Redirection to the Start Page (MLE)

[rediska]

Hi!

Is it possible to configure a redirection to the start page when clicking an a language flag?
For example...the visitor is on the english site "about me" clicks on the french flag and is redirected to the french start page.
I tried to achieve that by changing the redirect_lang tag. But in the 1.3 version this tag seems not to work at all.At least It's changing doesn't  affect anything.

Thank You!

The UDT tag to be used when content == "" to redirect to another page??

Arrghh!!!

It's very old and I tried in mle <= 1.2.3
You must use b. version of Tips #9 (now is automatic with a flag)

But the problem is (at least in my case), that I don't want to display the default lang, I want to redirect to default or homepage for this lang, would that still be possible, with a different UDT perhaps?

UNTESTED (for 1.4+)

redirect_to:

Code: Select all

if (! empty($params['to']))
{
	redirect_to_alias($params['to']);
}

with  to='alias_of_page_to_redirect'

Hi Alby,

where should this code be put in?

thanx!

Btw: that's how my redirect_lang tag looks. But as i said it ain't working.

Code: Select all

global $gCms;
global $hls, $hl;

if ( (! empty($params['lang'])) && (array_key_exists($hls, $params['lang'])) )
	$hl = $params['lang'];
else
	$hl = DEFAULT_LANG;

if (! empty($params['to'])) $alias = $params['to'];
else
{
	$pageinfo =& $gCms->variables['pageinfo'];
	$alias = $pageinfo->content_id;
}


$config = &$gCms->GetConfig();
$contentops =& $gCms->GetContentOperations();
$contentobj = $contentops->LoadContentFromAlias( $alias );


if($config['assume_mod_rewrite'])
{
	if($config['use_hierarchy'] == true) $_end_url_part = $contentobj->HierarchyPath().(isset($config['page_extension'])?$config['page_extension']:'.html');
	else $_end_url_part = $alias .(isset($config['page_extension'])?$config['page_extension']:'.html');
	$link_url = $config['root_url'].'/index.php/'.$params['lang'].'/'.'home';
}
else
{
	if(isset($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) && $config['internal_pretty_urls'] == true)
	{
		if($config['use_hierarchy'] == true) $_end_url_part = $contentobj->HierarchyPath().(isset($config['page_extension'])?$config['page_extension']:'.html');
		else $_end_url_part = $alias .(isset($config['page_extension'])?$config['page_extension']:'.html');
		$link_url = $config['root_url'].'/index.php/'.$params['lang'].'/'.'home';
	}
	else
	{
		$link_url = $config['root_url'].'/index.php/'.$params['lang'].'/'.'home';
	}
}
redirect($link_url);

Try to replace redirect_lang code with my redirect_to code and try to call (or use b case):
{redirect_lang to='try_with_one_alias'}

hm, doesn't work..

Have you replace your code and use un real 'try_with_one_alias' (with 1.3.1 you can to have problem with default page: page with / only)?
I check and work

Hello alby,

I just checked if it worked, but it didn't for me.

What I did was:

Create a new UDT (called it: not_available) with:

Code: Select all

if (! empty($params['to']))
{
	redirect_to_alias($params['to']);
}

Then in my template I added:

Code: Select all

{content assign='maincontent'}
{if $maincontent eq ''}{not_available to="home"}{else}{$maincontent}{/if}

But nothing happens. I think it is because the "if $maincontent eq ''" isn't working! How can I fix this?

Hummm, I tested and worked
Check with:

Code: Select all

{content assign='maincontent'}
{if $maincontent eq ''}maincontent eq ''{else}maincontent neq '': {$maincontent}{/if}

I have a patch for this but it's untested.
In this weekend I look

Okay, thanks for taking the effort. I tried this, however, it still doesn't work for me. I think the problem still lays in the fact that the "content" tag isn't empty, and there it does render the $maincontent.
