Magento 2 - Elgentos_BaseUrlPath

Allow setting up a base url in system config other than root.

If you want to add https://my.domain.tld/mypseronalurl/ after the baseurl Magento currently doesn't allow this. You are left with adding the storecode to the path or creating subdirectories with extra files.

This can get ugly if you just want to add language codes(other than locale-codes) to your domain, for example https://my.domain.tld/en/ and https://my.domain.tld/nl/

Installation: part 1 - Module via composer

Install the module via composer by running

composer require elgentos/module-baseurlpath

bin/magento module:enable Elgentos_BaseUrlPath
bin/magento cache:flush

Installation: part 2 - Nginx MAGE_RUN_CODE

Make sure you setup your MAGE_RUN_CODE mapping correctly. By default in Nginx this is only done based on $host name.

We will add the $request_uri to the mapping.

# https://{host}/{language}/{magento_request}/
# Most specific match goes first
map $host$request_uri $mageRunCode {
  hostnames;
  default default;
  ~other.domain.tld/nl/ other_nl;
  ~other.domain.tld other_en;
  ~my.domain.tld/en/ site_en;
  ~my.domain.tld site_nl;
}

# fastcgi section
fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_CODE $mageRunCode;

Nginx without mapping

Or if Nginx mapping isn't available for you.

# https://{host}/{language}/{magento_request}/
# Most specific match goes last
# this one is untested thought(sorry for that)

set $mageRunCode "default";
if ($host$request_uri ~ other.domain.tld/) {
    set $mageRunCode "other_en";
}
if ($host$request_uri ~ other.domain.tld/nl/) {
    set $mageRunCode "other_nl";
}
if ($host$request_uri ~ my.domain.tld/) {
    set $mageRunCode "site_nl";
}
if ($host$request_uri ~ my.domain.tld/en/) {
    set $mageRunCode "site_en";
}

Configuration

After installation goto Stores / Configuration -> General / Web -> Base URLs ((Un)Secure)

My strong advise setting these settings on website or store view level because making errors could potentially lock you out from the admin pages

Store 1: site_en

Update your base url to https://my.domain.tld/en/

Store 2: site_nl

Update your base url to https://my.domain.tld/nl/

Static content and media

To make static content work with these settings, you explicitly need to setup these paths to the root(/) of your site.
