter. I am sure that there must be a way to make these visible inside LR so one can filter and create smart collections based on these metadata.
What is the best way to achieve this? A plug-in? Any additional info?
Thanks,
Juan Dent

One possibility is to use Exiftool that can read Canon tags and transform it to keywords or captions that LR can understand. Check out this list from http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/Canon.html:

Importing Canon C300 footage into FCPX

So I shot about 100GB worth of footage on a C300. Now, when I go to import the footage into FCPX, I get the message "None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
I've read in other threads that FCPX directly supports MXF files, and that I should just be able to import directly. However, it's not working! Anyone else deal with this or have found a solid workaround??
- FCPX 10.1.1
- iMac OSX 10.9.2, 3.4 GHz i5, 24 GB RAM.

Hi Chris, I use C300 footage all the time, FCPx loves it, all you have to do is install the plugin : http://learn.usa.canon.com/resources/blogs/2012/20120224_xf_plugin_fcp_x.shtml
after that you should be good to go
