Should rel canonical tags include the root domain

[QPLF]

It does sound like a silly question but bear with me a little...

I recently installed on my Joomla website a module that automatically creates rel canonical tags for pages that contain lists that can be sorted by different criteria: (price, alphabetic order, etc...)

Will this work?

I mean, will it be "understood" by the bots?

To see what the module actually does, you can visit the following link

Which is the original "unsorted" page.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Jorge,

Your site code is perfectly fine and search engines will understand your canonical tag.

If you examine your source code you will find the following line of code near the top of the section:

<base href="http://www.quipeutlefaire.fr/" />

The above code says to prepend any URLs with the base URL indicated.
