Hi @SKAUGHT
Did you find any reason for the different behaviour of version 4.0.0 from version 4.0.3? Because today I tried again to install the dev version and I still experience the fact that the links to the homepage show the extra path of the custom view specified as new frontpage in the basic settings.
I would like to update to the newest version but for the moment I had to revert to 4.0.0.
Thanks!
I ran into the same issue with version 4.0.0 on D10 and php8.1 and applied this patch successfully.
Thanks @weseze
I didn't ask this before either --> this module is the ONLY thing you've updated for this difference?
I ran a general composer update which updated many modules and core from 10.0.4 to 10.0.7.
In fact, I still have the terminal window open, so I can attach it for you to review.
What I seem to experience, though, is that if I revert only Drowpdown Language to version 4.0.0 the alias url is different. This is what I've been doing and that seems to result in having /search-sc as path (4.0.3) or / (4.0.0) for the English or /it/search-sc and /it for Italian.
I guess this happens only if a different View Page from the default Frontpage View is set in the Basic Settings of the website.
I tried installing the -dev version and it seems to behave the same as v4.0.3.
I agree with you that it seems a bit strange for a minor version update do change something like a core functionality of the module. Am I making some silly mistake??
Yes, /search-sc is a View Page with path /search-sc.
Ok, I might think to create a node and duplicate the View Page into a View Block and place it on the node.
What is strange, though, is that v4.0.0 of the module works without any workarounds. So, for the moment is my quickest option.
Thanks!
Hi @SKAUGHT,
Thanks for your reply. Sorry I wasn't clear.
Both images, v4.0.3 and v4.0.0, are taken from the homepage. This website consists of just one page that shows the results of a search action performed by the user (initially the last three results when no search has been performed yet).
The view that shows the results has path "/search-sc". Maybe it could have been used the default frontpage view for this but it was not clear at the time if there might have been some other content to be shown there. So what was done was modifying the page to be show as frontpage in the basic settings.
Version 4.0.3 of the Dropdown Language module takes me to the page www.example.com/search-sc whereas the version 4.0.0 takes me to / which is the result I want because I don't want the user to navigate other pages than the homepage and I don't want that url to be shown.
Maybe I'm missing some settings... For the moment I reverted to the 4.0.0 version.
This is the screenshot of the homepage with the exposed filters to perform the search and the dropdown language block.
Thanks a lot for your time!
