在Magento 1.7中直接从其他商店语言链接时，产品URL会返回404错误

Question

My magento store has 3 languages. If someone links me a product from the "English" store view for example, and I'm on the "Spanish" store view, that product returns a 404 error.

So far in my investigation I've found this blog, but I'm currently trying to understand where that code goes. I understand it's in the file /app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Url/Rewrite.php but I can't figure out where exactly in that file I should add that code snippet.

And I ain't even certain that will solve my problem.

Edit:

Ok, I've found this link: http://freegento.com/doc/db/d5d/_url_2_rewrite_8php-source.html

According to this, my file should have something similar to what I saw in the blog above, unfortunately, the function loadByRequestPath on my file is different and it goes like this:

/**
 * Load rewrite information for request
 * If $path is array - we must load possible records and choose one matching earlier record in array
 *
 * @param   mixed $path
 * @return  Mage_Core_Model_Url_Rewrite
 */
public function loadByRequestPath($path)
{

    $this->setId(null);
    $this->_getResource()->loadByRequestPath($this, $path);
    $this->_afterLoad();
    $this->setOrigData();
    $this->_hasDataChanges = false;
    return $this;
}

Ok, that was quick! I solved my problem by replacing the loadByRequestPath located in the file /app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Url/Rewrite.php to this:

public function loadByRequestPath($path)
     {
         $this->setId(null);

         if (is_array($path)) {
             foreach ($path as $pathInfo) {
                 $this->load($pathInfo, 'request_path');
                    if (!$this->getId() && !isset($_GET['___from_store'])) {
                    $db = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('default_read');
                    $result = $db->query('select store_id from core_url_rewrite WHERE request_path = "' . $pathInfo . '"');
                    if ($result) {
                        $storeIds = array();
                        if($row = $result->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
                            $storeId = $row['store_id'];
                            $storeCode = Mage::app()->getStore($storeId)->getCode();

                            header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
                            header("Location: http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/" . $pathInfo . "?___store=" . $storeCode);
                            exit();
                        }
                    }
                }
             }
         }
         else {
             $this->load($path, 'request_path');
         }
         return $this;
     }

Don't forget to make a local copy if you don't want any problems when upgrading Magento.
