mod_rewrite

[Dkozikowski+]

I understand what you are saying but my thinking was once one line was processed that process ended and went to the next.

So if I understand what you are saying, each process stays active and determins the output of the next?

Could someone help me get URLs like this please?:

http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/07/02/10/

So that date URLs translate nicely into post dates.

A shiny new set of mod_rewrite rules or something would be sweet, or just a few tips. If it's been asked already, a link would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Is it possible?
Yes

Is it easy to do?
No

You could setup mod_rewrite like this:

RewriteRule ^([00-99])/([1-12])/([1-31])$ index.php?get_year=$1&get_month=$2&get_day=$3

But unfortunately, the simple mod_rewrite rule would only be a small part.
The larger part would be getting Pixelpost to understand URLs like that.
Which is not an easy task.

Ah, okay. Thanks for trying. Is mod_rewrite used on topleftpixel or is it another photoblog platform entirely do you think?

Something that has passed me by but has now really got me wondering is why PixelPost isn't being developed officially anymore... why is that?

topleftpixel is definitely using mod_rewrite for those urls.
As for the platform, they are using Movable Type, which isn't a "photoblog" platform out of the box. So they definitely had to do some "hacking" to get everything to work like that. (Which is why I prefer Pixelpost, it works right out of the box)

Pixelpost is still being actively developed.
Version v1.6 is in the works as we speak. (so I hear)

Hmmm... makes me wonder why I did all the code updates and implemented new features for the past 4 months...

Pixelpost is actively developed, and version 1.6 is gonna rock. The major problem here is that we, as a development team, do things in our spare time. And sometimes there are more important things than Pixelpost because we all need to have a roof over our heads and food on the table.

So, please be patient.. we know everyone out there is anxiously for the new release and we release a version soon.

Let us know about such ideas.
Definitely Ill try to add it in free time as an addon and thanks to mod_rewrite you will be able to get such a nice links like i.e. yourdomain.com/2007/02/10.

For all who want to use dates in navigation you can try this new addon:

I sincerely apologise for lack of awareness of your work. I appreciate now that you guys are continuing to put a lot of time and effort into the project and that you have other things to do.

Having only just joined the forum recently all I could see from the homepage were links to an 'old website', forums, etc. and I got the impression that it was a project long since abandoned by its creators and only supported by users.

Now I know the truth, I look forward to 1.6!

Thanks for looking into the date navigation btw GeoS. I'll spend a while tweaking. Though my thumbnail tags hate any mod_rewrite changes... I'll experiment.

Oh, and I think Jay Williams should be upgraded in forum status! He puts a huge amount of support down for n00bs like myself, and has contributed in more than one area of PP development. Great work Jay.
