HI,
I saw that after having added "mobile", 2 more URL are created.
In the example:
iphone.greenme.it/mangiare/alimentazione-a-salute/5811-frutta-rimedio-della-nonna-o-medicina-del-futurohttp://m.greenme.it/mangiare/alimentazione-a-salute/5811-frutta-rimedio-della-nonna-o-medicina-del-futuro

are created for Google, but only one is real.www.greenme.it/mangiare/alimentazione-a-salute/5811-frutta-rimedio-della-nonna-o-medicina-del-futuro

This cause a problem for indexing the main site.
Is it possible to create a rel="canonical" field for the subdomains, pointing to the main site?

Thx.

Try to add the following code to mobile templates:

 
<link rel="canonical" href="/<?php
$canonical = clone(JFactory::getURI());
$canonical->delVar('device');
$desktop_uri = new JURI($MobileJoomla_Settings['desktop_url']);
$canonical->setHost($desktop_uri->getHost());
echo $canonical->toString();
?>" />

</script><script type="text/javascript" src="/iphone.greenme.it/plugins/system/pc_includes/ajax_1.2.js"></script> <link rel="canonical" href="/vivere/arte-e-cultura/6023-the-boat-project-la-barca-realizzata-dal-riciclo-del-legno-e-dei-ricordi-di-ciascuno-di-noi" />

I forgot to add $MobileJoomla_Settings definition. The correct code is

<link rel="canonical" href="/<?php
$canonical = clone(JFactory::getURI());
$canonical->delVar('device');
$MobileJoomla_Settings =& MobileJoomla::getConfig();
$desktop_uri = new JURI($MobileJoomla_Settings['desktop_url']);
$canonical->setHost($desktop_uri->getHost());
echo $canonical->toString();
?>" />

MobileJoomla adds rel="canonical" tag to all mobile templates (this feature was added a year ago in MJ 1.0 RC5).

Canonical tags tell the search engine bots which pieces of content are the original or primary ones and which are duplicates.In Joomla website,"rel=canonical" tag is for SEO improvement.
