unable to edit link

[earthpulse]

Hi,

I'm not able to edit the link for a button on a page (points to external website)

Any idea why? I am able to change other links but not that one

the external website is a shop. we need to change the link in language page so it points to the french language version of the shop.

Regards,
Sid

Hi,

You cannot edit external links. If you want to change the link depending on the selected language you will need to program it on your side. You can check $_SERVER['HTTP_X_GT_LANG'] variable to detect selected language and depending on it change the link.

Thanks!

hi edvard,

can you tell me how to set that up.
All i can understand it involves the .htaccess file?

[Edvard]

You need to find the source file where you add the link and add PHP script to check the language and show correct link.

It requires some basic PHP knowledge. This can be an example of code, you may consult with your developer:

Code: Select all

<?php
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_GT_LANG']) and $_SERVER['HTTP_X_GT_LANG'] == 'fr')
    echo '<a target="_blank" href="http://fr.sleep-tech.com"><img src="new-art/ia-up.png"></a>';
else
    echo '<a target="_blank" href="http://sleep-tech.com"><img src="new-art/ia-up.png"></a>';
?>

hi
im the developer so..i'll have to do it myself.

the website currently is HTML.
Should i simply add the code u sent me to the HTML pages? will that work?
i am also developing the same website in wordpress at the moment. In that case can i add that code to the footer?

any idea how to get it to work?

hi again

i noticed i am able to edit the other buttons link which is also an external link, but not the i agree button. all other external links seem editable without changing the domain name. in this case too the buttons link i want to change will only need edit after the domain name
from
https://sleep-tech.com
to
https://sleep-tech.com/?___store=fr

Hi,

I have already provided enough code, so you can make it work. I cannot tell exactly where or what you need to edit, since I do not know anything about your system.

If you want I can do the customization for you for additional payment. You can contact me on [email protected].

Thanks!

hi edvard

i used .htaccess file on the website where i needed the redirection as per language

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*xxx.org.*$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*yyy.org.*$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*zzz.com.*$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*aaa.net.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://your_site/different_page/

this worked easily. u can recommend this to others as well

cheers

[earthpulse]

found one more way to do this (since outgoing links to other domains were not customizable)

create en.htm (with meta redirect to the english versin of our other website)
fr.htm (with meta .. to fr version of our other domain site)

now its possible to change links to external sites for different languages without messing .htaccess or php

cheers
