I'm trying to setup a bilingual site and I'm having some issues with setting up the URI. 

'siteUrl' => array(
    'en' => 'http://localhost/mysite',
    'fr' => 'http://localhost/mysite/fr',
),
'environmentVariables' => array(
    'baseUrl'  => 'http://localhost/mysite/',
)

In my single settings: URI for french: {baseUrl}fr/nouvelles URI for english: {baseUrl}news

Not sure how to set this up to have it setup the way I want it. Removing the baseURL part just doesn't print the mysite subfolder.

Thanks!

EDIT: Here's the real problematic after investigation.

The URI should not include anything more than the name so: In my single settings: URI for french: nouvelles (http://localhost/mysite/fr/nouvelles) URI for english: news (http://localhost/mysite/news)

Now, those 2 pages work like expected.

But, if I assign those pages to a Entries field, to create my menu, when I pull the url, it never inclues the /fr portion. Even the default template doesn't render the correct link, dropping the /fr part in the url too:

{% for entry in craft.entries.section('news').limit(5).find() %}
    <li><a href="{{ entry.url }}">{{ entry.title }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}

  • Have you added the physical subfolder (with index.php in it etc.) to your wwwroot for the secondary language? You do not need {baseUrl} in your Section slug settings.

  • Yes! I should specify that everything works like it should when I visit the pages. But, not when I try to access the page's url, or the other locale page's url. localhost/cartovista is in english localhost/cartovista/fr is in french I think I'm getting things confused in the URI part. I don't think it requires the fr part. I will dig a bit more but if someone understands my issue and has already setup a bilingual site, with language switch, I would appreciate some pointers.

  • Ok, I have now pinpointed my issue to url in the twig template. Anytime a page url is called, the fr portion is never included, which renders the link useless. link.page[0].url link page, being a Entries field type.

Well... the answer was quite simple.

'siteUrl' => array(
    'en_ca' => 'http://localhost/mysite',
    'fr_ca' => 'http://localhost/mysite/fr',
),

The _ca part was what was missing. Now my site works amazingly.

Sorry for the run around and I hope this can help someone.
