I'm not sure what to search for on this. I'm sure it's here but I just don't know what to call it.

These 4 url's point to the same page which is almost exact all 4 times. The film strip seems to be the only change. -

http://www.the-landscape-design-site.com/my/displayimage.php?album=3&pos=0
http://www.the-landscape-design-site.com/my/displayimage.php?album=search&cat=0&pos=0
http://www.the-landscape-design-site.com/my/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=0
http://www.the-landscape-design-site.com/my/displayimage.php?album=toprated&cat=0&pos=3

If I search, for instance, the search results thumbnail page comes up fine. However, I don't understand why the clicked on thumbnail returns a result with a different url that contains "search" in it. Is it possible to change code to without the additional phrases? This seems like it could be close enough to be considered duplicate content.

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction or plugin.

Do I understand correctly that this is addressed in 1.5 with permanent url's?

I'm truly sorry to ask unnecessary questions.

Until then, I'll search the forum for how to possibly place "noindex" in the head of specific pages.

Yes, in cpg1.5.x the issue will be fixed with the use of pid (picture ID) instead of pos (relative position within an album) in the URL. There is no scheduled release date yet for cpg1.5.x.

Thank you.

Guess I'll put this project on hold till then. I may be wrong but it seems that an update like that would change all or most existing url's because they will have "PID" in them (or probably redirect?). Anyway, I like what I've already built so I'll wait. That change alone will make it for me.

Thanks again.

Old links won't go down - they will still work the same way they used to work before (pos will still be taken into account if present as URL parameter instead of pid), so you won't lose search engine links when upgrading.

manifold

Thank you again.

That's great. Guess I'll get to work.
