I need to rewrite a url for specific component in joomla so that actual component name is not visible in url .
E.g index.php?option=com_mycomponent
I need to replace com_mycomponent to xyz
Also I installed joomsef extension but it does not work fine with language filter plugin in joomla.
So I need to rewrite a url for specific component using htaccess
So please suggest me appropriate solution asap
The "Simple Custom Router" extension may be able to help you:

Hopefully this is ASAP enough for you. :)
Have you tried a basic .htaccess rewrite? Shouldn't be too tough with basic rewrite engine:
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^my_component_pretty_url$ ?option=com_mycomponent [NC,L]
If anyone has better rewrite rules, please add...mine are super basic.
Try this,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^chaletreservation$ index.php?option=com_jrestaurantreservation [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^chaletreservation(.+)$ index.php?option=com_jrestaurantreservation&$1 [QSA,L]
Then simply use where ever you need this component urls index.php?option=com_jrestaurantreservation like below,
www.yourdomain.com/chaletreservation
Hope its works..

until now I have always used htaccess to rewrite URLS in order to have non-SEF url to SEF urls.
Today I am facing a new challenge that honestly, beeing non confident in regular expression, I really don't know how to achieve.
I have a situation where a forum on a website of mine has been update in the following form:
previous link: www.domain.com/forum3/topic/name-of-topic/post/7548
new link: forum.domain.com/Topic-name-of-topic/
How do I intercept /post/37764 string and tell htaccess to not consider it?
And how to instruct the server to build that kind of url instead of the provious. I am very confused about it.
Any suggestion? Thank you very much. Is there any resource that I can read to help me better understand the case?
Thanks again.
EDIT
Florian answer is correct. I just added few mods to fit it better.
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum3/topic/([^/]+)/post/[0-9]+$ http://forum.domanin.com/Topic-$1/ [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^forum3/topic/([^/]+)-[0-9]+$ http://forum.domanin.com/Topic-$1/ [L,R=301]
You can try this code :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum3/topic/([^/]+)/post/[0-9]+$ /Topic-$1/ [L,R=301]
/([^/]+)/ means that we want to catch a string containing one or more characters except / preceded and followed by a /.

We published an article in the magazine with following url:
http://magnetic-sleep-machine.com/moves
Now we need to make sure when people put that URL they land to
https://magnetic-sleep-machine.com/moves.html
Please help me figure this out! .htaccess or use a magento (1.7) option?
There's a way to redirect using magento, but not sure if that's exactly what you want.
You could also try turning on multiviews, and let mod_negotiation take cure of fuzzy URL-file mapping, in your htaccess file:
Options +Multiviews
Or using mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^moves/?$ /moves.html [L,R=301]
Or using mod_alias:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/moves/?$ /moves.html
Okay I found the way to do it using magento itself.
created a new Page
page link named as "moves"
added javascript for redirect to body of the page
next went to system>config>web>
set Auto-redirect to Base URL to NO
Voila, it works now.
I change my URL name using mod write. But my URL doesn't show the changes on browser.
This is how it looks from before and after
www.mydomain.com/toy/image.php
to this
www.mydomain.com/toy/xbox
How can I make this: www.mydomain.com/toy/xbox appear on the browser
Another words on my website it should appear www.mydomain.com/toy/xbox instead of this
www.mydomain.com/toy/image.php
This is my code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^toy/xbox$ /toy/image.php* [L,R]
Can someone to explain to me how it works. Did I missed a step? Do I need to used PHP?
If I did make a mistake, correct me so I can learn from my mistakes. I try to google this but I couldn't find what I need to do
Any links or explanations would be appreciated. Thanks.
For it to "show the URL," you need it to do a 301/302 redirect, with a location header. All you have to do is end your RewriteRule line with [L,R=301]
You must perform a redirect using the R flag instead of just a rewrite.
RewriteRule ... ... [R]
I'm trying to make my dynamic URL's into static looking URL's.
This is a typical URL that I now have:
http://www.somedomain.com/design/index.php?p=about
I would like it to be: http://www.somedomain.com/about
So far, I've gotten it to look like this: http://www.somedomain.com/design/about.html
This is the Rewriterule I'm using: RewriteRule ^([a-z]+).html$ index.php?p=$1 [L]
How would I modify it so it would look like this: http://www.somedomain.com/about?
Thanks for any/all help!!!
Very much appreciated!
Using rewrite rules to give 'static' URI is NEVER a good idea.
A few other ideas you can use:
Make the 'about' page a directory (folder) with a file called index.php or index.html in it. This way the URL shows http://example.com/about/ and the information you wish can still be displayed as needed.
Use the POST method instead of GET methods. This will display as http://example.com/about.php (Note: there is no ? or other parameters behind that.)
Utilize both methods to give a 'seamless' URI on page transitions.
Rick, you're on the right track. You need to read the Apache rewrite documentation. For your docroot/.htaccess start it with:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
Then generalised version of your rule:
Rewrite Rule ^(\w+)$ index.php?p=$1 [L]
This will rewrite any requests which are for a word string to index.php. You need to be aware that the rewrite engine rescans the .htaccess file if a match has occured so you need to make sure that you don't create a loop. In this case the replacement string has a "." in it and the pattern doesn't, so this won't occur, but for more complex cases you may need to 'guard' the rules with one or more RewriteCond statements. Again, read the Apache documentation.
I'm trying to rewrite part of an url as I've changed a CMS and still want Google to find my articles.
I have:
www.mywebsite.com/vision
www.mywebsite.com/vision/40/some-article-name
and want to rename them:
www.mywebsite.com/news
www.mywebsite.com/news/40/some-article-name
Any hints as to the re-write rules or where I can look? I'd like to change the rules in my .htaccess file.
# Activate Rewrite Engine
RewriteEngine On
# redirect /vision to /news
RewriteRule ^vision$ http://www.mywebsite.com/news [R=301,NC]
# redirect /vision/bla-bla to /news/bla-bla
RewriteRule ^vision/(.*)$ http://www.mywebsite.com/news/$1 [R=301,NC,QSA]
In theory (and practically) these 2 rewrite rules can be combined, but then if you have URL that starts with "vision" (like this, for example: /visions/hurray) then such rule may redirect wrong URLs. Therefore I have done it via 2 rules which is much safer.
Try: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html
or: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_substitute.html if you want to change links in the html content returned to the browser.
Here is an example of how I might do the rewrite I think you're after...
RewriteRule ^(.)/vision/(.)$ $1/news/$2
This may be to broad of a rewrite scope in which case this may be better...
RewriteRule http://www.mywebsite.com/vision/(.*)$ http://www.mywebsite.com/news/$1
Also learning the basics of regex will be a needed skill for doing any complex rewriting IMO.
Hope that helps.
