We have added a paging system inside our layout. When we go to /page/clan, the page about our clan gets displayed. (as its located in pages/clan.php).
To get /page, we used a htaccess script, which rewrites index.php?page=pagename into the /page/pagename I mentioned.
This is our current htaccess code for converting these urls:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^page/([^/]*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
However, We'd like to remove the /page part, so it's possible to just use /clan instead of /page/clan to open the clan page.
How can this be done and with what code?
Thanks!
Try :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L,NC]
Rewrite condions make sure you don't rewrite any existing files or directories on the server.
[NC] flag makes the pattern case insensitive, so in you case example.com/fOo would also work.

I have a problem with rewriting urls to my files. What I am trying to do is making my little shop system a bit more SEO friendly. My problem is that it sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't. I have no idea what I should do or what I am doing wrong.
My UPDATED .htaccess file:
ErrorDocument 404 /shop/404.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /shop/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^produkte/?(.*)$ products.php$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^produkt/?(.*)$ product.php?url=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(css|js|img|fonts)/(.*)?$ /shop/$2/$3 [L,QSA,R=301]
For example the /shop/products link is not working but /shop/products/ is.
And for some reason if I want to open the link /shop/products?cat=besteck its redirecting me to: localhost/D:/xampp/htdocs/shop/products.php?cat=besteck but If I capitalize the b it's working fine..
I have no Idea what to do, please help me! (And dont just give a working code snippet explain why mine fails and yours works)
EDIT:
Just to clear things up I want /products, /products/ and /products?some_get_query to redirect to my products.php file. /product/some_seo_url should be redirected to product.php?url=some_seo_url. I tried adding a question mark after the forward slash in my RewriteRule and I also tried putting the ^products rule above the ^product rule. Nothing worked yet.
EDIT 2:
I updated my .htaccess code above and now nearly everything works. The only thing that still doesn't work is when I open /shop/products/?cat=fish or /shop/product/some_product, my resources aren't loading!
ErrorDocument 404 /shop/404.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /shop/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^products/?(.*)$ products.php?$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^product/?(.*)$ product.php?url=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(css|js|img|fonts)/(.*)?$ /shop/$2/$3 [L,QSA,R=301]
First off your product rule also matches products so a rewrite like:
products/cat/fish becomes product.php?url=s/cat/fish
Which is not what you want, the easiest way to avoid that is to reverse the order so that the products rewrite comes before the product one but I've also added the Last flag ([L]) to be on the safe side; besides, once it's got the match you want it's better for it to stop looking.
To prevent recursive rewrite loops you need to specify that the rewrite only occurs when the redirect is not an existing file or directory (otherwise your product rewrite matches product.php and it loops - forever). That's what those RewriteCond lines signify.
Other than that it seems OK.
I have came accross a problem that every .htaccess query I've tried wasn't worked out ! I have URLs like this:
http://www.example.com/index.php?x=product
And I want to change it to a user friendly URL like this:
http://www.example.com/product/
Or it can be:
http://www.example.com/product.php
I've tried this code below:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^x=product$
RewriteRule ^index.php.*$ http://www.example.com/product.php? [R=302,L]
Now, it is redirecting perfectly, but this is not the problem. I've used this for only SEO so I must include http://www.example.com/index.php?x=product in the product.php file. Any help can be precious, thanks...
You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php\?x=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/? [R=302,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?x=$1 [L,QSA]
This will redirect /index.php?x=product to /product/ and will rewrite it internally to /index.php?x=product in 2nd rule.
You don't need to put anything in the product.php file. Make sure there is a .htaccess in the directory that has the files you want to make url/seo friendly.
