ig_language_detection's Issues

[Bug] TYPO3 v10: Middleware Position & Redirects

The language redirect should be done after custom redirects are handled. Currently that's not the case in v10, even with Feature „Rearranged redirect midlewares“ activated.

Composer package

Are there any plans to add provide this as a composer package?

Keep up the good work.

Position of middleware should be changed

If you're using the core redirects module you will get trouble with your redirects because the language redirect is done before the redirects of the redirect module.
I prefer to do my redirects to the wanted target page before the language redirect is done.
A pull request will follow.

Please add package to packagist and update TER versions

Could you please tag the versions on Github and publish the extension to Packagist?
