Magento add canonical link to head section via xml

i'm trying to add my link to head section via my xml file, but nothing happens (magento 1.7.0.2)

<action method="addLinkRel"><rel>canonical</rel><href>http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Dancing+Script</href></action>

please tell correct way.

Solution

  • Maybe something like this, showing complete layout XML structure:

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>

    <default>
        <reference name="head">
            <block type="core/text" name="any.name.here">
                <action method="setText"><text><![CDATA[<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Dancing+Script">]]></text></action>
            </block>
        </reference>
    </default>
</layout>

    The setText lets you do pretty much anything, and will be a safe bet for any third party js or css.
