mod_rewrite

[jaywilliams+]

Adding the following text to your .htaccess file should do the trick:

RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9-]+)/(.*)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?x=browse&archivedate=$1&monthname=$2&pagenum=$3

The links would look like this:

/archives/2006-11/November, 2006/1

To modify the links in PixelPost you will need to edit the archives addon.

Hi.. thanks for your help and the quick reply.. unfortunately its not working for me.. when i use the mod_rewrite you wrote, the new link just took me to the main archive page. eg: http://taufiqshariff.com/archives/20...mber,%202006/1 with all the images even if i change the month name, eg:
http://taufiqshariff.com/archives/20...pril,%202006/1

Below is how my .htaccess looks like.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(links|about)/$ index.php?x=$1
RewriteRule ^archives/ index.php?x=browse&pagenum=1
RewriteRule ^archives/page/([0-9]+)$ index.php?x=browse&category=&pagenum=$1
RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9-]+)/(.*)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?x=browse&archivedate=$1&monthname=$2&pagenum=$3
RewriteRule ^comment/([0-9]+)$ index.php?popup=comment&showimage=$1
RewriteRule ^photo/([0-9]+)$ index.php?showimage=$1
RewriteRule ^photo/([0-9]+)/rating/([1-5])$ index.php?showimage=$1&rating=$2
RewriteRule ^thumbnails/latest$ index.php?showthumb=latest&thumbtag=image
RewriteRule ^feed/ index.php?x=rss

I don't have any idea why.

[jaywilliams+]

This is just a hunch, but try placing the the the code in a little different order.


Like this:

RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9-]+)/(.*)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?x=browse&archivedate=$1&monthname=$2&pagenum=$3
RewriteRule ^archives/page/([0-9]+)$ index.php?x=browse&category=&pagenum=$1
RewriteRule ^archives/ index.php?x=browse&pagenum=1

Notice that the "archives/" is listed last.
That might solve it.

Hey.. that worked... Thank you very much!

I have testing all tip here for some day and need some more help.

My site at: http://modul101.com

It´s in swedish and I like swedish words to make sense of the links.

I like a link like this: http://modul101.com/index.php?showimage=65 looks like this: http://modul101.com/bild/65 (this one works when I write the URL in my browser)

And a link like this: http://modul101.com/index.php?x=browse looks like this: http://modul101.com/arkiv (Can write the URL but don´t see any thumbs)

This is the .htaccess, just a test gonna delete som rows later:

PHP Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteBase /
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(browse|about|arkiv)$ index.php?x=$1&pagenum=1
RewriteRule ^browse/([0-9]+)$ index.php?x=browse&category=&pagenum=$1
RewriteRule ^browse/category/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?x=browse&category=$1&pagenum=$2
RewriteRule ^arkiv/category/([0-9]+)$ index.php?x=browse&category=$1&pagenum=1
RewriteRule ^arkiv/([0-9]+)$ index.php?x=browse&category=&pagenum=$1
RewriteRule ^arkiv/category/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?x=browse&category=$1&pagenum=$2
RewriteRule ^browse/category/([0-9]+)$ index.php?x=browse&category=$1&pagenum=1
RewriteRule ^comment/([0-9]+)$ index.php?popup=comment&showimage=$1
RewriteRule ^comment/submit$ index.php?x=save_comment
RewriteRule ^bild/([0-9]+)$ index.php?showimage=$1
RewriteRule ^bild/([0-9]+)/rating/([1-5])$ index.php?showimage=$1&rating=$2
RewriteRule ^bild/fil/(.+)$ /images/$1
RewriteRule ^thumbnails/latest$ index.php?showthumb=latest&thumbtag=image
RewriteRule ^feeds/(rss|atom).xml$ index.php?x=$1
RewriteRule ^browse/archive/(.*)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?x=browse&archivedate=$1&pagenum=$2
RewriteRule ^browse/archive/(.*)$ index.php?x=browse&archivedate=$1&pagenum=1
RewriteRule ^arkiv/archive/(.*)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?x=browse&archivedate=$1&pagenum=$2
RewriteRule ^arkiv/archive/(.*)$ index.php?x=browse&archivedate=$1&pagenum=1
RewriteRule ^bild/(.*)$ index.php?photoslug=$1
</IfModule> 


Can someone give some help whit the changes in the index-file?
I have done some changes but need more to make everything work ok.

My changes:
Browse should be Arkiv
About should be Info

Excuse me my spelling and bad english...

[GeoS+]

Try to change:

RewriteRule ^(browse|about|arkiv)$ index.php?x=$1&pagenum=1

to:

RewriteRule ^arkiv([/]?)$ index.php?x=browse&pagenum=1
RewriteRule ^info([/]?)$ index.php?x=about

[SweMike]

EDIT!

Got the links at the main page works, changed both index.php and the template-image.php

If anybody have some info what to change to make the browse page links look the same, please drop a line. (Browse = http://modul101.com/arkiv )
It must be a some change of the code in index.php I belive?
Something with the >THUMBNAILS> tag???

Ok, I am trying to get
www.sitename.com/index.php?x=browse
and
www.sitename.com/index.php?x=about

to display like

www.sitename.com/browse
and
www.sitename.com/about

I have the following in my .htaccess file,

RewriteEngine On

# Post Slug Addon
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+)$ index.php?photoslug=$1
RewriteRule ^(browse|about)$ index.php?x=$1&pagenum=1

and changed my browse and about links to /browse and /about in my templates.

When I click either of these links it brings up a blank page with the following words typed on it:
Coming Soon! Nothing to show. No image to show here!

What am I doing wrong here? I am using the POST SLUG addon. Is this messing with it? I don't understand modRewrite at all!

[Dkozikowski+]

This is interesting.

I switched the order of the rewrite rules
to

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(browse|about)$ index.php?x=$1&pagenum=1
# Post Slug Addon
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+)$ index.php?photoslug=$1

and now it works!

Why does it make a difference? can someone explain to me why when this:
RewriteRule ^(browse|about)$ index.php?x=$1&pagenum=1
is placed bellow this:
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+)$ index.php?photoslug=$1

It does not work but if revered it functions as it would.

Believe it or not, it makes perfect sense. I'll try my best to explain it.

When you uses mod_rewrite it starts with the first rule and progresses to the last one. The rule ([a-z0-9-]+) means any page that uses the letters a through z as well as numbers and hyphens would return true. Both "browse" and "about" fit in that category. So it would get a match and try to load the page "index.php?photoslug=about". And as you can see, that page doesn't exist.

But if the rule (browse|about) is first, and the page you are trying to load is "about", that rule will return true, skipping any further rules. It will then try to load the page "index.php?x=about&pagenum=1", which would be correct.

Hopefully that explains it for you. If not, let me know and I will try again. :-)
