I have a rewirte rule that rewrites my portfolio urls from
portfolio.php?cat=cat-name&project=project-slug
to
/portfolio/cat/slug/
That all works fine and dandy, I'm wondering if It's possible to add a parameter to the end of the rewritten slug. For example
/portfolio/cat/slug&preview=true
I'm trying to make it so I can preview hidden projects by appending the preview=true to the end. It works if I go to
portfolio.php?cat=cat-name&project=project-name&preview=true
I'm just hoping I don't have to create a rule that has /true I've tied various ways to get the value or preview but thought someone here may have a simple solution
Edit Adding .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$
#portfolio
RewriteRule ^portfolio/?$ portfolio.php [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^portfolio/([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)/?$ portfolio.php?cat=$1&project=$2 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^portfolio/([a-z0-9_-]+)/?$ portfolio.php?cat=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^portfolio/([a-z0-9_-]+)/page=([0-9]+)/? portfolio.php?cat=$1&page=$2&
Add QSA as an option to the back of the RewriteRule (in the [] brackets). E.g.
RewriteRule ^portfolio/([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)/?$ portfolio.php?cat=$1&project=$2 [L,NC,QSA]
Please look at http://www.workingwith.me.uk/articles/scripting/mod_rewrite for such an example.
You may also include a hidden field with that appropriate value.

I got this problem, where I try to make an Image Archive. Most of it works, but I have now come to prettifying URLs. I have worked with this before, but somehow, it don't work now. If I add more then one Rewrite URL to the same file (index), it ignores the values added with it.
What I got:
Header add "disablevcache" "true"
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /folder/
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
RewriteRule ^archive/([^/]+)?$ archive/index.php?cat=$1 [E=ORIG_URI:/$1]
RewriteRule ^archive/([^/]+)/([^/]+)?$ archive/index.php?cat=$1&sub=$2 [E=ORIG_URI:/$1]
RewriteRule ^archive/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)?$ archive/index.php?cat=$1&sub=$2&id=$3 [E=ORIG_URI:/$1]
RewriteRule ^archive/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)?/([^/]+)$ archive/index.php?cat=$1&sub=$2&id=$3 [E=ORIG_URI:/$1]
The following should allow me to access these URLs:
domain.com/archive/category
domain.com/archive/category/subcategory/
domain.com/archive/category/subcategory/id
domain.com/archive/category/subcategory/id/item
domain.com/archive will be made default, since I use an index.php file, in a folder. And item will just be for SEO and has nothing to do with PHP. (The last rewriteRule)
This works. I can access the same page, from all the different URLs. (archive/index.php). But when I try to use PHP to get the value from the provided URLs, it won't work. I can't even check and see if there are values.
No matter what I do, it just echo out Category & Sub Category on every URL. Also if I go to the default URL, domain.com/archive.
if($_GET['cat']){
echo 'Category';
if($_GET['sub']){
echo 'Sub Category';
}
}
Anyone who can see what I am doing wrong or got a suggestion to why it ignore my values? Or maybe know another way to do this, so I end up with the same result?
Apache rewrites in a loop. You need to stop it for archive/index.php since that always matches the first RewriteRule:
RewriteRule ^archive/index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^archive/([^/]+)?$ archive/index.php?cat=$1 [E=ORIG_URI:/$1]
RewriteRule ^archive/([^/]+)/([^/]+)?$ archive/index.php?cat=$1&sub=$2 [E=ORIG_URI:/$1]
RewriteRule ^archive/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)?$ archive/index.php?cat=$1&sub=$2&id=$3 [E=ORIG_URI:/$1]
RewriteRule ^archive/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)?/([^/]+)$ archive/index.php?cat=$1&sub=$2&id=$3 [E=ORIG_URI:/$1]
You can also remove [E=ORIG_URI:/$1] if you don't use it.
This is the full set of rewrite code in my htaccess file, but I'm only having problems with a conflict in the last 3 rules. The final rule writes the URL I want, but returns travel.php instead of travel2.php
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^www.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^journal/([^/]*)$ /journal2.php?url=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^travel/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)$ travel.php?country=$1&url_string=$2
RewriteRule ^travel/([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)$ /travel2.php?cat=$1
RewriteRule ^travel/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)$ travel2.php?cat=$1&subcat=$2
This is what I'm after from those last 3:
/travel/country/title-url-string (currently works & displays correct content)
/travel/category (currently works & displays correct content)
/travel/category/subcat (currently displays URL as I want it, but returns travel.php content instead of travel2.php)
I originally had an ID number in the travel.php rule, and removing that has resulted in the conflict. I'm aware two of the rules have the same pattern, so how can I best go about getting the results I want? Thanks for any help. :)
From last 3 rewrite rules:
1 & 3 check the same pattern where first one always take effect.
