Magento 2.2 – Fix Store View Switch After Upgrade

magento2.2magento2.2.0store-switcherstore-view

Since I have upgraded my website to Magento 2.2.0 (from 2.1.9), the store view switch stopped working on all the pages save for the homepage and the contact page.

I have 2 store views for 2 languages, and whenever I am on a page and I try to switch to the other language version of that page, I get a 404.

How to make this switcher work again?

As @mkotov writes.. the issue is tracked and solved.

For now, if you want, you could go in

magento2/app/code/Magento/Store/Model/Store.php (Magento installation by Github)

vendor/magento/module-store/Model/Store.php (Magento installation by composer)

and replace the second row in

public function getCurrentUrl($fromStore = true)

$requestString = $this->_url->escape(ltrim($this->_request->getRequestString(), '/'));

with

$requestString = $this->_url->escape(
    preg_replace(
        '/\?.*?$/',
        '',
        ltrim($this->_request->getRequestString(), '/')
    )
);

Magento 1.7 – Fix 404 on Store Switch with Product Store View Scoped URL Key

The problem is a bug in the model Mage_Core_Model_Url_Rewrite_Request (Magento 1.8) and Mage_Core_Model_Url_Rewrite (earlier versions).

The section of core code in 1.8 looks like this:

    // Section from Mage_Core_Model_Url_Rewrite_Request::_rewriteDb()

    $fromStore = $this->_request->getQuery('___from_store');
    if (!$this->_rewrite->getId() && $fromStore) {
        $stores = $this->_app->getStores();
        if (!empty($stores[$fromStore])) {
            $store = $stores[$fromStore];
            $fromStoreId = $store->getId();
        } else {
            return false;
        }

The Bug: the value of the query parameter is the store code, (in my case de, en or fr). The keys of the array returned by app->getStores() are the numeric store IDs. Thats why if (!empty($stores[$fromStore])) { always fails.

Once that bug is fixed, another bug becomes apparent later in the same method (I think only in 1.8):

$targetUrl = $this->_request->getBaseUrl() . '/' . $this->_rewrite->getRequestPath();

The request objects base url always is the Magento base_url, without the store code. Using $currentStore->getBaseUrl() instead there fixes that bug, too.

Once those two issues are fixed the language switcher works fine. Here is an extension which does exactly that for Magento 1.8 (CE): https://github.com/Vinai/VinaiKopp_StoreUrlRewrites

In Magento 1.7 the issue might be something different. I still thought I'd add this answer, just in case google brings somebody else here who is running 1.8 or newer.

Magento – Magento2.2 language switching not working on catalog pages

In order to update the language on your catalog pages, from the admin side, you have to update the attribute values of your categories and products depending on the corresponding storeview.

For example, to change the language-attribute values of the category named Bags, go to Admin=>Catalog=>Catagories, click on the category named Bags and then change the Store View to your required storeview from the available store views list and provide appropriate values for your category attributes.

Clear cache and check your front-end category page. Same way ,make the changes for your products also.
