Return "/index.html" back to homepage url in non-default theme/language

[Alexander Obuhovich]

In http://tracker.in-portal.org/view.php?id=1075 (5.1.3) we've made, that homepage url doesn't include "/index.html" at the end.

This might seem good decision when website have only 1 theme or language.

But in case if website can have multiple themes/languages, then following links are created now:

• http://www.website.tld/sub-folder/another_theme.html (instead of  http://www.website.tld/sub-folder/another_theme/index.html)
• http://www.website.tld/sub-folder/another_language.html (instead of  http://www.website.tld/sub-folder/another_language/index.html)
• http://www.website.tld/sub-folder/another_language/another_theme.html (instead of  http://www.website.tld/sub-folder/another_language/another_theme/index.html)

Since we're trying to replicate actual folders on disk with these mod-rewrite urls, then removing /index.html from urls in different language/theme really breaks this concept.

P.S.

I remember we've discussed this somewhere, but can't seem to find corresponding discussion.

Here are semantics behind each of these urls:

• bad: http://www.website.tld/sub-folder/another_theme.html - show me "another_theme.html" document content
• good: http://www.website.tld/sub-folder/another_theme/index.html - show me "index.html" document of inside "another_theme" folder (which is theme, but this folder meaning is irrelevant in this example)
• bad: http://www.website.tld/sub-folder/another_language.html - show me "another_language.html" document content
• good: http://www.website.tld/sub-folder/another_language/index.html - show me "index.html" document of inside "another_language" folder (which is language, but this folder meaning is irrelevant in this example)

Main goal is to let user (or crawler) know what actual page he/it will get based on the url.

Hi Alex,

I follow your idea now. I think we should do it in 5.2.0 or 5.2.1 if lots of work.

Not much at all to fix. Since original 5.1.3 "sort-of-fix" was about 3 lines long.
