I have some URLs that I would need to overwrite so that if someone looks at the source code they can't actually see the real URLs for the product images in Magento. Currently, the link is as
externalsub.domain.com/images/image123.jpg
I want to make it as
mydomain.com/images/image123.jpg
How can I achieve this via .htaccess? Any help is much appreciated!
Then in an htaccess file, you can use this (above whatever rules you may already have):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^images/([^/]+\.(?:jpe?g|png|gif))$ http://externalsub.domain.com/images/$1 [L,P]
You don't need the line turning on the rewrite engine if you already have that (only needs to be in your file once).

I am working on url, I try htaccess, php, javascript and many other things but unable to figure it out.
My url is :
example/cheap-flight-to.php?country=lagos
and I want to change the url something like this :
example/cheap-flight-to.lagos
or
example/cheap-flight-to/lagos
please help me
The following should allow you to generate your urls in the format that you wish.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^example/cheap-flight-to/([a-zA-Z]+)$ /example/cheap-flight-to.php?country=$1 [NC,L]
What you want could be done using regular expressions in .htaccess, but it makes no sence, since it wouldn't be pointing to anything, unless you have a directory cheap-flight-to/lago in which you have an index.php that will show-up in the browser or return data. This means you have to setup a directory for each destination you want to go to. Is that really what you want? Usually it's been used the otherway around. The user (or a script for that matter) enters a url like "example/cheap-flight-to/lagos". Then through regular expressions in .htaccess you rewrite the url to "example/cheap-flight-to.php?country=lagos".
Have a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/rewriteguide.html and
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html for more on rewriting rules in .htaccess.
I have tried several examples of solutions that I have found here on StackOverflow but none of them seem to work correctly.
I have a Magento store that I need to redirect an old store code url to the new one. For example:
The old url looked like this.
www.example.com/something_en
In the above example I need to be able to modify any url that contains to the path something_en and change it to something like in the next example.
www.example.com/something
Any help is much appreciated.
Make sure this is your very first rule in main .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^something_en(/.*)?$ /something$1 [L,NC,R=301]
I'm having some difficulty creating an htaccess mod_rewrite rule which would take the following URL:
http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?route=product/search&filter_name=SEARCH%20CRITERIA
and make it something more along the lines of:
http://www.mydomain.com/search/SEARCH-CRITERIA
or even
http://www.mydomain.com/search?filter_name=SEARCH%20CRITERIA
Everything I've tried seems to break the SEO-friendly URLs that are auto-generated by the Opencart framework. How can this be done?
In Your .htaccess file place the rules directly behind the lines used to rewrite sitemap.xml and googlebase.xml and before the last general rule.
The rule could look like:
RewriteRule ^search\/(.*)$ index.php?route=product/search&filter_name=$1
- did not test it, it is just a guess.
Also showing us what have You tried would be highly appreciated.
I have been researching redirects for a few days now and am still struggling, so I decided to post my first question here. For some reason, it is just not clicking for me.
I have redesigned and developed a client's WordPress site and need to update it's structure.
The site's current structure is:
www.domain.com/blog/postname/2011/12/26/
The new structure should be:
www.domain.com/blog/postname
I really thought this was going to be easy since all I am looking to do is drop the date, but have not been able to grasp the whole wildcard aspect and how to end what I am trying to match. Any help would be greatly appreciated. A simple answer is great, but an explanation would be even better.
I am assuming you already know how to change your WordPress permalink structure to drop the date.
To 301 redirect all of the old URLs to the new ones, add the following rules to your .htaccess file in the root of your websites domain, ahead of any existing rules that are there.
#if these 2 lines already exist, skip them and add the rest
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# if there is a request of the form /blog/post-name/yyyy/mm/dd/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/blog/[^/]+/)[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/$ [NC]
#redirect the request to the URL without the date
RewriteRule . %1 [L,R=301]
If you want to learn more about .htaccess/rewriting you can take a look at the following urls: Indepth htaccess, Brief Introduction to Rewriting, Apache Mod_rewrite.
Let me know if this works for you and/or you have any issues.
I have a site that, for a certain php function to work, needs the url to be:
/topic/index.php?height=###
I would like the URL to read
/topic/
What can I put in the .htaccess file to achieve this? Can I put one htaccess file in the root, or would I need to put one in each /topic/ directory?
I think the following might work for your issue:
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/?$ $1/index.php?height=###
Of course, that's assuming a static number. If you need a dynamic number or one provided by the client, you're going to need something like:
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/(\d+)/?$ $1/index.php?height=$2
