LangRouter and PdoMenu home link error

#3

Thanks mate.

This is a very simple menu, where I can decide what Id’s display:

[[$menu-footer? &ids=7,8]]
In this specific case 7 is the site_start from a secondary context es

$menu-footer:

[[pdoMenu?
    &tplOuter=`@INLINE 
    <ul class="row footer-menu [[+classnames]]">
        [[+wrapper]]
    </ul>`
    &tpl=`@INLINE 
    <li class="col-6 md-col [[+classnames]]">
        <a class="nav-link text-center text-md-left" href="[[+link]]" [[+attributes]]>[[+menutitle]]</a>
    </li>`
    &resources=`[[+ids]]`
    &parents=`0`
    &parents=`[[*context_key]]`
]]

The problem is the link to ID 7 is pointing to domain.com/ not where it should domain.com/es/
ID 8 and any other ID I put on that resouce works fine, they all are pointing to domain.com/es/respective-page.html

#4

Do you get the same result from both contexts? (assuming you’re trying to get the same resource id from the footer which exists on both)
Does calling it uncached change anything?
Also, I’m unfamiliar with a [[*context_key]] tag being used in the parents parameter. Normally that would be resource ids.

#5

Yes I get the same result in both context but only with the pages that are set in the site_start.
let me explain you:

I got 2 context:

[[*context_key]] = web (default)
base_url: /
cultureKey: en
http_host: domain.com
site_start: 1
site_ur: {url_scheme}{http_host}{base_url}{cultureKey}/


[[*context_key]] = es
base_url: /
cultureKey: es
http_host: domain.com
site_start: 7
site_ur: {url_scheme}{http_host}{base_url}{cultureKey}/

I called my code to display the links:

For context web:

[[$menu-footer? &ids= 1,3 ]] (pages exist inside the context web)
output:
for ID1: <a class="nav-link text-center text-md-left" href="/">Home</a>

for ID 3: <a class="nav-link text-center text-md-left" href="page-two.html">Page Two</a>

For context es:

[[$menu-footer? &ids= 7,8 ]] (pages exist inside the context es)
output:
for ID 7: <a class="nav-link text-center text-md-left" href="/">Inicio</a>

for ID 8: <a class="nav-link text-center text-md-left" href="pagina-dos.html">Página Dos</a>

Here is where everything goes funny! :grin: :grin: :grin:

If change the site_start to 8 instead of the current one that is 7 on context es

[[*context_key]] = es
site_start: 8

for ID 7: <a class="nav-link text-center text-md-left" href="index.html">Inicio</a>

for ID 8: <a class="nav-link text-center text-md-left" href="/">Página Dos</a>

With this example you can see how site_start affects the output link, no matter the context.

Uncached is not doing anything different, unfortunately.

And [[*context_key]] as you see before is jut to filter the output for the current context, if I remove it it doesn’t affect the output.

Thanks mate for your time and help, I’m just clueless with this one, cheers!!!

#6

Did you create a site_start Context Setting for each context at System (gear icon) -> Contexts -> “Create New”?

That will override the System Setting for that context.

#7

Try adding an error_page setting to each context pointing at a dedicated 404 resource on each of those contexts.

Remove both the &parent parameters from your snippet call and add &context=`[[*context_key]]` instead.

Also it’s probably just a typo but make sure the context setting site_ur is actually site_url.

If it’s still not working. Add &showLog=`1` to the pdoMenu call to help you debug.
Also, go to the system settings for LangRouter and set debug to yes. You can then see exactly what’s happening with the routing in the error log.

#8

Hello Bob.
The answer is Yes mate, I create the site_start from that place.
Thanks!

#9
  • Well there was 2 &parent, one of them should be context='[[*context_key]]' my mistake!
    but the change didn’t do any good still the same.
  • Can’t delete &parent= 0 otherwise the default will be Current resource and not display any link!
  • the site_url is right written

Here the LangRouter Log:

Any help please?
Don’t understand what is exactly happening!

#11

Are you perchance including a resource that doesn’t belong to the current context?
Do a pdoMenu call without the &resource parameter and see what resources it has access to.

