Dynamic value for redirect page property

  • May 3, 2022

We're builfing multi country/language sites. On one of the page templates, under initial page properties / Advanced, we set Redirect property to us/english site, for example, /content/site/us/en/homepage.

When creating page for another country / language using that template we would like redirect property to be dynamically  changed to context of that country/lang, for example, /content/site/be/fr/homepage.

 

Thank you

RewriteRule ^/content/site/be/fr.html$ /content/site/be/fr/homepage.html [PT,NE,L]

Hi,

We can achieve this using event listener when jcr:content node is created/updated event can be triggered 

 

Ex: https://aemhints.com/2020/11/08/event-listener-in-aem-6-5/

    Thank you,

     

    I was thinking about that but I'm not sure if my use case applies to rewrite on dispatcher level.

     

    For example, if on the dispatcher I got request to redirect to default redirect path which is set on the template level "/content/site/us/en/homepage"

    1. Dispatcher gets url "/content/site/us/en/homepage"

    2. On the dispatcher I need to determine what's my current country/lang site, for example "/be/fr/", is that possible  ?

    3. I need to extract "be/fr" from current context.

    4. Replace, "us/en" with "be/fr"

     

    I'm not sure If got this correct.

      Hi,

      set this redirect at apache/dispatcher level, no need to process a page for just redirect and make a load on publish instance.
