How to set default Locale {locale} on default redirected controller? - luckmoshy - 05-10-2022
Hi all! I have an app that works ok in different languages but want to filter and fix on home URL to append locale as
PHP Code:
/*Filter class*/
/*I get too many redirect error message*/
$uri = &$request->uri;
$segments = array_filter($uri->getSegments());
$checkSegments = count($segments);
// the first 2 letters (en => en)
$userLocale = strtolower(substr($request->getLocale(), 0, 2));
$locale = in_array($userLocale, $request->config->supportedLocales) ?
$userLocale :
$this->request->config->defaultLocale;
if if ($checkSegments == 0)
{
return redirect()->to("/{$locale}");
}
I want if any incoming request should fall on eg: (www. example.com/en) and not (www. example.com)
PHP Code:
public function index(){
return view('homepage');/*I want to fix in homepage should be appended with surport locale = exapmple.com/{locale}*/
}
/* I get 404 error */
$routes->get('/{locale}', 'HomePage::index',['filter'=>'locales']); /*get 404 error*/

Well, On Routes.php you can assign {locale} for the homepage and maybe this easy approach might give you idea for the rest:
PHP Code:
$lang = $this->request->uri->getSegment(1); //this is the language code part.
if($lang == ''){
return redirect()->to(site_url('/en'));
}
So, it will automatically redirect to your default language, whatever it is..
