Hello everyone.
​
For each form created, I obtain 2 URLs : a clean one and another one with variable ?view=form at the end.
How to have just one URL, the clean one ?
​
Thank you !

Don't really know what you mean sorry. Where are you "obtaining" these URLs?

I'm working on SEO of a website. When I use a crawler, the software shows 2 differents URLs for a single form. For instance :
/how-to-apply-to-french-course/application-form
/how-to-apply-to-french-course/application-form?view=form
Both URLs have obviously same content : this could be duplicate content. I need the keep only the first URL and to remove the second one.
​
Thank you

Dunno buddy, Googling tells me you need to do something with canonical tags or somesuch.
Or change it in your robots.txt
Or configure your URL parameters in Google Search Console.

Ok. I wanted to fix the problem at its starting point.
Canonical will do the job.
​
Thank you.

Here is how I proceeded, adding php block :

$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addCustomTag('<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.mywebsite.com/the-url-i-want-to-set-canonical">');
