For users of the TourCMS tour operator ecommerce platform
Hi there,
I just launched a second web site based on TourCMS. All is fine and I'm happy :-)
But now I have a question: how to manage all the content so it could be SEO friendly.
Let's say my web site A is primary and web site B is secondary. Some of tours are displayed on both websites.
As far as I understand I should use canonical tags to inform spiders that the content is not a plagiarism, e.g.:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.website-a.com/product.tour-1"/>
What kind of TourCMS Element Tags should I use for that? Could anybody help me with this?
Many thanks in advance :)

Are you using CMS templates or API to power your secondary (B) website?

I'm using CMS templates. I think I would need a tag returning the url of the page of the main web site (web site A in my example), something like
<link rel="canonical" href="<$TourCMStour output="t_tour_url"$>">. But I need to input also a TourCMS channel of the web site A, right?

<link rel="canonical" href="<$TourCMStour output="t_tour_url" website_id="WEBSITE_ID_HERE"$>">
