Re: [rascal] Mod_Rewwrite In reply to

Hi,

I tend to use this kind of formatting:

Code:
RewriteEngine On 

RewriteRule ^/?$   /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=index.html  [L] 
RewriteRule ^index.html$  /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=index.html  [L] 

# CSS/images/other page type  rewrites, so they get shown, instead of page.cgi picking them up 
RewriteRule (.*)\.css $1.css [L] 
RewriteRule (.*)\.php $1.php [L] 
RewriteRule ^images/(.*) images/$1 [L] 

# stuff so you can call custom templates via yoursite.com/p/template_name.html 
RewriteRule ^p/(.*)/? /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?p=$1 [L] 

# detailed pages rewrite 
RewriteRule ^Detailed/([0-9]+)\.html$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=Detailed/$1.html [L] 
RewriteRule ^.*L([0-9]+)/(.*)\.html$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=Detailed/$1.html [L] 
RewriteRule ^.*L([0-9]+)/?$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=Detailed/$1.html [L] 

# New, Pop, Ratings etc rewrite rules 
RewriteRule ^New/?$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=New [L] 
RewriteRule ^Ratings/?$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=Ratings [L] 
RewriteRule ^Cool/?$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=Cool [L] 

# category page rewrite 
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index\.html$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=$1/index.html [L] 

# more page rewrite rule 
RewriteRule ^(.*)/more([0-9]+)\.html$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=$1/more$2.html [L]

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Sorry, my mistake you need:

Code:
# New, Pop, Ratings etc rewrite rules 
RewriteRule ^New/?$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=New [L] 
RewriteRule ^New/(.*)\.html?$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=New/$1.html [L]
RewriteRule ^Ratings/?$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=Ratings [L] 
RewriteRule ^Cool/?$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=Cool [L]

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Thank you Andy,

I use the Pagebuilder Plugin how do you convert those URLS,

Example: http://www.mysite.com/site-map

Hi,

You would just need something like:

Code:
RewriteRule ^site-map$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?page=sitemap [L]

...or:

Code:
RewriteRule ^sitemap.html$ /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?page=sitemap [L]

It really depends on what you have the page named as in PageBuilder. The easiest way to test, is by just calling http://www.site.com/cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?page=xx

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Re: [Andy] Mod_Rewwrite In reply to

Thanks Andy, worked like a charm!

One last question if you would help!

Convert this:

http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?p=login_success

To this:

http://www.mysite.com/login_success

Re: [rascal] Mod_Rewwrite In reply to

Hi,

No problem =)

That ones simple (but it would probably require tweaking else where in the script, so that it goes to the new URL =)

Code:
RewriteRule ^login_success$  /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?p=login_success [L]

Hope that helps.

Cheers