#12

Using this PDO call:

[[pdoMenu?
    &tplOuter=`@INLINE 
    <ul class="row footer-menu [[+classnames]]">
        [[+wrapper]]
    </ul>`
    &tpl=`@INLINE 
    <li class="col-6 md-col [[+classnames]]">
        <a class="nav-link text-center text-md-left" href="[[+link]]" [[+attributes]]>[[+menutitle]]</a>
    </li>`
    &parents=`0`
    &showLog=`1`
]]

The output is:

<ul class="row footer-menu ">
            <li class="col-6 md-col first active">
            <a class="nav-link text-center text-md-left" href="/">Inicio</a>
        </li><li class="col-6 md-col last">
            <a class="nav-link text-center text-md-left" href="pagina-dos.html">Página Dos</a>
        </li>
        </ul>

Inicio : ID 7 is linked to: https://domain.com (witch is the site_start in context web)
Página Dos: ID 8 is linked to: https://domain.com/es/pagina-dos.html (that is the right URL)

Don’t understand where is the problem, into LangRouter or PdoMenu?
It only affect’s the page set as site_start

may be Mr. @jako can give us a hand?

#13

What resource type is the resource 7? Is it a weblink?

If yes, it could be this issue (and the fix): https://github.com/bezumkin/pdoTools/pull/297

#14

Hey mate, nice to see you. Thanks for “comming”.

No, they all are Resource Type: Document

The problem is with the site_start in each context, they both are pointing to domain.com not to domain.com/cultureKey/

  • The [[+menutitle]] in both context is right, one display Hone the other Inicio
  • If I link from one context to the other it works fine: For example from a page in web context link to the site_start in context es, the url is: domain.com/es/ what is good!
#15

Any rules in your Apache .htaccess or nginx config file that may be conflicting?

#16

Well good idea I thought might be this lines that I use to force all url to https.
I delete them but no change:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

my .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#18

Have you got the LangRouter system settings filled out, or just using the Babel ones? If not, try filling them out.
If still an issue, add a context with the context_key en and try using that instead of web. It shouldn’t but that’s how all mine get set up and they work.

#19

Mate try everything and the only way that this works fine is removing the site_start value from the context.
the only problem is that domain.com/en/ or domain.com/es/ are error pages, but if I add index.html it works.
this is nightmare.
Do you have any simple setup backup that I can try in my hosting? just to check, may be it’s a php setting or something.

Looks like the problem is just me! :rofl: :rofl: F***!
Cheers!

#20

Well one of the ways that it’s “working” is:

context web:

base_url: /
cultureKey: en
error_page: 9
home_page: 1
http_host: domain.com
site_start: 1
site_url: {url_scheme}{http_host}{base_url}{cultureKey}/

Context es:

base_url: /
cultureKey: es
error_page: 10
home_page: 7
http_host: domain.com
site_start:    (field empty)
site_url: {url_scheme}{http_host}{base_url}{cultureKey}/

The setting home_page is to link the menu logo to the homepage of every context:

<a class="navbar-brand" href="[[~[[++home_page]]? &scheme=full]]"><img src="[[++menu_logo:pthumb=h=35]]" alt="[[+site_name]]" /></a>

I normally use the site_start in this case but can’t fill it in both context.

The only oproblem with this set up is:

  1. the domain.com/es/ is an error page.
  2. domain.com/en/ and domain.com and domain.com/es/index.html exist as different pages, I think that affect SEO
#21

Yes, you always need to define a per-context site_start. Each context is a separate website. Each website needs a homepage.

The problem is that your base_url is set to / - that should be set to /es/ or /en/.

When you change that, also fix your site_url. Take out the {cultureKey}, as your {base_url} will already contain that.

#22

Well what can I say… I solved my problem moving to Xrouting.
links and everything is working fine now, on both context.
any problem with images is solved on step 7 and the reference to pThumb on the LangRoute document.

context config in case somebody need it:

Context web:

Copy to clipboard

base_url: /
cultureKey: en
error_page: 3
http_host: domain.com
site_start: 1
site_url: https://domain.com/

Context es:

base_url: /es/
cultureKey: es
error_page: 4
http_host: domain.com
site_start: 2
site_url: https://domain.com/es/

Thanks everybody for the help, special thanks to @digitalpenguin, cheer mate!
