why aimeos doesn't save locale

[ahmed31916]

Hello,

Why aimeos doesn't save the locale of the user?
The locale was changed, but when I go to other page, it returns to the default locale.
this is the locale parameter that I passed to the route : "?locale=ar&currency=ILS".

Note: I didn't activate the multilocale option in the .env file. Is this the problem?

[aimeos]

Yes, you have to set SHOP_MULTILOCALE=true in your .env file

I was afraid to turn it on because when I run "php artisan optimize", I got this:

Code: Select all

Route pattern "/{locale}/site/{locale}" cannot reference variable name "locale" more than once.

because you didn't register any local in you're app.
https://github.com/aimeos/aimeos/blob/m ... Locale.php

I already added the locale. But the problem is from the format of the route.
All links must start with the locale id, and I have some have not.

It seems is solved.

[aimeos]

In your ./config/shop.php, you've added the "{locale}" placeholder yourself to the routes and it's not allowed to use the same placeholder twice in an URL. Remove the "{locale}" string you've added to the routes and it will work with SHOP_MULTILOCALE=true

Thanks, now I have no errors.
But, I have some notes:

- Can I overwrite "airoute" function?
- When I remove this from the url "?currency=USD", it go back to the default currency?
- Why in guest user, It doesn't store the locale in the session?

[aimeos]

- Can I overwrite "airoute" function?

If you define your own function before this code is executed, you can overwrite the function:

- When I remove this from the url "?currency=USD", it go back to the default currency?

Yes, back the to first locale combination which is matching the language in the URL.

- Why in guest user, It doesn't store the locale in the session?

Whenever you save something into the session of a user but your content depends on it, it's impossible to cache the page.

Yes, back the to first locale combination which is matching the language in the URL.

Why not return the last currency that was traded?
Isn't this link set the locale of the app?

[aimeos]

You can have several locale combinations with the same language but different currencies. Thus, the currency must be added as well if you don't have only one combination. In that case, you should overwrite the airoute() function to leave out the currency if it's always the same or only depends on the language.
