Forgive me if this is a double post, I posted this earlier today and 
nothing appeared.

I've been heckled by my SEO person about duplicate URLs for the same 
content. This occurs when a dmHTML content type is referenced through a 
teaser template. 
eg: /about-us (the dmNavigation furl) & /about-us/about-us (dmHTML)

My initial reaction was to put a canonical link tag in the header for a 
dmHTML content type. (and I did)
<cfif lcase(stobj.typename) EQ 'dmhtml'>
    <skin:buildLink objectID="#request.navid#" r_url="theURL"/>    
    <cfoutput><link rel="canonical" href="http://#cgi.SERVER_NAME##theURL#"
/></cfoutput> 
</cfif>

But I also thought fixing the issue at the source would be a good idea, ie 
any teasers for dmHTML.

<cfset tmpNavid = application.fapi.getContentType("#stobj.typename#").
getNavID(objectid="#stobj.objectid#", typename="#stobj.typename#", stobject=
"#stobj#") />
<skin:buildLink objectID="#tmpNavid#">
            <skin:view objectid="#stobj.teaserImage#" typename="dmImage" 
template="displayTeaserImage" />
</skin:buildLink>

Now all the teasers for dmHTML now reference the navigation furl and not 
it's own.

If anyone has a better solution, or if I'm making things difficult for 
myself please let me know. Most things I do originated from molio template 
way back when so some of the newer skeletons (fandango) might contain newer 
tricks.

Regards
Phil
