SEO Suite: Country code in URL

Support Extras
1

I want to create a redirect from »https: // domain.tld/page« to »https: // domian.tld/de/parent/page.html« but this doesn’t work. It always create a source url including country code »https: / /domain.tld/de/page«.

On my /en/ context it works without the country code. Perhaps because the /de/ is the default context (web)?

What do you mean by “It always create a source url”? The blue part (<span class="x-grid-span">) that is shown in the grid of redirects in the column “Old URL”?
What exactly did you enter in the field “Old URL” when creating the redirect?

As far as I can tell, when you enter page for “Old URL”, then this is exactly what is stored in the database table modx_seosuite_redirect.

yes, the blue part. I did following:

  1. I open the »Search engine« tab of the the page I want to redirect to.
  2. Clicked on »New URL redirect«
  3. enter in the field »old URL« just the name like »sustainability«.
  4. A redirect will be created, but as you recognized correctly with the »/en/« in the blue part »https: // domain.tld/en/«, followed by the word »sustainability«.

I think it’s because of the context settings. All my language pages starts with »/en/« or »/de/«

Instead of using the »Search engine« tab of the page you want to redirect to, try adding the redirect in the “SEO Suite” CMP.

  1. In the top menu of the manager choose “Extras” → “SEO Suite”
  2. Change to the tab “URL redirect”
  3. Click “New URL redirect” and enter the data (you can use an integer for “New URL”)

This way the column “context_key” of the database table doesn’t get fill and the blue part should just show */.

If this still doesn’t work, then please post the “friendly URLs part” of your .htaccess-file and the plugin/router you use to switch between your contexts (XRouting,LangRouter).

Thanks a lot. This works without any problem.
