Magento - Force store code extension
====================================

[](#magento---force-store-code-extension)

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

Activating "Add Store Code to Urls" in Magento back office will let your main URL available, even without store code.

This extension checks, only for the home page, if the store code is in URL. If it is not, it redirects (301) to "base URL + current website's default store view code".

This extensions does only manage home page, not internal pages, because for them, Magento automatically adds store code in URL.
