Link to products page with filter in different languages

Hi There,

Our customer wants to have 4 links on their homepage that will link to the product page with a predefined filter.

I cannot get this to work for multiple languages. If I define the link /products?Productline=%5BMasterline%5D I get a 404 because the "english" part is missing from the URL.

Ofcourse if I hard code the link to /english/products?Productline=%5BMasterline%5D the link works but always directs me to the english page, even if I am on a different langiuage version of the homepage...

So how would I be able to define a "language independent" link?

Thanks,

Justin

Using Default.aspx?ID=123&restofparms=somevalues instead of full urls (which is never recommended). Of course then the pageid has to be different from language to language. Could be a setting if you are using a custom item type. Dynamicweb will rename the link automatically to its friendly version if in an a-tag using href attribute.

If you are making the links in the template, you can do like this:

Get the productlist page id in Swift from a razor template: GetPageIdByNavigationTag("Shop")

GetPageIdByNavigationTag is a method on the razor template base class.

In code you can do like this:

Url = "/Default.aspx?ID=" + GetPageIdByNavigationTag("Shop") + "&GroupID=" + string.Join(",", groupIds).Trim(),

Or add whatever parameters you want.

Thanks, that works, ofcourse I am very lazy so I was hoping for a way to set it once on the master, and use the language automatically :-)

One thing that is a bit confusing for the content editor is the UI shows the link is invalid:
