Magento – Magento 2: Remove Store Code in URL only for default store

magento2multistoreurl

We run a magento 2 multistore in 2 langauges where default store view is german. Online shop is also available in french. Store code is added to URLs like the following:

www.domain.at
www.domain.at/de
www.domain.at/fr

When it comes to SEO we have the problem of duplicate content because the default store is available with AND without store code in URL. The following urls show the same content: 

www.domain.at/de  
www.domain.at/

In fact we need same behavior like here for magento 1: Magento remove "default" store code from urls

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Best Answer

  1. Create new module in Vendor/HideDefaultStoreCode

registration.php

<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
    'Vendor_HideDefaultStoreCode',
    __DIR__
);

etc/module.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="Vendor_HideDefaultStoreCode" setup_version="0.1.0" />
</config>
  1. Add an option to the admin panel

etc/adminhtml/system.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Config:etc/system_file.xsd">
    <system>
        <section id="web">
            <group id="url">
                <field id="hide_default_store_code" translate="label" type="select" sortOrder="100" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1" canRestore="1">
                    <label>Hide Default Store Code</label>
                    <source_model>Magento\Config\Model\Config\Source\Yesno</source_model>
                </field>
            </group>
        </section>
    </system>
</config>

Default option value is No

etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Store:etc/config.xsd">
    <default>
        <web>
            <url>
                <hide_default_store_code>0</hide_default_store_code>
            </url>
        </web>
    </default>
</config>
  1. Add helper

Helper/Data.php

<?php
namespace Vendor\HideDefaultStoreCode\Helper;

class Data extends \Magento\Framework\App\Helper\AbstractHelper
{
    const XML_PATH_HIDE_DEFAULT_STORE_CODE = 'web/url/hide_default_store_code';

    /**
     *
     * @var \Magento\Framework\App\Config\ScopeConfigInterface
     */
    protected $scopeConfig;

    /**
     *
     * @param \Magento\Framework\App\Helper\Context $context
     * @param \Magento\Framework\App\Config\ScopeConfigInterface $scopeConfig
     */
    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\App\Helper\Context $context,
        \Magento\Framework\App\Config\ScopeConfigInterface $scopeConfig
    ) {
        parent::__construct($context);
        $this->scopeConfig = $scopeConfig;
    }

    /**
     *
     * @return boolean
     */
    public function isHideDefaultStoreCode()
    {
        if ($this->scopeConfig->getValue(self::XML_PATH_HIDE_DEFAULT_STORE_CODE, \Magento\Store\Model\ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE)) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}
  1. Create after-plugin

etc/di.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <type name="Magento\Store\Model\Store">
        <plugin name="vendor_hide_default_store_code" type="\Vendor\HideDefaultStoreCode\Plugin\Model\HideDefaultStoreCode" sortOrder="0" />
    </type>
</config>

Plugin/Model/HideDefaultStoreCode.php

<?php

namespace Vendor\HideDefaultStoreCode\Plugin\Model;

class HideDefaultStoreCode
{
    /**
     *
     * @var \Vendor\HideDefaultStoreCode\Helper\Data 
     */
    protected $helper;

    /**
     *
     * @var \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface
     */
    protected $storeManager;

    /**
     * 
     * @param \Vendor\HideDefaultStoreCode\Helper\Data $helper
     * @param \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager
     */
    public function __construct(
        \Vendor\HideDefaultStoreCode\Helper\Data $helper,
        \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager
    ){
        $this->helper = $helper;
        $this->storeManager = $storeManager;
    }

    /**
     * 
     * @param \Magento\Store\Model\Store $subject
     * @param string $url
     * @return string
     */
    public function afterGetBaseUrl(\Magento\Store\Model\Store $subject, $url)
    {
        if ($this->helper->isHideDefaultStoreCode()) {
            $url = str_replace('/'.$this->storeManager->getDefaultStoreView()->getCode().'/','/', $url);
        }
        return $url;
    }
}
