Hi.
I use 2 languages.
How can I return to my Home page, when I switch my language's icons.
Where can I change the code?
Thank you.

Hello everybody.
Does anyone have an idea?
When I switch languages, I need return to main (home) page.
Best regards...

Why?

If I'm looking at a particular product in one language, and I want to view *that* product in another language, and click the language link, if you return me to the home page, then I have to go find that product all over again. I'll probably close your site and go find another that's more friendly and usable.

What specific business problem are you thinking you'll solve by changing the way it's designed to work?

Thank you for your reply.
I do not have the same products (categories) in both languages. Different products for different languages (countries).
When a customer uses one language, switch language to another, he returns to the home page on another language with other products.

/includes/init_includes/overrides/init_languages.php
add a new line as shown:

Code:

  if (isset($_GET['language']) && zen_not_null($_GET['language'])) {
    $lng->set_language($_GET['language']);
    zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', $request_type));
  } else {

Thank you. I add new line.
I can return to home page, but...
Now I can use only one language and I can open my store only on one language. And how about second language?
My site :www.bookpolka.com

Try this instead:

Code:

if (!isset($_SESSION['language']) || isset($_GET['language'])) {
  $lng = new language();
  if (isset($_GET['language']) && zen_not_null($_GET['language'])) {
    $lng->set_language($_GET['language']);
    $redir = ($_SESSION['language'] != $_GET['language']);
  } else {
    if (LANGUAGE_DEFAULT_SELECTOR=='Browser') {
      $lng->get_browser_language();
    } else {
      $lng->set_language(DEFAULT_LANGUAGE);
    }
  }
  $_SESSION['language'] = (zen_not_null($lng->language['directory']) ? $lng->language['directory'] : 'english');
  $_SESSION['languages_id'] = (zen_not_null($lng->language['id']) ? $lng->language['id'] : 1);
  $_SESSION['languages_code'] = (zen_not_null($lng->language['code']) ? $lng->language['code'] : 'en');
  if ($redir) {
    zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', $request_type));
  }
}
