Hello,
I see this in the changelog of the new dev version:

Added Internal rewrite to the aliases feature: display another Joomla page without the URL changing

What does this mean? Is this a forced change? I much prefer aliases redirecting to the main URL, instead of displaying without the URL changing. Displaying without the URL changing will mean a lot of DUPLICATE content seen by Google. (different URL same page)

Hi,

Well, the changelog says "Added" so it's another thing that can be done on top of everything else...

URL rewriting is different from redirecting, it's something else.

With this addition, aliases can be of 3 types: redirect, canonical and rewrite.

Regards

Oh very cool then.

As long as it's an option and not a mandatory thing, then it's all fine :) :)

Thanks for the reply!
