-- url of the page with the problem -- : walliser-weine.ch
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.5
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6
-- PHP version -- : 5.5
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : all
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : wrong display

Hello,

I have some problems to set the language for product categories properly.
Something goes wrong, when i switch the language. when i open a window with category overview:
e.g.: walliser-weine.ch/shop/index.php/de/weinangebot
i can open the category and i can see the products

When i change the language in the category overview page, the categories are translated properly. When i try to open a specific category, it switches back to the original german page. when i enter a authorized URL for the language, the page for the products does not open.

What do i wrong?

Many thank for your help.

Markus

Hi,

What you need to do is to enter a valid URL in the "canonical URL" of the category. If the page for the products does not open, it means that the link you're using is not correct. For example, this URL is valid:
/shop/index.php/fr/nos-vins/category/roseweine
Make sure that the "alias auto fill" option of the HikaShop is turned on. Otherwise, the system won't look for the translated alias of the category and won't find the vins-roses french alias of the category.

Hi,

Many thanks.
As far i can see, the canonical URL for the main description, german in my case, is filled in automatically. Do i have to define it for the translations allways manually?
This field is allways empty in the translation window. As far i can see now, this is also the case for products.

Regards

Markus

Hi again,

I have ssen in the forum, that i should be able to delete all canonical URL's and i can recreate them.
Is there a function or do i have to delete them all manually?

Once i have done this, are they set also automatically for poructs which do not have any translation. My main problem currently is, that often, products have just german. this should also be displayed, even i change to show a french page. the problem is, that the complete page switches back to german automatically.

Thanks for your feedback.

Regards
Markus

The solution can be to directly reset all your canonical URLs by using mass actions via "Hikashop->System->Mass actions"

Hi Mohamed

Many thanks for your feedback.

Could you give me some detailled information, how i could use this Mass-Action to delete all canonical URL's.
I went through the forum and i could not find any clear description about this.

Thanks very. very. very, very much! :cheer:

Hi,

You create one mass action via the menu System>Mass actions and set in it one action "update the values" where you select the product_canonical field and don't enter anything in the value field. Then, click on the "process" button at the top to run it.
