[Articles] How can I link to a blog from other contexts?

Hello dear community,

I have successfully integrated the blog into my existing website with the help of the Articles plugin.

Since it is a multi-lingual site, I have 4 contexts, the blog container however sits only in the German context.

What i would like to do is have a reference to that blog container in each of the other contexts,
without having to switch contexts, so that going to »mywebsite.com/FR/blog« the user remains in the French context, but sees the content of »mywebsite.com/DE/blog«.

I have tried using a Symlink but it doesn't seem to fetch the blog's content.

I have been trying for hours, and I am normally not the first to post in a forum when things get complicated, but in this case I guess it would be helpful if somebody pointed me in the right direction.

Thanks, your help is very much appreciated.

Does anyone have a solution?

Hello,
It seams that I have a similar issue. I install Quip and Article on my multilanguage web site. And it does not work.
However, I installed it on a simple web site (1 language, no change on context) and it works.

I am wondering if the fact to modify the htacess and adding context make the issue.

Do you have an idea?
Did you solve your issue?

Cheers

This is exactly what my problem is now.. any solutions?

you will need a snippet or an output-filter, which rewrites the link to the current context-url and a plugin, which listens to onPageNotFound, which redirects to a extra blog-entry-page in the current context.
This blog-entry-page will need a snippet, which gets and returns the blog-entry-details.

duplicate contents !??

I found this link that kind of discusses how to do this... but it is still not clear for me:

I have a snippet that uses makeUrl on each blog entry link in the blog list. This url links to the blog-entry-page with the ID of the article. The blog-entry-page has a snippet that gets the id, then creates the resource array which then calls a chunk and displays the information from the blog article. That all works dandy.. the problem I am having is rewriting the URL with the pagetitle of the actual article and not the url blog-entry-page?id=x.

In this example there is no onPageNotFound error because the blog-entry-page exists....
