I have downloaded the phpDolphon Social Networking Script. It is great, however, it does not have clean URLs. Does anybody know how to do it?
Here is an example of the index page:
mydomain.com/index.php?a=feed
and I want to change it to:
mydomain.com/
Here is an example of the profile page:
mydomain.com/index.php?a=profile&u=daniel
and I want to change it to:
mydomain.com/user/daniel
I have tried this but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-+_%*?]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-+_%*?]+)/?$ index.php?a=$1&u=$2 [L]
How about:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+index\.php\?a=feed
RewriteRule ^ /? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+index\.php\?a=profile&u=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^ /user/%1? [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^user/([^/]+)$ /index.php?a=profile&u=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php?a=feed [L,QSA]
You'll need very specific rules:
# no 'feeds' in alias
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?a=feed (maybe it needs a /)
# 'user' in one, 'profile' in other
RewriteRule ^user/(\w\d+)$ index.php?a=profile&u=$1
etc

I need the url
from
localhost/project/category?c=electronics
to
localhost/project/category/electronics
I have tried
RewriteRule ^category/([^/\.]+)?$ /category.php?c=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^category/+?$ /category.php?c=$1 [NC,L]
With your shown samples and attempts please try following htaccess rules. Please do clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteBase /
##External redirect to url change in browser.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/(project/category)\.php\?c=(\S+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2? [R=301,L]
##Internal rewrite to category.php in backend.
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1/$2.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1/$2.php?c=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^project/category/([0-9a-z]+)$ /project/category?c=$1 [L]
Why is "project/" missing in your original try ?
You have to specify the full path.
You can try this simple rewriteRule wich should works.
So launched a site and made a mistake with a link and did not structure it correctly. As quite a few of these links have been picked up in Google I need to redirect the wrong links permanently without affecting the correct links and am not sure how to do it properly.
My links should be like this: /compare/itemname.html
But with the mistake they are appearing like this in Google:
/compare/itemname (without the .html part)
this was only because I missed off the .html when the links are created
dynamically and have fixed this bit now.
This is in my htaccess and works fine:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+index\.php\?keyword=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^ /compare/%1.html? [L,R]
RewriteRule ^compare/([^/]*)\.html$ /index.php?keyword=$1 [NC,L]
So how do I change from this /compare/itemname to /compare/itemname.html
where itemname can change - without messing up the above code in the
.htaccess
Or is it better at this stage just to do a 301 redirect and again how
would I pick out the urls itemname that is missing the .html ?
Thanks for any assistance
You can add a new redirect rule to add .html:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+index\.php\?keyword=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^ /compare/%1.html? [L,R]
RewriteRule ^(compare/[^.]+)/?$ /$1.html [NC,L,R]
RewriteRule ^compare/([^.]+)\.html$ /index.php?keyword=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
Try this .htaccess in your /compare/ dir
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ http://www.example.com/compare/$1\.html [L,R=301]
i tried and tried with examples posted here, but i didn't manage to make my htaccess run properly.
Here's the situation:
i have links looking like this
domain.com/sport/football/index.php?lang_id=1&page_id=500 (home page)
domain.com/sport/football/index.php?lang_id=1&page_id=505 (players)
domain.com/sport/football/index.php?lang_id=1&page_id=510 (coaches) ...
i would like to rename them to
domain.com/sport/football/
domain.com/sport/football/players/
domain.com/sport/football/coaches/
etc...
and for all non-designated page_id's to redirect to home page.
All help is very much appreciated.
In the htaccess file in your document root, add:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^sport/football/$ /sport/football/index.php?lang_id=1&page_id=500 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^sport/football/players/?$ /sport/football/index.php?lang_id=1&page_id=505 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^sport/football/coaches/?$ /sport/football/index.php?lang_id=1&page_id=510 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|HEAD)\ /sport/football/index\.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)page_id=500($|&)
RewriteRule ^ /sport/football/? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|HEAD)\ /sport/football/index\.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)page_id=505($|&)
RewriteRule ^ /sport/football/players/? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|HEAD)\ /sport/football/index\.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)page_id=510($|&)
RewriteRule ^ /sport/football/coaches/? [L,R=301]
You can use RewriteMap Directive for that. You must define the mapping from names to ids
players 505
coaches 510
and tell Apache about the map
RewriteMap football txt:/path/to/footballmap.txt
The RewriteMap must be in either the main configuration file or inside a VirtualHost directive.
