.htaccess redirection

[Beta858]

Hi,

I need some help. 

Can someone tell me how can I redirect this link:

 

http://www.stolarijamraz.com/shop/gorenje-m-41.html?page=14&sort=2a&language=en

 

to this one:

 

http://www.stolarijamraz.com/shop/gorenje-m-41.html?page=14&sort=2a&language=hr

 

Or, if no one knows, how to just add hr on the end, like this:

 

http://www.stolarijamraz.com/shop/gorenje-m-41.html?page=14&sort=2a&language=en=hr

If you are going to redirect the link, it would mean you don't need the language. In that case, just delete the English languages in admin and delete the english.php and english directory in the languages directory. The default language will be loaded automatically.

The problem is that currently I don't need the english site, but this redirection is just temporary, so in the future, I'll still be needing the english version as well.

I haven't tested this but I think it will work. But I don't think it is needed. If you remove the language files as mentioned, the code should use the default files. Then when you are ready to make the language available, just rename them back. That way the ulr's will not have to be redirected again, which they will be if you use this method.

RewriteRule ^en/(.*)$ http://www.stolarijamraz.com/shop/$1'>http://www.stolarijamraz.com/shop/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^hr$ http://www.stolarijamraz.com/shop [L,R=301]

I don't think there's going to be any easy way to do it in .htaccess. The language=en is in the URL Query String, so you won't see it in a RewriteRule. You don't want to simply replace the Query String (by hard coding it in a RewriteRule) because there's other stuff in the UQS. Using the QSA flag might work -- you'd have to test your server to see if the new (hard coded) ?language=hr overrides the old language=en, en overrides the hr, or both show up. I'm not sure if there are consistent rules.

 

Since this is only temporary, it would be a lot easier to follow Jack's instructions to temporarily disable English.

 

Evidently, osC still needs better control over the default language: to use the visitor's browser setting, or put something in the database or configure file. Provision might be made for choosing a "best guess" based on geolocation (IP address). Admin and catalog should be treated differently.
