htaccess rewrite a get parameter - .htaccess

Question

I have already the Typo3 Flow .htaccess
#
# TYPO3 Flow context setting
#
# You can specify a default context by activating this option:
# SetEnv FLOW_CONTEXT Production
# If the root path is not the parent of the Web directory,
# TYPO3 Flow's root path must be specified manually:
# SetEnv FLOW_ROOTPATH /var/www/myapp/
#
# mod_rewrite configuration
#
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Enable URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On
# Set flag so we know URL rewriting is available
SetEnv FLOW_REWRITEURLS 1
# You will have to change the path in the following option if you
# experience problems while your installation is located in a subdirectory
# of the website root.
RewriteBase /
# Stop rewrite processing no matter if a package resource, robots.txt etc. exists or not
RewriteRule ^(_Resources/Packages/|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico) - [L]
# Stop rewrite process if the path points to a static file anyway
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]
# Perform rewriting of persistent private resources
RewriteRule ^(_Resources/Persistent/[a-zA-Z0-9]+/(.+/)?[a-f0-9]{40})/.+(\..+) $1$3 [L]
# Perform rewriting of persistent resource files
RewriteRule ^(_Resources/Persistent/.{40})/.+(\..+) $1$2 [L]
# Make sure that not existing resources don't execute TYPO3 Flow
RewriteRule ^_Resources/.* - [L]
# Continue only if the file/symlink/directory does not exist
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
# prevents Apache's automatic file negotiation, it breaks resource URLs
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
# Redirect authorization header when PHP is running as CGI
SetEnvIfNoCase Authorization "Basic ([a-zA-Z0-9\+/=]+)" REMOTE_AUTHORIZATION=$0
</IfModule>
ErrorDocument 500 "<h1>Application Error</h1><p>The TYPO3 Flow application could not be launched.</p>"
So i think this is the standard flow htaccess.
Is there a possibility to define own rules?
My htaccess skills are quite bad. What do i have to edit do replace a GET parameter
show?path=
My Domain looks like
http://domain.com/show?path=/test/test2
It should look like
http://domain.com/show/test/test2
thanks in advance, regards

Yes, you can extend .htaccess and if you have mod_proxy enabled adding this line should be enough (check what [P] flag does)
# Add this line
RewriteRule ^show/(.*)$ /show?path=/$1 [P]
# Continue only if the file/symlink/directory does not exist
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
But you should handle this kind of stuff using Routing - then you will have uri builder and rewriting handled by framework.
If your path is just string argument in showAction, ten adding to My/Package/Configuration/Routes.yaml (and setting subroutes in main Configuration/Routes.yaml above Flow subroutes)
-
name: 'show'
uriPattern: 'show/{path}'
defaults:
'#package': 'My.Package'
'#controller': 'Standard'
'#action': 'show'
'#format': 'html'
appendExceedingArguments: true
If it's property of object you have example in link above.
The only problem is that / in argument (like '/test/test2') won't work with route above.. To handle arguments containing / you might need to create your own Route Part Handler.
