One locale to multiple hosts

[andrzejdziekonski]

Is it possible to have application working with multiple domains for one locale? I mean:

jms_i18n_routing:
    default_locale: en
    locales: [en, de]
    strategy: custom
    hosts:
        en: [mydomain.com, otherdomain.com]
        de: mydomain.de
    redirect_to_host: false

I need my application to run for two smiliar in code but different content websites. They are in same language, use same image uploads and the same database so i want them to work in one application. Is it possible with this bundle? Of course not by default, but has anybody found solution?

Are you able to use different parameters.yml files for each site? That would solve your problem I guess.

May be need support for default locale for each domain too, for example:

example.be -> default locale: fr
example.fr -> default locale: fr
example.com -> default locale: en

Only one default locale for all domains is not possible, each domain have their own default locale

.be -> fr
.cat -> ca
.com -> en
.es -> es
.fr -> fr
.it -> it
.pt -> pt
etc...

Many parameters per machine/domain/site is not a solution...

I would also need something like this, so I can have several hosts in dev mode (one for local, and one for preprod server for instance). Any solution like an array or something ?

Hi @picks44,

i managed that by using 'fake' locales e.i. 'en1', 'en2', 'en3' so i have one host to one locale as the bundle needs. Then i wrote some event listener that overwrites those fakes to proper one. Kinda tricky but didnt find any better solution for this one.

OK I see, I had something similar at first when i was working with prefixes. I'll try it thanks.

@andrzejdziekonski or @picks44 could you guys give a detailed example on how to achieve this please? I would like my root domain (/) to have the same content as /en

We solve this with BeSimpleI18nRoutingBundle and works fine, our config:

# @ParclickWebsiteBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml
routing_parclick.be:
    resource: "@ParclickWebsiteBundle/Resources/config/routing_parclick.be.yml"
    host:     "%subdomain%parclick.be"
    requirements:
        _locale: de_BE|fr_BE
    type: be_simple_i18n

routing_parclick.cat:
    resource: "@ParclickWebsiteBundle/Resources/config/routing_parclick.cat.yml"
    host:     "%subdomain%parclick.cat"
    requirements:
        _locale: ca_ES
    type: be_simple_i18n

routing_parclick.com:
    resource: "@ParclickWebsiteBundle/Resources/config/routing_parclick.com.yml"
    host:     "%subdomain%parclick.com"
    requirements:
        _locale: en_GB
    type: be_simple_i18n

# etc...

And:

# @ParclickWebsiteBundle/Resources/config/routing_parclick.be.yml
home:
    locales:  { fr_BE: "/", de_BE: "/de/" }
    defaults: { _controller: ParclickWebsiteBundle:Home:index }
    methods:  [GET]

search:
    locales:  { fr_BE: "/search", de_BE: "/de/search" }
    defaults: { _controller: ParclickWebsiteBundle:Search:index }
    methods:  [GET]

city:
    locales:  { fr_BE: "/parking-{city}", de_BE: "/de/parking-{city}" }
    defaults: { _controller: ParclickWebsiteBundle:City:index }
    methods:  [GET]

# etc...

And we use each domain only for their locales configured.

You can copy same locales between domains.

NOTE 1: The locale prefix is NEVER used in our generated URLs, is only used for building URLs, for example if we need to build a URL with internal locale "de_BE" we not put the locale as prefix in the URL, we fake a more apropiate prefix (/en/) to the URL and works fine.

For parclick.be -> locale fr_BE (French): url /parking-123
For parclick.be -> locale de_BE (Deutch): url /de/parkeren-123

One application, one config, one parameters, all domains.

Hope this help someone.

Thanks for the answer @tecnocat ! I will try your solution.

[picks44]

Still no other other simpler solution ?
