Bizarre PDF URL string

[SpokeHQ]

Hey folks,

I'm getting literally hundreds of Duplicate Title and Duplicate Content errors for a site, and most of them are a result of the same issue. The site uses javascript container pages a lot, but each gets their own URL. Unfortunately, it seems like each page is also loading all the content for all the other pages, or something.

For instance, I have a section of the site under /for-institutions/, and then there are 5 container pages under that. Each container page has it's own URL, so when you select it, you get the URL /for-institutions/products/ or /for-institutions/services/ etc. However, the institutions container page doesn't change, just the content within.

In my SEO results, I'm getting the following:

/for-institutions/$%7Bpdf%7D/

/for-institutions/$%7Bpdf%7D/$%7Bpdf%7D/ etc, each as a duplicate title and content page. How can I eliminate this? Is there a regular expression that rewrites URL segments beginning with $ ?

For your reference: The page is set up so that any URL that doesn't exist just refers to the subdirectory. /for-institutions/$%7Bpdf%7D/ displays /for-institutions/, but does not rewrite the URL. So too if I were to enter /for-institutions/dog.

I didn't develop the site and I don't currently have FTP access to actually edit the templates, or I could probably eliminate that myself. Thanks! I will figure out exactly what's going on with your help now. I appreciate it.

Did you get a chance to have your developer look at your code?  Here's a snippet -

---

### ${text}

There's another one right above that I suspect also includes some items that aren't parsing.

---

<fieldset class="question">
<legend>${question}</legend>
{{each answers}}

<label for="q${$data.id}a${$index}">${text}</label>

{{/each}}
</fieldset>

It's more than likely template code specific to the MonkCMS that isn't getting processed - perhaps there's not a matching variable / object setup in the system.

You will notice that both sections are currently hidden, so maybe you can just do without them altogether?

I'm not familiar with the Monk CMS, but looking at your code, you have some links to:

${pdf}   - the %7B and %7D are basically URL encodes for the braces.

My guess is that ${pdf} is supposed to be parsing into a real URL, but it's not happening...

Can you provide a full URL for the website?
