Hi, there! (Note: I’m new so I can’t add links, so see domain as domain.com)
I’m running my blog in Ghost pro. It has 6 collections, each one with diferent topics related among them.
The structure was domain/collection/slug/ while all the content was focused in Chile. Now I’m expanding to Mexico and I need split content to domain/chile/ and domain/mexico/. I need the same collections in both countries, so 12 collections in total.
This is how my routes.yaml file looks like now (chile and mexico) 
routes:
/:
template: home
/rss/:
premalink: /rss/
template: app-rss
content_type: text/xml
/chile/:
permalink: /chile/
template: page-chile
data: page.chile
/mexico/:
permalink: /mexico/
template: page-mexico
data: page.mexico
collections:
/chile/collection-1/:
permalink: /chile/collection-1/{slug}/
filter: tag:collection-1+tag:hash-chile
template: index
data: page.chile-collection-1
/chile/collection-2/:
permalink: /chile/collection-2/{slug}/
filter: tag:collection-2+tag:hash-chile
template: index
data: page.chile-collection-2
/chile/collection-3/:
permalink: /chile/collection-3/{slug}/
filter: tag:collection-3+tag:hash-chile
template: index
data: page.chile-collection-3
/chile/collection-3/collection-4/:
permalink: /chile/collection-3/collection-4/{slug}/
filter: tag:collection-4+tag:hash-chile
template: index
data: page.chile-collection-4
/chile/collection-5/:
permalink: /chile/collection-5/{slug}/
filter: tag:collection-5+tag:hash-chile
template: index
data: page.chile-collection-5
/chile/collection-6/:
permalink: /chile/collection-6/{slug}/
filter: tag:collection-6+tag:hash-chile
template: index
data: page.chile-collection-6
/mexico/collection-1/:
permalink: /mexico/collection-1/{slug}/
filter: tag:hash-mexico+tag:collection-1
template: index
data: page.mexico-collection-1
/mexico/collection-2/:
permalink: /mexico/collection-2/{slug}/
filter: tag:hash-mexico+tag:collection-2
template: index
data: page.mexico-collection-2
/mexico/collection-3/:
permalink: /mexico/collection-3/{slug}/
filter: tag:hash-mexico+tag:collection-3
template: index
data: page.mexico-collection-3
/mexico/collection-3/clases/:
permalink: /mexico/collection-3/collection-4/{slug}/
filter: tag:hash-mexico+tag:collection-4
template: index
data: page.mexico-collection-4
/mexico/collection-5/:
permalink: /mexico/collection-5/{slug}/
filter: tag:hash-mexico+tag:collection-5
template: index
data: page.mexico-collection-5
/mexico/collection-6/:
permalink: /mexico/collection-6/{slug}/
filter: tag:hash-mexico+tag:collection-6
template: index
data: page.mexico-collection-6
taxonomies:
tag: /tag/{slug}/
author: /author/{slug}/
This way I can use #tags for filtering content in index.hbs and post.hbs templates and extend default.hbs with the correct partial for navigation, lang and hreflang blocks.
What I want with all this is having posts targeting chile and mexico for example domain/chile/collection-1/this-post/ and domain/mexico/collection-1/this-post/. And having posts just for one country Ex. domain/mexico/collection-3/post-just-for-mexico/
The two problems:
1.- After mexico was added the structure changed from domain/collection-1 to domain/chile/collection-1/ and domain/mexico/collection-1/ so I need a redirect from all urls to domain/chile/. Below is what I tried to do in redirect.json but I got a loop.
2.- If a post is going to both chile and mexico, I have to publish two versions of it, one with tag:collection-1 and tag:#chile and the other with tag:collection-1 and tag:#mexico, this make the first post go to domain/chile/collection-1/post/ and the second one go to domain/mexico/coleccion-1/post. This is perfect because I use #chile and #mexico to filter the hrefland for each post. The problem is the slug for second post, while I try to repeat it ghost adds a “-2” or “-n” which broke my code for hreflang.
I left here my code for hreflang and the code in redirects.json
code for filtering hreflang
(this e.g is for posts to chile but i have the same for posts to mexico. Before this. I’m filtering with #chile and #mexico. This code is used when the post has #chile)
{{#contentFor "hreflang"}}
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es-cl" href="{{@site.url}}{{url}}"/>
{{#has tag="collection-1"}}
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es-mx" href="{{@site.url}}/mexico/collection-1/{{slug}}"/>
{{else has tag="collection-2"}}
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es-mx" href="{{@site.url}}/mexico/collection-2/{{slug}}"/>
{{else has tag="collection-3"}}
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es-mx" href="{{@site.url}}/mexico/collection-3/{{slug}}"/>
{{else has tag="collection-4"}}
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es-mx" href="{{@site.url}}/mexico/collection-4/{{slug}}"/>
{{else has tag="collection-5"}}
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es-mx" href="{{@site.url}}/mexico/collection-5/{{slug}}"/>
{{else has tag="collection-6"}}
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es-mx" href="{{@site.url}}/mexico/collection-6/{{slug}}"/>
{{/has}}

Thanks a lot for your help.
