Home page correct redirect

[dnsdesign]

Hello!
Here is my problem. I use two languages on my website. Russian (default) and English. All links looks like root/ru/xx.html and root/en/xx.html. All works fine except one thing. When i'm using En for browsing and press Home link in my menu, it redirects me on home page, but, as RU is default language, any page i will choose will be on russian. So how can i make some rule or something else so when i press Home using EN language for browsing and i will be redirected to root/en instead of root itself?

this helped a lot! thanks!

In modules/mod_mainmenu/helper.php on row 351, replace:
Code: Select all
$tmp->url = JURI::base();
to
Code: Select all
$tmp->url = str_replace(array($tmp->route.'/', $tmp->route), '', JRoute::_( $tmp->url ));

But fixed not all. Here is one little problem remains. I use splash screen that suggest user to choose which language will be displayed before entering site. So when he choose default site language he enters site like root/ru/ and no problem here. Problem is when he press RU flag again in language selection he will go to root instead of root/ru. When he choose EN language, he redirects to root/en/ and it is fine.

Any ideas?

In my opinion,The best way to redirect those pages is by using "301 Redirect". It will redirects to a different page when activated.Not only does it carry your turn - make it safe.No need to worry about search engines penalize you for it. To be specific, the 301 redirect tells the browser, or in other cases, which tells the search engines "Hey this page has moved, here is the correct URL!"

I had the same issue but I used a different solution

I replaced

Code: Select all

$tmp->url = JURI::base();

with

Code: Select all

$tmp->url = JURI::base()."index.php";
