I've added a .htaccess file to my root folder for the purposes of rewriting dynamic URLs into static ones. This seems to have been done successfully but I am having problems with page numbers.
For example, if you were to visit a static page /widgets, the first page of the products is fine....but subsequent pages show up as /products.php?cat=27&pg=2 etc. What I want is for subsequent pages to be in the form of /widgets-pg2 or /widgets?pg=2.
Below is my rewrite rule that I used for the initial category page:-
RewriteRule ^widgets$ products.php?cat=27
If any of you experts can help with this, it would be much appreciated.
Are you expecting the cat to change as well? You'd need to account for that in your URL as well:
e.g. www.site.com/widgets/27/2 could be rewritten as:
RewriteRule ^widgets/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ products.php?cat=$1&pg=$2
If widgets will always be cat 27 then you can change it to:
RewriteRule ^widgets$ products.php?cat=27 [QSA]
which is query string append
Try
RewriteRule ^widgets-pg(.+)$ products.php?cat=27&pg=$1
After that, go here :)
To allow a query string after your rewritten URL use the [QSA] flag:
RewriteRule ^widgets$ products.php?cat=27 [QSA]
A link would than be:
http://example.org/widgets?pg=167&perpage=100&tralala=Hi!
I tried the following but it resulted in a '404 Not Found' error when I go to /widgets:-
RewriteRule ^widgets-pg(.+)$ products.php?cat=27&pg=$1
And I tried the following:-
RewriteRule ^widgets$ products.php?cat=27 [QSA]
This worked correctly but to go to page two of the widgets page, I need to type in the browser:-
/widgets?pg=2
But the actual 'page 2' link still leads to:-
products.php?cat=27&pg=2
So apart from a rewrite rule....maybe I need a separate redirection rule? Or maybe need to change the page number links. But since these are dynamically generated, I'm not sure how to do this.
The following is the PHP code for the page:- http://freetexthost.com/3ubiydspzm

I have a page showing the products with the hyperlink for it as
www.domainname.com/productname
now my client needs to add store and needs the URL to show as
www.domainname.com/store/productname
I have done it via code and now when I click on it for a detail page, its still redirecting to
www.domainname.com/productname
but need to be
www.domainname.com/store/productname
tried with this:
RewriteRule ^store/?$ domianname.com/?$ [NC,L]
in .htaccess file, not sure whether I'm on page
Can any one tell me how to do it via .htaccess file.
Your RewriteRule is backwards: you need the path you're matching first, then the path you're redirecting to. Try this:
RewriteRule !^/store/(.*) /store/$1 [NC,L]
Also, you don't actually need mod_rewrite to do this. You could try mod_redirect, which is simpler and easier to understand:
RedirectMatch !^/store/ /store/
(N.B. I haven't tried either of these, so I'm not 100% certain they do what you want.)
I have page not found erros in webmaster because the page/2/0 part of a url is due to smart paging module clean url feature (Drupal) now i uninstalled the smart paging module but these page not found errors are still there.
www.mysite.com/a/b/c/page/2/0,
www.mysite.com/a/d/e/page/3/0,
www.mysite.com/a/f/g/page/4/0,
www.mysite.com/a/h/i/page/5/0
and so on.
I want to redirect
www.mysite.com/a/b/c/page/2/0 to www.mysite.com/a/b/c
www.mysite.com/a/d/e/page/3/0, to www.mysite.com/a/d/e
www.mysite.com/a/f/g/page/4/0, to www.mysite.com/a/f/g
www.mysite.com/a/h/i/page/5/0 to www.mysite.com/a/h/i
with one redirect rule. How to do this
in short i want to remove the page/x/0 part from the url and redirect it to the remaining part of that url.
You want something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/[0-9]+/0$ /$1/$2/$3 [L,R=301]
The literals here are after the first 3 path nodes: /anything/anything/anything/, then it must be followed by a page, then some numbers, then a zero. You can make it even more general, say after the "page", by changing the pattern to:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/ /$1/$2/$3 [L,R=301]
Here's the scenario, I have a website that used to be a static HTML site and WordPress blog using a subdomain (http://blog.domain.com).
I recently combined everything into a single WordPress installation. To maintain old links I had to rewrite requests like "http://blog.domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-name" to "http://domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-name". My problem is that when trying to visit just "http://blog.domain.com", I get redirected to "http://domain.com" when I want it to go to "http://domain.com/index.php/blog".
So, if a user requests "http://blog.domain.com" (by itself, with or without slash), I want it to go to "http://domain.com/index.php/blog". If they request an old URL of "http://blog.domain.com/some-link-to-a-post", I want it to redirect to "http://domain.com/some-link-to-a-post". In other words, if it's a URL to an actual post, I just want to strip the "blog" subdomain. If it's the old link to the main blog page, I want to remove the "blog" subdomain and append "/index.php/blog"
http://blog.domain.com/ -> http://domain.com/index.php/blog
http://blog.domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-title -> http://domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-title
Hopefully that's clear. I'm not an htaccess expert, so hopefully someone can help me out here. Thanks in advance!
Using the [L] command at the end of a rewrite will tell htaccess that this is the last rule it should match. If you put a rule to match your first condition at the top and the other rewrite rule you said you had already created after it, you should get your expected result.
Try this:
RewriteRule ^blog.domain.com(/?)$ domain.com/index.php/blog [L]
# Your other rewrite here #
I couldn't get that solution to work. However, I used the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/index.php/blog/$1 [R=301,L]
That ends up in a URL like http://domain.com/index.php/blog/index.php/2010/06/04/post-title, but Wordpress is smart enough to fix it.
I need some help with .htaccess. I've been using URL rewrites, but not conditions, and I'm pretty sure I need them seeing as I can't get this working.
The URL structure I need is -> forum/catnamehere (which shows the page called catnamehere)
and child structure -> forum/catnamehere/fornamehere (which shows the child page of the cat)
However, somehow I fail to do this, making me believe I need conditions.
You should be able to do this with two rules.
Put your .htaccess file in the forum directory, and add the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)(/?)$ complexForumPath.php?catName=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)(/?)$ complexForumPath.php?catName=$1&subPage=$2 [QSA]
The first rule will grab stuff like forum/abc123_
And the second rule will grab forum/abc123_/abc123_
Is it possible somehow using mod_rewrite change the url from http://www.mywebsite.com/company/123/reviews to http://www.mywebsite.com/company-123/reivews?
It's not a redirect. The problem is that the real path is the first one and I need my browser to display the second path. So when the user goes to company-123/reviews the content of the page is displayed from company/123/reviews.
Thank you.
RewriteRule ^/([a-z]*?)-([0-9]*?)/([a-z]*?)$ /$1/$2/$3
I think this will work, the regex does it's job atleast.
Use this rule to rewrite the former URL path to the latter one:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)-([0-9]+)/([^/]+)$ $1/$2/$3 [L]
But you already need the former URLs in your documents to get this rewriting work.
