canonical tag uses malformed uri about contao-newslist-extended HOT 6 CLOSED

Can you please test if dev-master fixes your issue?

Although for Contao 4.13 I will probably need to make additional adjustments, otherwise you might end up with 2 canonical URLs :)

Sadly, it does not work even after installing dev-master.

I have created a blank Contao installation with only newslist-extended installed and I can reproduce the error, so it should not be an issue specific to my main installation.

I have tested with and without generate canonical settings enabled for each page root, no difference.

At the moment I am unable to reproduce your issue. From your description it looks like Contao is generating a news URL that looks like this:

//main.domain.com/news/view/news-item-123

But that should never be the case. It should always either be relative or absolute including the scheme (http: or https:).

Your hint gave me an idea, and it may have something to do with the protocol settings in the page root ("URL-Einstellungen -> Protokoll").

When I switch the page root to "http://" the correct canonical url is used...

Maybe Contao generates protocol-relative urls when using https - and you check for the protocol when building the canonical tag?

Maybe Contao generates protocol-relative urls when using https

That would be a bug in Contao then. It is supposed to always generate either:

• Absolute URLs including protocol.
• Path absolute URLs.
• Relative URLs.

Never protocol relative URLs.
