Render flat navigation hierarchies for SEO
------------------------------------------
Key: MAGNOLIA-3385
URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MAGNOLIA-3385
Project: Magnolia
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Boris Kraft
Assignee: Boris Kraft
By default, our navigation elements reflect the hierarchy of a site. For SEO
reasons it would be good if the hierarchies are as flat as possible, at best
having only top level pages. For understanding the logical structure of a site,
hierarchies are however very desirable.
What I imagine is that the navigation elements actually render as they do now
but point to top-level "aliases". In fact, no deep links should ever be
rendered anywhere (to avoid duplicate content violation).
So while my page hierarchy is as follows:
home
home/about
home/about/history
The menu would look:
home
- about
- - history
But e.g. history would *always* link to www.a.com/history.html not
www.a.com/home/about/history.html
One problem that I see is that we would need to ensure that in such a case all
page names are unique. (Observation?)
As a related issue, I think the "folder" concept discussed for STK goes in a
similar direction; possible with better control over which hierarchies are flat
and which are not.
