Language switching problem

    Hello,

    I am using YAMS (latest version, 1.1.9) on a MODx site (1.0.2). Last year everything was fine, but in the mean-time, something went wrong and I cannot see what. The site displays the default language (English), all pages in this language are fine, but switching to the other two languages gives a 404 error. Plugin execution order is fine at the OnParseDocument (first YAMS, then PHx)

    The url is www.theeventor.ro. The .htaccess is below.

    Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Fix Apache internal dummy connections from breaking [(site_url)] cache
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*internal\ dummy\ connection.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

# Exclude /assets and /manager directories from rewrite rules
RewriteRule ^(manager|assets) - [L]

# For Friendly URLs
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^en/(.*)$ index.php?q=$1&yams_lang=en [L,QSA]
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ro/(.*)$ index.php?q=$1&yams_lang=ro [L,QSA]
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^fr/(.*)$ index.php?q=$1&yams_lang=fr [L,QSA]
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]


    Anyone can help me find the problem? Any other info available on request.

      Hi,

      maybe you could try this in your htaccess (the way YAMS currently generate htaccess)

      Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Fix Apache internal dummy connections from breaking [(site_url)] cache
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*internal\ dummy\ connection.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

# Exclude /assets and /manager directories from rewrite rules
RewriteRule ^(manager|assets) - [L]

RewriteRule ^en$ en/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^ro$ fr/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^fr$ fr/ [R=301,L]

# For Friendly URLs
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^en/(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ro/(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^fr/(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
