Feature Request: i18n `prefix_except_default` strategy about strapi-plugin-sitemap

[boazpoolman]

I'll take that in consideration!

So, I'm seeing two topics here.

You have an issue with duplicate forward slashes.
Weirdly enough, because there is code in place to remove those, see: https://github.com/boazpoolman/strapi-plugin-sitemap/blob/master/server/services/pattern.js#L140C79-L140C79
If you can write up a new issue about that with proper steps to reproduce I can take a look at that.

For the prefix_except_default feature. You should allready be able to do this, but with a slightly different strategy.
You can create different patterns for different locales.

So the EN pattern would be /blog/[id]
And then you would have another pattern for ES, which would be /[locale]/blog/[id]. Or even /es/blog/[id] should do.

Does that work for you?

@boazpoolman thx for answering, so...

Well, it is still to come to this (if the option to make locale empty by default is developed), because by default locale cannot be `` empty. By the way, this is an idea.

So the EN pattern would be /blog/[id] And then you would have another pattern for ES, which would be /[locale]/blog/[id]. Or even /es/blog/[id] should do.

Yes I thought about that, but when ~20 languages is it worth it to manually do it for each one separately? if there was an exception option.

About the double slashes; I'm still not quite sure how this is happening.
Please create another issue and follow the issue template, providing me with steps to reproduce.

About this issue (#158), in the case of 20 languages you could just make one generic URL pattern, and create a single one for a specific language. That second pattern will then override the generic one.

[reslear]

No concerns about the double slashes; originally, I anticipated a potential issue down the road, especially if there were plans to develop an empty default language. However, the code already addresses this scenario.

To streamline, might want to contemplate incorporating a boolean setting such as "replace default language with empty value."

ok, and I'll try this, as it looks like a potentially working workaround

[reslear]

Yes you are right this setup is overwritten and works as expected. Thank you

[boazpoolman]

Great! I'll close this issue then.
