Characters on language link selection.

[frontend]

Hi,

 

I have installed several languages. When i swith from one language to another.. for instance German to French then some characters are added to the end of the link. Like this..

 

The link in the browser shows this:  https://www.mystore.com/en/?q=%2Fnl%2F

 

Code from the page

<a href="https://www.mystore.com/en/?q=%2FEN%2F" title="English (United States)">

 

Can this be fixed ?

 

 

Regards,

 

 

Bernhard.

it looks like some kind of bug in the theme (i hope so) or in core ( maybe you use some module that changes the urls like clean urls etc. ?)

 

if you try to access to the language version of the shop directly by typing in address bar http://domain.com/nl/ - you're redirected to page with q=%2Fnl%2F ?

Hi Vekia, Thank you for your reply. 

 

I do not often ask questions, but read a lot, through the years i have seen that you give excellent feedback to questions (so i want to compliment you on that)

 

Concerning your remark. No this is not the case.

 

When i type the url directly for instance for the main language NL on https://www.mywebshop.com/nl/  Then i works correctly (nothing added)

Also when i go to the other languages directly by typing in the url in the browser bar then it also works correctly.

 

For instance ;

https://www.mywebshop.com/fr/

https://www.mywebshop.com/de/

https://www.mywebshop.com/es/

https://www.mywebshop.com/en/

 

Only when i change the language through the dropdown menu on the main page these characters are added in de address bar:

 

For instance switch from /nl/ to /de/ with show this in the address bar.  https://www.mywebshop.com/de/?q=%2Fnl%2F

 

Still the /de/ language works correctly but logicly i would like to see the url without the ?q=%2Fnl%2F

 

Still the same thing happens when i then swtich from /de/ to /fr/ the ?q=%2Fnl%2F is added.

 

Any idears? 

Might it have something to do with nginx rewrite rules set through server.conf ?

 

I use the default theme (for many years already)

I use version 1.6.1.12 but i think i had this issue already long before that.

 

Ps.

I noticed that an online SEO checker also sees these urls with the added character and marks them as Unfriendly urls.

This was the main / extra to find out how i can fix this, since it drops the Seo score.

 

Regards,

 

Bernhard.

case requires inspection, so firstly its necessary to verify the module that is responsible for this dropdown

it is 'blocklanguages' - can you please show .tpl file of this module ? (if your theme overrides it /themes/your-thememodules/blocklanguages/ - this is the right directory with file)

[frontend]

I Have only one theme which is the defaultbootstrap This is the blocklanguages.tpl content from themes/default-bootstrap/modules/blocklanguages