Now you can use this map
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^sport/football/(.*)/?$ /sport/football/index.php?lang_id=1&page_id=${footballmap:$1|500} [L]
If there's no key found, the default 500 (homepage) will be used. If you have lots of mappings, you can also use a hashfile instead.
Update:
When you don't have access to the server or virtual host configuration file, you can only have a fixed RewriteRule "map"
RewriteRule ^sport/football/players/?$ /sport/football/index.php?lang_id=1&page_id=505 [L]
RewriteRule ^sport/football/coaches/?$ /sport/football/index.php?lang_id=1&page_id=510 [L]
# maybe other similar rules ...
# this is a catch everything else and must come last
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^sport/football/ /sport/football/index.php?lang_id=1&page_id=500 [L]
I got the following url:
127.0.0.1/abc_123456/default/index/index/
Which should be rewritten to:
127.0.0.1/123456/index.php/default/index/index/
So remove abc_ and add index.php after it. Problem is that the digits are variable, but the abc_ isn't.
I had the following rule:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /abc_
RewriteRule ^abc_(.*)/(.*)$ /$1/index.php/$2
But that resulted in the url being rewritten to:
127.0.0.1/123456/default/index/index.php/index/
Seems like I'm almost there, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks in advance
Use this simple rule:
RewriteRule ^abc_([0-9]+)/(.*)$ $1/index.php/$2 [L,NC]
Try
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /abc_([0-9]+)/([^\ \?]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/index.php/%2 [L]
EDIT
However, you are right about the other rule, that's the one giving the error; RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !^[A-Z]+\ /abc_ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 That one is used to rewrite if the page does not contain the /abc_123456/
Add an extra condition to that rule as below
#if not abc_
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !^[A-Z]+\ /abc_ [NC]
#if not already index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
for example, if you need similar solution, when visited this url:
http://yoursite.com/subpage1/subpage2/?YOURSTRING=blabla
to redirected visitor to
http://yoursite.com/subpage1/subpage2/
then see link - http://stackoverflow.com/a/15680832/2215124
For my site I have a directory called /test/. I want to rewrite www.example.com/nl/test and www.example.com/nl/test/ to a certain page (test.php).
Some global conditions (for all the rules)
RewriteRule ^(nl|en)$ http://www.example.com/$1/ [NC,R]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(nl|en)$ $1/ [NC,R]
RewriteCond $1 !^(en|nl)$
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/(.*)$ en/$2 [L,R=302]
RewriteRule ^(nl|en)/(.*)$ $2?language=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^sale$ sale.php
RewriteRule ^valentine$ valentine.php
Some conditions for the rewrite + folder
RewriteRule ^test/$ test.php
The redirect of www.example.com/nl/test/ is correct. The language parameter is also correctly rewritten.
For the second redirect (the version without the trailing slash) I can't get this working.
RewriteRule ^test$ test.php
Now my URL is rewritten as www.example.com/test/?language=nl
Can someone give me a tip or hint to fix this? I can't change the name of the directory since there are several external URLs linking to this directory.
This rule will do the whole job (instead of 4 lines you have there): it will rewrite both /nl/test and /nl/test/ to /test.php?language=nl.
RewriteRule ^(en|nl)/test/?$ /test.php?language=$1 [NC,QSA,L]
NOTES:
The [QSA] flag will preserve any existing query string (therefore, there is no need for &%{QUERY_STRING}).
Full .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
DirectorySlash Off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(nl|en)$ http://www.example.com/$1/ [NC,R=301,L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(en|nl)$
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/(.*)$ /en/$2 [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^(nl|en)/(.*)$ /$2?language=$1 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^sale/?$ sale.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^valentine/?$ valentine.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^test/?$ test.php [QSA,L]
NOTES:
There is no need for RewriteRule ^(nl|en)$ $1/ [NC,R] as you already have RewriteRule ^(nl|en)$ http://www.example.com/$1/ [NC,R=301,L]. It does the same job.
