RE:how to add culture as part of the URL and not as query param

Ok, I've achieved the goal by creating document alias and the query param does the redirect.

another issue I've encountered is that in Firefox, when i change language culture the redirect works and give me a translated content. however, when i try to go back to it's original language Firefox doesn't allow and nothing happens.

In Internet Explorer however, I can go back and forth between languages without any issue.

Please help.

Willy

Is your site live so that we can see the behavior? Could you please send us screenshots of document Properties -> General and document Properties -> URLs of the testing document? Best regards, Helena Grulichova

Hi Helen,

Yes, I test the same page and it's really strange. I just found out that it affects firefox and IE 9. In IE8, there were no issues.

I'm only on a testing environment. Below are the screenshot for both languages.

Kentico Developer	kentico_helenag - 7/11/2011 2:57:44 AM RE:how to add culture as part of the URL and not as query param Hi Willy, thank you for the screenshots. The configuration seems to be OK. Do you the CMSUseCultureForBestPageInfoResult key in your web.config? Best regards, Helena Grulichova


Member	Willy - 7/11/2011 3:14:29 AM RE:how to add culture as part of the URL and not as query param the key is not in the web config file.


Kentico Developer	kentico_ivanat - 7/11/2011 3:25:31 AM RE:how to add culture as part of the URL and not as query param Hi, could you please add following line of code to the web.config file? <add key="CMSUseCultureForBestPageInfoResult" value="true" /> It should fix the issue. If so, the backup of your site requested in this thread is not needed. Best regards, Ivana Tomanickova


Member	Willy - 7/11/2011 3:50:32 AM RE:how to add culture as part of the URL and not as query param Hi, I've added the key but the issue is still there. Please advise. Willy


Kentico Developer	kentico_ivanat - 7/11/2011 6:34:49 AM RE:how to add culture as part of the URL and not as query param Hi, that is strange. Could you please send the export of your site to support@kentico.com? Please do not forget to add a reference to this thread. Best regards, Ivana Tomanickova


Member	Willy - 7/12/2011 10:52:25 PM RE:how to add culture as part of the URL and not as query param Hi, I've forwarded the export file to support email. Thanks, Willy

RE:how to add culture as part of the URL and not as query param

Hi,

we searched for the issue and there seems to be a bug in IE9 (similar with Firefox 5). It is described in the below link. The forum provides a workaround which works fine.

Unfortunately, we are not able to fix it from our side.

Best regards,
Ivana Tomanickova
