Change only browser URL via htaccess - .htaccess

I spent some hours looking for an answer via google and on here and I can't seem to get this to work
This is my URL:
http://mysite.co.uk/joomla30/landing-page-register?&tmpl=component
I simply want the ?&tmple=component removed in the browser URL only as the query at the end needs to be there at the server end but the browser would show.
http://mysite.co.uk/joomla30/landing-page-register
I have tried about 20 ways of doing this but I cant seem to get it to work I currently have
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^landing-page-register$ /joomla30/landing-page-register? &tmpl=component [L]
htaccess is enabled as I already use it change a few .php files and redirect incoming traffic from warez sites, I just cant get this to work.
Thanks, Paul.

Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /joomla30/landing-page-register\?\&tmpl=component
RewriteRule ^ /joomla30/landing-page-register? [L,R]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^landing-page-register$ /joomla30/landing-page-register?&tmpl=component [L]

Redirect already SEO friendly URL to another SEO friendly URL externally using .htaccess

Part of my .htaccess code is as follows:
RewriteRule ^([A-Z]+)*$ nextlevels_state.php?state=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([A-Z]+)*/([0-9]+)$ nextlevels_state.php?state=$1&page=$2 [NC]
This basically redirects URL, example.com/XX to example.com/nextlevels_state.php?state=XX and example.com/XX/1 to example.com/nextlevels_state.php?state=XX&page=1 (internally).
Now, I would like to change the URL structure of the URL from example.com/XX to example.com/nextlevels/XX and example.com/XX/1 to example.com/nextlevels/XX/1
and I tried changing .htaccess to as follows:
RewriteRule ^nextlevels/([A-Z]+)*$ nextlevels_state.php?state=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^nextlevels/([A-Z]+)*/([0-9]+)$ nextlevels_state.php?state=$1&page=$2 [NC]
However, as the site urls are already indexed in search engines, I would like to know a way to redirect all the traffic from example.com/XX to example.com/nextlevels/XX (externally) using .htaccess .
Please guide me in this regard. Thank you community :)
Could you please try following, written and tested with shown samples only(improving your already done attempts here). Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
##Rule for redirect to url example.com/nextlevels/XX.
RewriteRule ^([A-Z]+)$ nextlevels/$1 [R=301]
RewriteRule ^nextlevels/([A-Z]+)/?$ nextlevels_state.php?state=$1 [NC,L]
##Rule for redirect to url example.com/nextlevels/XX/1.
RewriteRule ^([A-Z]+)*/([0-9]+)$ nextlevels/$1/$2 [R=301]
RewriteRule ^nextlevels/([A-Z]+)*/([0-9]+)$ nextlevels_state.php?state=$1&page=$2 [NC,L]

How to rewrite url for certain pages in htaccess?

I am trying to show different url and redirect users to specific url with .htcaccess when they click on a blog post but to no avail.
Lets say the url is: http://localhost/mySite/article.php?article_title=test-title
then I would like to show it as http://localhost/mySite/article/test-title
This is my current htcaccess file:
#turn on url rewriting
RewriteEngine on
#remove the need for .php extention
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
#rewrite rule for blog
RewriteRule article/([A-Za-z0-9-]+) /mySite/article.php?article_title=$1
But for some reason it is not redirecting/showing the correct url. I am not getting any errors.
EDIT
Trying to ask my question again and explain it better. Let's say the url is
http://localhost/www.example.com/admin/editUser.php?user_id=126
and I would like to rewrite the url like this:
http://localhost/www.example.com/admin/user/126
then how can I achieve this. I tried using this website to check the modified url but it does not work. Seems like it does not work with any of the accepted answers here in stack at all.
This is my htaccess file atm. It is in the root of www.example.com
#turn on url rewriting
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^user/([0-9]+)/?$ /editUser.php?user_id=$1 [NC,L] # Handle user edit requests
Apache Module mod_rewrite is enabled. Also added an alias. Still no changes in the url. If I try something really basic like this:
# redirect to .php-less link if requested directly
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\s.+\.php\sHTTP/.+
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php $1 [R=301,L]
it works fine.
Why is the users redirect not working? What am I doing wrong.
Try it like this for your rule for article url in mysite directory.
RewriteRule ^article/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ article.php?article_title=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
you need to mention start ^ and end $ of string.

.htaccess redirect in drupal that excludes node edit page

Currently I have the following htaccess redirect rule that detects any path that looks like
mysite.com/node/xxx and redirects it to a .php script that, in turn, finds the URL of the page and redirects the user to it (e.g. mysite.com/page/page.html)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(page=(31|1))?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^node/?$ /? [L,NC,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(../)?node/([0-9]+)$ noderedirect.php?nid=$2 [L]
What I want, however, is that also when user accesses
mysite.com/node
or
mysite.com/node?page=xxx
they get redirected to the main page
BUT
when they access
mysite.com/node/xxx/edit
the rule doesn't get activated.
I tried several options (stopping at the one above) and so far I have this, but it still enables users to access mysite.com/node?page=xxx (all the other conditions are working fine.
Can somebody help?
I just want it to go to that page, and not to do anything. but when it's /node/xxx or /node or /node?page=xxx i want it to redirect to noderedirect.php
If you want it to always go to the noderedirect, then try:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+node\?page=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^ /node/%1? [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^node/?$ /noderedirect.php [L]
RewriteRUle ^node/([0-9]+)/? /noderedirect.php?nid=$1 [L]

Redirect /index.php from the end of the URL

Have a website with subpages all in this format:
mydomain.com/something
That's fine. But what is NOT fine is that you can also do mydomain.com/something/index.php (you can enter address in this format into your browser) and you still get the content on that mydomain.com/something.
I don't want those two possibilites to be available at the same time, Google doesn't like this. I want just one to be possible.
So what I want to do is whenever you type into your browser mydomain.com/something/index.php, you will be redirected to mydomain.com/something (without that /index.php at the end).
How should I write a .htaccess code to do something like this?
add the following lines to .htaccess in the root directory of your website
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} !200
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L,NC,QSA]
Note: the first condition assure that no previous redirection is made (to prevent redirection loop)
Mordor:
You can try this in your .htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]

.htaccess redirect to a single page everytime, but keep same url for application reasons

I looked through other stack overflow questions and I couldn't find one that was my exact case.
I have tried writing several different .htaccess rewrite rules but I can't seem to get it working.
I need to do the following:
Original URL: testexample.com/tool/1
Needs to redirect to: textexample.com/tool/display.php
But the URL in the browser needs to stay : testexample.com/tool/1
Can anyone point me in the right direction for rules for this rewrite?
You may try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !display\.php/? [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/]+)/?.*/? [NC]
RewriteRule .* %1/display.php [L]
Maps silently
http://testexample.com/anything/folder (Shown in the browser all the time)
To
http://textexample.com/anything/display.php