To have it SEO friendly make sure its in this format
http://www.example.com/product/ not http://www.example.com/product.php
if you must have a file extension, have it in http://www.example.com/products.html (you want to tell the search engine the page isn't dynamic although it is to get better pagerank)
Insert this in your .htaccess
RewriteRule /(.*)/$ products.php?x=$1
the (.*) pulls the elements out and puts them in variables $1
here is my website
http://www.coolcodez.net/ios/nicucalc
notice when you click on pages on the nav you get urls like
http://www.coolcodez.net/ios/nicucalc/index.php?page=features
I put an .htaccess file in my nicucalc directory. I want the urls to look like this
http://www.coolcodez.net/ios/nicucalc/features
even better would be
http://www.coolcodez.net/nicucalc/features
here is my htaccess file. It's never working properly..
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /%1/? [R=301,L]
what am i doing wrong. explanation as well please
also note: this folder is located inside of a wordpress installation folder. not sure if that htaccess file would be affecting mine somehow
The rule that you have redirects requests for index.php to /features/ (or whatever the "page" is). This is fine in and of itself but you need something that rewrites it internally back to index.php. Because of that you need 2 rules, one to redirect (matches request) and one to internally rewrite (matches URI):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ios/nicucalc/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /ios/nicucalc/index\.php\?page=([^&\ ]+)&?([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /ios/nicucalc/%1?%2 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
The first rule matches against the request, this looks like:
GET /ios/nicucalc/index.php?page=features HTTP/1.1
The "features" is captured and backreferenced in the rule using %1. The second rule first checks if the request points to an existing file or directory. If it doesn't then the URI is captured and then rewritten to index.php and the URI gets passed to the script via the "page" parameter.
Basically I want to rewrite my urls so that it is website.com/folder/ sometimes though I need it to rewrite also website.com/folder/page/
Currently I have it working with just the website.com/folder/ but can not get it to check if there is a page, if I create just another rule under the folder one it reads that one, and gives me an empty page var, which is breaking my php. I struggle with .htaccess and any help would be appreciated.
Here is what I have that works with just the folder but I can not include a page.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?(css|js|images|html|docs)/
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ /?folder=$1 [QSA]
Here is what I tried to get it to work with either just a folder, or a folder and page
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?(css|js|images|html|doc)/
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ /?folder=$1 [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?(css|js|images|html|doc)/
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ /?folder=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
Please Help!
Accordingly to the RewriteRule docs you should reverse the rules order in your rules set. Because in your configuration both rules have the same RewriteCond, the most specific rule (folder + page) should be atop and the most general rule should be the last one. If not when the first rule is matched the URL is rewritten and the second rule never matches. Also, probably you want to remove the trailing forward slash in the pattern of your folder + page rule (assuming that the second group in the pattern matches a page not a folder). So I think the whole thing should read:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?(css|js|images|html|doc)/
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /?folder=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?(css|js|images|html|doc)/
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ /?folder=$1 [L, QSA]
I currently use the follwoing code in my .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Redirect languages
RewriteRule ^(en|es|zh\-tw|zh\-cn)/?$ index.php?lang=$1 [L]
With that code, every time I type for instance, /en at the end of the URL, it redirects me to /?lang=en (loads the the English content from a PHP array):
For instance:
example/en redirects me to example/?lang=en while keeping example/en in the URL.
But I also have a thanks.php page and the code above clearly just work for the index.php page.
How can I make the rewrite rule to work for both index.php and thanks.php page?
The most straight-forward way is just to do this:
RewriteRule ^(en|es|zh\-tw|zh\-cn)/?$ index.php?lang=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^thanks/(en|es|zh\-tw|zh\-cn)/?$ thanks.php?lang=$1 [L]
If you want to make it more general, you have the option of white-listing files, like this:
RewriteCond $1 ^(thanks)/$ [OR]
RewriteCond index ^(index)$
RewriteRule ^(.+/)?(en|es|zh\-tw|zh\-cn)/?$ %1.php?lang=$2 [L]
...where (thanks) would be a pipe-delimited list of the files you wanted to have this functionality, or you can just accept every request as a pass-through to an existing PHP page:
RewriteRule ^(en|es|zh\-tw|zh\-cn)/?$ index.php?lang=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?[^/]?)/(en|es|zh\-tw|zh\-cn)/?$ $1.php?lang=$2 [L]
