-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OFBIZ-4412
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4412
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: specialpurpose/ecommerce
Affects Versions: Release Branch 10.04, Release Branch 11.04, SVN trunk
Environment: Not specific
Reporter: mz4wheeler
Priority: Trivial
Fix For: Release Branch 10.04, Release Branch 11.04, SVN trunk
Using the specified patch, it is now possible to set a users initial Locale
(and even currency) based on the webapp mount point. This works with a single
store, and does not require the use virtual hosts. This is especially useful
when setting up sitemap.xml, which allows crawlers (like google) to correctly
locate and traverse products and services in multiple languages.
Here is an example where "ecomclone" has been modified to Locale=fr with a
mount point of "/fr".
specialpurpose/ecommerce/ofbiz-component.xml:
<!-- <init-param name="Currency" value="EUR"/> -->
<webapp name="ecommerce"
title="eCommerce"
server="default-server"
location="webapp/ecommerce"
mount-point="/ecommerce"
app-bar-display="false">
</webapp>
<webapp name="ecomclone"
title="eCommerce Clone"
server="default-server"
location="webapp/ecomclone"
mount-point="/fr" <------- SPECIFY MOUNT
app-bar-display="false">
<init-param name="Locale" value="fr"/> <------- SPECIFY LOCALE
</webapp>
The below sitemap.xml would allow products with the "/fr" path to be indexed in
french.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9";>
<url><loc>http://ofbizsite.com/ecommerce/products/10002/p_1001TANGRAMPUZ</loc></url>
<url><loc>http://ofbizsite.com/fr/products/10002/p_1001TANGRAMPUZ</loc></url>
</urlset>
The patch:
The attached patch modifies setDefaultStoreSettings in ProductEvents.java,
which is called once during the initial session creation.
After a user enters the URL, they are still free to modify the language, as
long as the page supports it (like the default demo store). The patch also
allows the Currency to be forced as well, and it does appear to work, but
should be more throughly tested.
Although this patch bypasses the requirement for multiple stores, there may be
issues with other aspects of the store, like emails. However, it is no
different than a user who enters your English-based ecommerce store, selects
"french", and attempts a checkout.
