.htaccess - create a language dir - .htaccess

For SEO friendly urls i'm using this expression:
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+).([^/]+)$ index.php?id=$1&titel=$2
The url is domain.com/55-page-title and it works perfect.
Now i have to determine different languages and my url should look like domain.com/de/55-seitentitel. I've no idea how to rewrite regular expression in .htaccess file.
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+).([^/]+)$ index.php?lan=$1&id=$2&titel=$3
What could I insert behind '^'? thanks a lot!

Try this:
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/([0-9]+).([^/]+)$ index.php?lan=$1&id=$2&titel=$3

erase part of a URL using htaccess rewrite

i need to remove part of Joomla/Virtuemart generated SEF URI using .htaccess
the URI represents a menu hierarchy and structured this way:
online-store
- inner-store
-product-catalog
this is the resulting URI:
www.domain.com/online-store/inner-store/product-catalog
i would like to change it to:
www.domain.com/online-store/product-catalog
thought this might help but its not making any difference
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^online-store/inner-store/\d+-(.+) /online-store/$1 [R=301,L]
i know its not considered good practice but i can't change the menu structure.
any suggestions ?
This regex \d+-(.+) will match 1 or more digits followed by hyphen followed 1 or more any thing
Try this code instead:
RewriteRule ^(online-store)/inner-store/(.*)$ /$1/$2 [R=301,L,NC]
Make sure this is first rule in your .htaccess and use a different browser to test it to avoid caching issues.

.htaccess dynamic to static URL

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.

Multilanguage website mod rewrite problem

I have a problem with mod rewrite and did not find any solution here. Here is the problem:
I have website with two languages and mod URL should look something like this:
/eng/contact
/srp/kontakt
/eng/news
/srp/vesti
/eng/event
/srp/najava
Mine rewrite rule is not working because I have in .htacess situation like this:
# news
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ news.php?lang=$1&pagename=$2 [NC,L]
# contact
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ contact.php?lang=$1&pagename=$2 [NC,L]
# event
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ event.php?lang=$1&pagename=$2 [NC,L]
My question is how to achieve rewrite for pages in the above examples?
I would use:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/*$ index.php?lang=$1&pagename=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
and then route the PHP flow from index.php to news.php/contact.php etc. by using some simple switch-case-include statement:
switch ($_GET['pagename'])
{
case 'news':
require_once 'news.php';
break;
...
...
}
This will also help you develop other routing related features simplifying the .htaccess file. This also enables easy lookup for native subpages names of subpages like "en/contact" but "pl/kontakt" etc.
I use this approach on almost all my sites (e.g. http://www.calculla.com/en/ascii2hex and http://www.calculla.com/pl/ascii2hex).

.htaccess RewriteRule help

I've been trying to create a rule.
If anyone could help, I would be extremely grateful.
Request: domain.com/c/wb.php?p=rs/rs/1tb/25n/ru/rs
Rewrite to: domain.com/c/wb/rs/rs/1tb/25n/ru/rs
Thanks in Advance
I think you have this a bit backwards. The idea behind URL rewriting is that you take a nice neat URL like this (what the user sees):
http://domain.com/c/wb/rs/rs/1tb/25n/ru/rs
and rewrite it behind the scenes into an uglier but PHP etc. friendlier URL like this (what the server processes):
http://domain.com/c/wb.php?p=rs/rs/1tb/25n/ru/rs
To do that, use this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/c/wb/(.*) http://domain.com/c/wb.php?p=$1 [L, NS]
It should look something like this
RewriteRule ^(c/wb)\.php\?p=(rs/rs/1tb/25n/ru/rs)$ $1/$2 [L,NS]
Still I'm not sure if you need slash in front of c/wb if you're using this in your .htaccess file. You need slash if you're using this in the VirtualHost configuration.

Simple url rewrite

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.
