    Multilingual Site - Homepage Links

    Hello,

    I have a multilingual site running with the following folder structure (no sub domains):

    Content
    - Site
    -- de
    -- en

    On properties for the german homepage (de), there is the following:

    Link to document
    Alternative Links
    -

    Using XSLTSearch or other packages for XML Sitemap generation, the link to the german homepage is always generated as "/de.aspx" (using umbraco.library:NiceUrl()), but I don't want to use them for the home pages. I would like to get "/de" or "/en" instead in case of the home pages (without changing each packages XSLT file). Is it possible to achieve that? Is there a way to get the Alternative Link from NiceUrl() method for specific pages?


    Best Regards

    Andreas Pfanner

    If you set 

    <add key="umbracoUseDirectoryUrls" value="true" />

    you will get the URLs without the file extension (you will need to configure wildcardmapping in IIS though).

    Hi Magnus,

    the problem here is that I don't want directory urls for all of the sub pages, but only for the home pages.. Any chance?

    You can adjust the script a little bit ie by checking @level=1 and check what node it is, and put a rewrite rule in the UrlRewriting.config , i think that should work.

    Why wouldn't you want directory urls for all pages?

    I've not tested this, but something like this should work:

    <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id), '.aspx')" />

    Regards,
    Magnus

    Its kinda cosmetic decision.. Is it preferred to use directory urls? I guess concerning SEO it should be no difference..

    For SEO reasons it has a slight advantage as far as i know.

    Or you could try 4.6.1, looks like it has been fixed! My topnode returns "/" instead of CompanyName.aspx :)

    Edit: Ahhh didn't see the companyname.com/de, don't know if that works.

    I already use 4.6.1, but I have multiple "top nodes" (for each language)..

    I don't think /de will work if you don't use niceurl's , i think it will result in a 404 error.
