Different category URLs for store views, redirect to proper one

Question

I would like to have different URL keys for a category for every store view. ex http://store.com/electronics.html for EN store

http://store.com/electronics-gr.html for a GR view.

When i switch store views when inside the category it properly redirects me to the correct one. If however i have my website on the GR store view and i click a link outside of my shop http://store.com/electronics.html that will throw a 404 not found.

Only solution i could come up with was each time a category is saved to create a 301 Redirect for say /electronics.html to /electronics-gr.html for the GR store view and so on.

Before going on through i would like some feedback, if there is some other solution i could go with?

Came up with this. The const are just a temp solution but it looks ok.

Answer 2

Yes, i also faced this issue Above (Magento 2.2.3) Version while using Language Switcher.

Please follow below code to resolved this issue of redirection while changing language switcher :

• First of all override the file 'vendor/magento/module-url-rewrite/Model/StoreSwitcher/RewriteUrl.php' and Replace below code.

From line No. 67 to 77

if ($oldRewrite) {
            // look for url rewrite match on the target store
            $currentRewrite = $this->urlFinder->findOneByData([
                UrlRewrite::REQUEST_PATH => $urlPath,
                UrlRewrite::STORE_ID => $targetStore->getId(),
            ]);
            if (null === $currentRewrite) {
                /** @var \Magento\Framework\App\Response\Http $response */
                $targetUrl = $targetStore->getBaseUrl();
            }
        }

To

 if ($oldRewrite) {

        $currentRewrites = $this->urlFinder->findAllByData([
            UrlRewrite::TARGET_PATH => $oldRewrite->getTargetPath(),
            UrlRewrite::STORE_ID => $targetStore->getId(),
        ]);

        if (null === $currentRewrites || empty($currentRewrites)) {
            /** @var \Magento\Framework\App\Response\Http $response */
            $targetUrl = $targetStore->getBaseUrl();
        } else {
            foreach($currentRewrites as $rewrite) {
                $targetUrl = $targetStore->getBaseUrl() . $rewrite->getRequestPath();
                break;
            }
        }
    }

I Hope this is Helpful to You.

Thanks.
