I have a news (blog) site that returns urls in the following format when individual posts are selected:
website.net/sitenews.php?q=posts/view/postname/12
I am seeking to rewrite the url so that it reads:
website.net/sitenews.php/posts/view/postname/12
or any other way where the ?q= is removed for purpose of removing the ? so that the url can be accessed by facebook's like button as the facebook url linter does not parse query strings.
In the htdocs .htaccess file in the root directory I have tried the following:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} q=
RewriteRule (.*) website.net/sitenews.php/$1? [R=301]
This successfully removes the q=? however the rest of the string (posts/view/postname/12) is not returned and the url now looks as follows:
website.net/sitenews.php/sitenews.php
Does anyone have any suggestions to help me complete this url_rewrite?
Try this instead in your .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^q=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1/%1? [R=301,L,NE]
R=301 will redirect with https status 301
L will make last rule
NE is for no escaping query string
%1 is capture group for query string q= (whatever comes after q=)
$1 is your REQUEST_URI
If you are using any CMS, like wordpress, or joomla or SE, then you have option to do that else you need to have an .htaccess file where you can write the code, refer this links

Need Guidance of 301 redirecting Url through htaccess matching specific format
Existing URL
http://www.example.com/index.php?option=com_toys&limitstart=20
Proposed URL
http://www.example.com/index.php?option=com_toys&view=list&Itemid=2&limitstart=20
Here limitstart may change to 0,20,40,60 to even 1000 and thus should remain same in the new proposed url too
Can anyone advise on to redirect using htaccess of above
You need to match query string using RewriteCond using a regex to capture both parameters:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(option=com_toys)&(limitstart=\d+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?index\.php$ %{REQUEST_URI}?%1&view=list&Itemid=2&%2 [L,NC,R=301]
Hi all I need to redirect based on query string though htaccess in Apache.
I want that all the queries that contain jjj redirect to my homepage
I used the code below but its not working could you please help me¿
Thanks in advance,
Mauri
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^jjj$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.eventosbarcelona.com [R=301,L]
Your rule redirects example.com/?jjj to example.com/?jjj I guess, You are getting redirect loop error as both urls are same. By default, mod-rewrite appends old query strings to the destination url. You need to use a ? at the end of the Rewrite destination url to discard query string.
Try this :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^jjj$
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com? [L,R]
This will redirect /?jjj to http://example.com/ .
The old site's urls are like:
example.com/dsk/newslong.php?id=5206
New site's urls are like:
example.com/dsk/?p=5206
The .htaccess below is not working in any way.
And more, i have 5K posts to map, and would like to have it working like a macro:
(every number after http://www.example.com/dsk/newslong.php?id=XXX should be rewrited to /dsk/?p=XXX)
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/dsk/newslong.php?id=5206(.*)$ http://www.example.biz/dsk/?p=5206$1 [r=301,nc]
The server once installed newsite is returning a 404 not found on newslong.php.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/dsk/newslong.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(id=[0-9]+)$
RewriteRule .* /dsk/?%1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule is matching URI only, you can't attempt matching query string there.
But you can match it within RewriteCond condition...
That being said, if you don't care about query string content, but want all the urls that pointed to newslong.php redirected to a new location, then it's much simpler:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=[0-9]+$
RewriteRule ^dsk/newslong\.php$ /dsk/ [L,R]
If You omit the R, then the browser won't be redirected (the user will keep seeing old url) and instead the content will be served via sub-request.
im doing a cms at the moment
now im struggeling with the ajax implementation
i have everything running except a mod_rewrite problem..
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule \.html index.php [L]
this redirects nothing except html files to index.php
i need a second rule witch checks the REQUEST_URI for a parameter to prevent the full site gets loaded by ajax.
i dont think this is understandable so i just post what i want to achieve^^
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(?rewrite=no$)
RewriteRule \.html index.php [L]
i want nothing redirected except html files and also no redirect on url's with "(.html)?rewrite=no" at the end
hope someone can help me since rewrites and regexp are not my stongest stuff
thanks in advance
From the Apache docs:
REQUEST_URI
The path component of the requested URI, such as "/index.html". This notably excludes the query string which is available as as its own variable named QUERY_STRING.
So you are actually looking to match on %{QUERY_STRING} rather than %{REQUEST_URI}. Don't include the ? on the query string when matching its condition:
RewriteEngine On
# Match the absence of rewrite=no in the query string
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !rewrite=no [NC]
# Then rewrite .html into index.php
RewriteRule \.html index.php [L]
I'm trying to rewrite urls like http://www.url.com/blog/?p=123 to http://www.url.com/#blog/123. I've read up on things and found that you can only parse the query string in the RewriteCond so I tried something like:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule ^.*$ /#blog/%0 [NE,R]
When I try this the urls end up being rewritten to:
http://www.url.com/#blog/p=213?p=213
Any ideas how to do this properly? Also, is there a way to add an additional RewriteCond that checks that the REQUEST_URI contains blog?
You can do this by removing the query string entirely:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule ^.*$ /#blog/%1? [NE,R]
This should give you:
http://www.url.com/#blog/213
If you want to check if the URL contains the term "blog" then simply check:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .*/blog/.*
It is important to note that you will not be able to check for "blog" in links like http://www.url.com/#blog because, as noted by Patrick, everything after the # is not sent to the server.
See the Apache wiki on mod_rewrite for more information.
That may not work because browsers do not send the fragment of the url after the hash (#) with the request, so any request for http://www.url.com/#blog/p=213?p=213 will be a request for http://www.url.com/
The hash fragment is supposed to be used for anchor tags on pages, and is never sent to the server.
Try this rule in your .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^blog/?$ /#blog/%1? [NC,NE,L,R]
With above a URL of http://localhost/blog/?p=1234 will become http://localhost/#blog/1234
