i Don't get the mod_rewrite

I have static pages for all my categories, but I want them to be dynamic so when I add links in the admin it will show without me building, I know I have to use the mod_rewrite to get that but how do I do it

Hopefully this post will help;

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...i?post=269599#269599

Basically, you need to make a .htaccess file, and upload it to your appropriate folder. The mod_rewrite code I provided in the above URL **MAY** work as-is ... but more than likely, it will require a little tweaking, to get it working on your site right.

Re: [Andy] i Don't get the mod_rewrite In reply to

Thanks Andy,
I just add the .htaccess file with this in it

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*)\.css $1.css [L]
RewriteRule ^images/(.*) images/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^AddImages/(.*) AddImages/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^Images/(.*) Images/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^p/(.*) /cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^info/(.*) /cgi-bin/page.cgi?p=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*).html /cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=$1.html [L]
RewriteRule ^$ /cgi-bin/page.cgi [L]

and I put it in the folder where all the pages are created

I just added a link but it is not showing on the category page unless I build it, how do I avoid this

Try adding this;

Code:
RewriteRule ^/?$ /cgi-bin/page.cgi [L]

...just before;

Code:
RewriteRule ^$ /cgi-bin/page.cgi [L]

Probably a better way... but that should work :)

Re: [Andy] i Don't get the mod_rewrite In reply to

Hi Andy,
Still not working,
When I add a new link it always appears in the globals like Recently_Modified links without me building but does not show up in my static pages for the categories unless I build all

Here is what I currently i have in my .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*)\.css $1.css [L]
RewriteRule ^images/(.*) images/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^AddImages/(.*) AddImages/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^Images/(.*) Images/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^p/(.*) /cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^info/(.*) /cgi-bin/page.cgi?p=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*).html /cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=$1.html [L]
RewriteRule ^/?$ /cgi-bin/page.cgi [L]
RewriteRule ^$ /cgi-bin/page.cgi [L]

Hi Andy,
How do I create new pages like about us or privacy policy, because when I try to upload a file by FTP and go to my browser to check it, it tells me page does not exist

Re: [Abusaki] i Don't get the mod_rewrite In reply to

RewriteRule ^p/(.*)\.html /cgi-bin/page.cgi?p=$1

...should be that easy :)

Then call with;

http://www.yourdomain.com/p/page_name.html .. which would equate to http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?p=page_name

Hope that helps.

Re: [Andy] i Don't get the mod_rewrite In reply to

Thank Andy,
It works but as this

http://www.yourdomain.com/p/page_name

not with the .html like this

http://www.yourdomain.com/p/page_name.html

because that gives me an error like this

A fatal error has occured:

Invalid SiteHTML method: 'site_html_aboutus.html'. at /home/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/cgi-bin/admin/Links/SiteHTML.pm line 241.Please enable debugging in setup for more details.

Re: [Abusaki] i Don't get the mod_rewrite In reply to

mmm.. you sure?

Try;

RewriteRule ^p/(.*).html /cgi-bin/page.cgi?p=$1

As far as I can see, $1 should just hold the filename... which is all you need to pass along (or you get the error about the function not existing).

Hi Andy,
How do I have my links sorted by Add Date so only the new links appear on top,
it looks like it is being sorted out by Title instead off Add Date

Re: [Abusaki] i Don't get the mod_rewrite In reply to

You would need to change the build_category_sort option in Setup > Build Options. Add something like this to the BEGINING;

Add_Date ASC

Hope that helps.

No problem. Your text issue is probably down to IE. Try clicking View > Text Size > Medium

Re: [Andy] i Don't get the mod_rewrite In reply to

I've inserted your code exactly as is in my .htaccess file and modified the extension to .php instead of .html as I use .php as the extention of the built pages (through lqsl setup).
Everything seems to work Ok, however, since I use also two additional parameters in the URL, then how would I add them to the mod rewrite code?
the additional parameters are:

Code:
 &lang=ru&t=russian

lang and t are preserved parameters:
so the code that I have in .htaccess looks something like this below... but can u please review it see where should I do the changes... and whether I am refering to images and css correctly ..?
thanks much

Code:

RewriteEngine On   
RewriteRule (.*)\.css $1.css [L]    
RewriteRule ^images/(.*) images/$1 [L]    
RewriteRule ^AddImages/(.*) AddImages/$1 [L]    
RewriteRule ^Images/(.*) Images/$1 [L]    
RewriteRule ^p/(.*) /cgi-bin/linkssql/page.cgi?g=$1 [L]   
RewriteRule ^info/(.*) /cgi-bin/linkssql/page.cgi?p=$1 [L]   
RewriteRule ^(.*).php /cgi-bin/linkssql/page.cgi?g=$1.php [L]  
RewriteRule ^/?$ /cgi-bin/page.cgi [L]

Hi,

the additional parameters are:

It depends really :)

You could modify it so you use a URL like;

http://www.yourdomain.com/links/englsh/en/Category_Name/
...etc,
and then change the rewrite rules to;

Code:
RewriteEngine On     
RewriteRule (.*)\.css $1.css [L]      
RewriteRule ^images/(.*) images/$1 [L]      
RewriteRule ^AddImages/(.*) AddImages/$1 [L]      
RewriteRule ^Images/(.*) Images/$1 [L]      
RewriteRule ^([english|russian|french])/([en|ru|fr])/p/(.*) /cgi-bin/linkssql/page.cgi?g=$3;lang=$2;t=$1 [L]     
RewriteRule ^([english|russian|french])/([en|ru|fr])/info/(.*) /cgi-bin/linkssql/page.cgi?p=$3;lang=$2;t=$1 [L]     
RewriteRule ^([english|russian|french])/([en|ru|fr])/(.*).php /cgi-bin/linkssql/page.cgi?g=$3.php;lang=$2;t=$1  [L]     
RewriteRule ^([english|russian|french])/([en|ru|fr])/?$ /cgi-bin/page.cgi?lang=$2;t=$1 [L]   
RewriteRule ^([english|russian|french])/([en|ru|fr])/$ /cgi-bin/linkssql/page.cgi?lang=$2;t=$1 [L]

as well as;

Code:
RewriteRule (.*)\.css $1.css [L]     
RewriteRule ^images/(.*) images/$1 [L]     
RewriteRule ^AddImages/(.*) AddImages/$1 [L]     
RewriteRule ^Images/(.*) Images/$1 [L]     
RewriteRule ^p/(.*) /cgi-bin/linkssql/page.cgi?g=$1 [L]    
RewriteRule ^info/(.*) /cgi-bin/linkssql/page.cgi?p=$1 [L]    
RewriteRule ^(.*).php /cgi-bin/linkssql/page.cgi?g=$1.php [L] 
RewriteRule ^/?$ /cgi-bin/page.cgi [L]  
RewriteRule ^$ /cgi-bin/linkssql/page.cgi [L]

Totally untested, but will hopefully get you on the right trail :)
