How to get URLs with languages prefixes (if enabled) using API

Javier Galvis asked on June 23, 2014 08:54

I'm working on a project of 16 websites on a single Kentico 7 installation. all 16 websites are multilingual (English and French), however, not all of them have a exclusive domain for each language. For these websites which have a single domain for both languages, I enabled the language prefix setting (SiteManager -> Settings -> URLs and SEO -> SEO - Cultures -> Use language prefix for URLs).

Now, I'm trying to generate links, programmatically, to different documents using Kentico API, but I couldn't find any method to get the relative path (or absolute) including the language prefix, if enabled.

I wouldn't like to code a validation for the language prefix setting, and splitting culture to paste it in URLs, each time that I have to generate a link (I don't think it was the cleanest way to do it).

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Javier,

Thank you for your message.

You can use the DocumentURLProvider class to help you generate URLs for documents. Here is a simple API example:

    TreeProvider treeProvider = new TreeProvider(CurrentUser);
    int documentID = 4;
    CMS.DocumentEngine.TreeNode document = treeProvider.SelectSingleDocument(4);
    if (document != null)
    {
        string url = URLHelper.GetAbsoluteUrl(DocumentURLProvider.GetUrl(document.NodeAliasPath));
    }

Let me know if you need anything else.

Kind regards,

Richard Sustek
