Direct link to a product with a selected attribute

[ale123]

TL;DR: how can I generate a product link that automatically select an attribute option?

---------------

I think there is a bug somewhere in product link generator.

Let's assume we have a product with 3 options, like sizes: "S, M, L". Their IDs on DB are: 7,8,9

Now I would like to create a direct link to the product, with size "M" selected.

I'm using this very long call: 

$this->context->link->getProductLink((new Product(87), null, null, null, null, null, 8);

were 87 is the ID of the product and "8" is the ID of the attribute "M"

Link is generated properly:

/87-8-my-product.html

But when opened, it does a redirect to the canonical url ignoring the attribute. Probably because the select in the attribute has a progressive ID (1,2,3) based on the option position in the select and not based on the attributes IDs

Any idea ?

As wrote, that's the function i'm currently using and that is not working as expected.

The link is created with the attribute inside, but when opened, there is a redirect to the canonical url and the attribute is not selected.

I have given you a list of parameters that need to be filled.

        $idProduct = 2;
        $idProductAttribute = 12;
        $product = new Product((int)$idProduct, false, $this->context->language->id);
        $link = new Link();
        $linkProduct = $link->getProductLink(
            $product, 
            false, 
            false, 
            false, 
            $this->context->language->id, 
            $this->context->shop->id, 
            (int)$idProductAttribute,
            false,
            false,
            true,
            [],
            false
        );

Again ?

I'm already using that function call. It doesn't work, there is a redirect to the canonical url of the product.

There are big differences between your example and mine.

[ale123]

The only difference is that you are not using the contex for the getProductLink

[ps8modules]

Use the example I gave you and you will see.

I tested and everything is fine and working.

[ale123]

I've found the issue: it's when multiple languages are enabled.

Probably there is something wrong in my nginx rewrite rules because the direct product link with attributes, doesn't work as expected when multiple languages are enabled.

If I disable the second lang, the product link works.

Any tested and working configuration for nginx with multiple languages supported ?

Fifth parameter of the function is $idLang, did you try to fill it with $this->context->language->id as suggested?

Yes. The issue was some missing nginx rules
