[V4] UUID permalinks still redirect to default language page

[dviate]

Since #5551 got closed and it's still not functioning as desired, here's a follow-up for this issue, which is bugging me in Kirby 4.5.0.

---

I was just playing around with this new feature, but apparently it doesn't work as expected as it brings the visitor to a 404 page. When I'm adding a link to another page, no matter in which language for a page I'm working, the current language is added to the a.

So, for instance, when I'm working in NL the HTML based on a UUID looks like <a href="/nl/@/page/HlyrsG30ZVPXPd9F">hallo</a> and when I'm working on a Spanish translation, it adds es to the URL so that it looks like <a href="/es/@/page/HlyrsG30ZVPXPd9F">hola</a>. The weird thing is, it works well in the non default language, but a UUID-based link that also contains the default language prefix, leads to a 404.

This HTML can also be found in the accompanying .txt file in the content folder; it appears that the link creator in the panel adds the country prefix to the URL which results in errors, since a link without a language prefix, like <a href="/@/page/HlyrsG30ZVPXPd9F">hello</a> works fine.

Not adding the language prefix via the panel when a user is editing something in the default language should do the trick here?

@dviate Please share your languages setup/config as well.

NL, in my test setup the main language:

<?php
return [
    'code' => 'nl',
    'default' => true,
    'direction' => 'ltr',
    'locale' => 'nl_NL',
    'name' => 'Nederlands',
    'url' => '/',
    'translations' => [

*etc*

ES, one of the test languages:

<?php
return [
    'code' => 'es',
    'default' => false,
    'direction' => 'ltr',
    'locale' => 'es_ES',
    'name' => 'Español',
    'url' => '/es',
    'translations' => [

*etc*

and just to make sure, also EN:

<?php
return [
    'code' => 'en',
    'default' => false,
    'direction' => 'ltr',
    'locale' => 'en_US',
    'name' => 'English',
    'url' => '/en',
    'translations' => [

*etc*

I'm having that problem as well. Want to share an easy workaround by adding a route to config.php

[
        'pattern' => '/de/@/page/(:all)',
        'action' => function ($uuid) {
            return go('page://' . $uuid);
        }
    ]

That maybe won't cover all cases but helped me for now.

This looks interesting as a temporary fix, @hansipete! This snippet is only meant to be used once, for the default language, in your case de (German)?

[hansipete]

Sorry, I never answered this one: Yes – in my case the default language is de and the configured url in config/languages/de.php is 'url' => '/'

I found that the language code is added to the link from the Writer Link Dialog:

kirby/panel/src/components/Dialogs/LinkDialog.vue

Line 66 in 7cee656

permalink = "/" + window.panel.language.code + permalink;

The produced links will only work when the language url is identical to the language code?

Same here!
Here's the config.

<?php

return [
    "code" => "fr",
    "default" => true,
    "direction" => "ltr",
    "locale" => [
        "LC_ALL" => "fr_CA"
    ],
    "name" => "Français",
    "url" => '/'
];

Currently I'm only seeing the issue with the Writer field (but that might be anecdotical).
