Strange URLS - Joomla multilingual website

[sarah444]

Hi,

My site navettedisney-aeroport.com multilingual site and created with joomla 3.8.3

The site works well and the Multilingual Status is ok, but I have strange URLS:

I followed the tutorial of Joomla! Documentation (3.x:Setup a Multilingual Site) to create a multilingual website

I have created a menu (Main Menu (ALL)) with menu item (Home-AL) assigned to language All and I have unpublished the module associated to the Main Menu (ALL)

The problem is that I have strange URLs:

For example:

+ for my English version (mysite.com/en), I have these URLS:
mysite.com/en/home-all.html
mysite.com/en/home.html

For the Spanish version (mysite.com/es):
mysite.com/es/home-all.html
mysite.com/es/home.html

To solve this problem I made a redirection 301, but I want to know why these URLS are generated

Thanks in advance for your help

Without looking at your site as super user, can't help.

I also suspect that there could be some issues with the template. The reason being, whatever language is active (e.g. English), when some clicks on the logo, it takes them to the default language's (French) home page. The expected behavior is that when some clicks on the logo, they are taken to the home page of the active language.

Thanks Imani and Jean Marie

I do not think the problem comes from the template.
I have this problem with two sites that use different templates.

PS: I use plugins SH404SEF and JCH Optimizer pro

whatever language is active (e.g. English), when some clicks on the logo, it takes them to the default language's (French) home page.

Yes that's true it's another problem, I do not know how to solve it

Thanks

Please use forum private messages as it seems your mail never got here.
ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=14

The fact that you are using a 301 redirection + using SH404SEF makes it difficult to solve though.

Concerning the logo href, some code has to be added somewhere in your Gantry template.

I can not send you a private message, I get following message:"We are sorry, but you are not authorised to use this feature. You may have just registered here and may need to participate more to be able to use this feature."

I sent you another message via the following page:memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=14

P.S: I have removed all the 301 redirection

Code: Select all

Redirect 301 /accueil.html https://www.monsite
Redirect 301 /home-all.html https://www.monsite
Redirect 301 /gantry5.html https://www.monsite
Redirect 301 /it/home.html https://www.monsite/it/
Redirect 301 /it/home-all.html https://www.monsite/it/
Redirect 301 /es/inicio.html https://www.monsite/es/
Redirect 301 /es/home-all.html https://www.monsite/es/
Redirect 301 /en/home.html https://www.monsite/en/
Redirect 301 /en/home-all.html https://www.monsite/en/

Merci

1. The wrong urls you describe don't come from Joomla core.
Each Home menu item has a different alias and when getting on homes via the Switcher, the urls are fine
The issue certainly comes from your use of sh404SEF

Example: This looks like it is a back-end url and not a frontend one

2. Concerning the url for the logo, this is not accessible via template editing as it is set in your version of Gantry (I guess) and I would need the full template package to find out where it lies.
But this is not a free template and anyway I can't find it on the web.

Thanks for your help.
1- I contacted the developer of SH404 and he is doing his best to solve the problem
2- I am ready to send you the template package, but i don't know how to send it to you

Solved your logo issue.
Edit each Template styles layout and add the URL Language Code to the logo URL.

No need to send the package.

Thanks Jean Marie for your help.
but is not better for the Italian kanguage to add the URL Language Code: it/ (with the Slash)
because for the italian language when i click on logo i get: monsite.com/it
and when i click on Home menu, i get monsite.com/it/

Thanks Jean Marie for your help.
but now i have now a small problem that can cause a duplicate content:
for the italian language when i click on the logo i get www.site.com/it (without slash)
and when i click on Home menu, i get www.site.com/it/ (with slash at the end)

I think it's better to edit each template styles layout and add the URL Language Code with slash: it/
