Magento 1.7 enabling store code URL rewrite bug in frontend and backend

 

 

In Magento 1.7 and earlier versions, when you enable the “Add Store Code to Urls” feature in Configuration->Web panel there are two minor bugs that affect your web store.

1. Changing language (store view) in frontend produce a 404 error
2. Download links of product options file in backend does not work: redirect you to dashboard page

Solutions:

1. Modify this file: /app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Url/Rewrite.php around line 252comment line:

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

   and substitute with this code:

               if (Mage::getStoreConfig('web/url/use_store') && $storeCode = Mage::app()->getStore()->getCode()) {
                 $targetUrl = $request->getBaseUrl(). '/' . Mage::app()->getStore()->getCode() . '/' . $this->getRequestPath(); } 
               else
                 $targetUrl = $request->getBaseUrl(). '/' . $this->getRequestPath();

2. Modify this file: /app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Product/Option/Type/File.php around line 526comment line:

   //$this->_getOptionDownloadUrl($urlRoute, $urlParams),

   and subsitute with this code:

                 str_replace("index.php/admin", ONE_OF_YOUR_STORE_CODE,
                             $this->_getOptionDownloadUrl($urlRoute, $urlParams)),

   I’m using Magento 1.7.0.2 and in my rewrite.php and file.php files I can’t find the code that we have to modify…
   What can I do?

     Hi Carlos, you have to search the lines of code we posted without the two initial comment slashes

   Works like a charm in 1.7.0.2, only used the first solution. It is at line 252 in the file.
