Using EXT:redirects with a news article in a not default language as a target doesn't work
After reading the documentation up and down and forwards and backwards, I've come to the conclusion that it must be a bug somehow and hope, someone can help.
I have already started a topic on stackoverflow, but unfortunately there is no solution there: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78422845/how-to-setup-routeenhancer-for-extnews-which-works-in-redirct-module-for-linkin
Here is a brief summary of the problem:
The links that are generated with EXT:redirect when you want to redirect to a news record in a foreign language are wrong.
The generated path is the one from the default language (e.g. https://mysite.com/news/article/) while the last part is the translated news title (e.g. mein-deutscher-beitrag).
The configurations from the following parts of the documentation are in use: https://docs.typo3.org/p/georgringer/news/11.4/en-us/Tutorials/BestPractice/Routing/Index.html https://docs.typo3.org/p/georgringer/news/11.4/en-us/Tutorials/BestPractice/Linkhandler/Index.html https://docs.typo3.org/p/georgringer/news/11.4/en-us/Tutorials/BestPractice/PreviewOfRecord/Index.html https://docs.typo3.org/p/georgringer/news/11.4/en-us/Tutorials/ExtendNews/DataProcessing/LanguageMenuProcessor.html
Another additional information: Creating such a link in a rte field behaves like this: translated page -> link to: translated news article -> works fine ✅ translated page -> link to: default language news article -> (correct) link to translated news article ❌ default language page -> link to: translated news article -> mixed link (as described above) ❌
Setting an additional param like L=1 doesn't seem to have any impact
If you take the faulty parts apart, it seems that the additionalParams are overwritten and therefore the L=1 is never taken into account.
config.recordLinks.tx_news {
typolink {
…
# overwrites all additionalParams ->
additionalParams.data = field:uid
…
}
}
With following workaround this behaviour is omitted:
additionalParams {
wrap = &tx_news_pi1[controller]=News&tx_news_pi1[action]=detail&tx_news_pi1[news]={field:uid}&L={field:sys_language_uid}
insertData = 1
}
Could someone else test this? What side effects could this cause?
Removed mine too.
If you're fine with my solution from above, I could amend the documentation on this part(https://docs.typo3.org/p/georgringer/news/11.4/en-us/Tutorials/BestPractice/Linkhandler/Index.html#configuration-for-the-frontend)?