Further, as your category and country values cannot be distinguished each other here, I would suggest to append a unique identifier to the url as below:
RewriteRule ^travel/country-([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)$ travel.php?country=$1&url_string=$2
RewriteRule ^travel/category-([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)$ travel2.php?cat=$1&subcat=$2
So your matching urls would be:
/travel/country-countryname/title-url-string
/travel/category-categoryname/subcat
I have a single get data (affid) that i want to retrieve using .htaccess but i don't know how to do it. Can you help me out?
Here is an example of links:
mysite.com/searchmembers?affid=1001
mysite.com/profle/123?affid=1002
mysite.com/videos/567?affid=1003
Another thing that might give a problem is these links already have been rewritten on .htaccess
RewriteRule ^searchmembers? index.php?task=searchMembers
RewriteRule ^profile/(.*)? index.php?task=viewProfile&id=$1
RewriteRule ^videos? index.php?task=videos&id=$1
i just want to retrieve the affid and add it to the links like this:
RewriteRule ^searchmembers... index.php?task=searchMembers&affid=(data retrieved)
RewriteRule ^profile/(.*)... index.php?task=viewProfile&id=$1&affid=(data retrieved)
RewriteRule ^videos? index.php... task=videos&id=$1&affid=(data retrieved)
i know i could add it on htaccess for each of these links but if there is an easier way to do this then it would be a great help. thank you for any response that i will receive!
Add this to your .htaccess in your web root / directory
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^searchmembers$ index.php?task=searchMembers [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^profile/(.*)$ index.php?task=viewProfile&id=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^videos/(.*)$ index.php?task=videos&id=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
If you just need to append a new query parameter (like task here), any existing query parameters can be appended automatically using the [QSA] (Query String Append) flag. I've also corrected the regex used in your RewriteRules. The use of ? is incorrect.
I try to rewrite my SEO URLs to some real GET requests, to handle in my PHP file.
I want to have these 2 cases to work:
mysite.com/company-profile -> index.php?action=company-profile
mysite.com/faq/howcanijoin -> index.php?action=faq&anchor=howcanijoin
I got the first case to work using the rule:
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ index.php?action=$1
For the second I tried also. I put this rule before the previous one:
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ index.php?action=$1&anchor=$2
But it's not working. Any suggestions? If I understand correctly inside each parenthesis goes variables $1, $2 etc?
Do this
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ /index.php?action=$1&anchor=$2
This?
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ index.php?action=$1&anchor=$2 [QSA,L]
I'm lost here. I'm using this script to give users the opportunity to enter their username lijke this:domain/username
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ userpage.php?user=$1 [NC,L]
</IfModule>
This works fine. However, every user has pages I must link to: Video, Music, Images etc...
So I need something like:
domain/username/video
In php code it must be something like:
user.php?user=test&page=video
And one other question: What is the preferable way to link in this situation?
userpage.php?user=test&page=video
or
/test/video
And finally: Is it possible to deny the possibility to enter the url:
domain/userpage.php?user=test&page=video? Instead just always show: domain/test/video
Thanks in advance
I'm not 100% sure what you're asking? Do you need to change the rewrite rule to match the URL site.com/moonwalker/videos? You could try this:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(images|videos|music)/?$ userpage.php?user=$1&page=$2 [NC,L]
Update
Just a quick note on the domain/member/videos URL structure. That could end up causing you problems in the future. For instance what if you decide to have a single page that shows all member videos? You'd probably want to URL to look something like site.com/members/videos. That's a problem, because the rewrite rule will also match that, but "members" isn't a member username.
I would probably structure my member page URLs like site.com/user/moonwalker/videos so it doesn't clash with future rewrite rules. You would change the above rewrite rule to this:
RewriteRule ^user/([^/]+)/(images|videos|music)/?$ userpage.php?user=$1&page=$2 [NC,L]
Then later on you can add a rewrite rule like:
RewriteRule ^members/(images|videos|music)/?$ allusers.php?page=$1 [NC,L]
To show all member videos.
Yes, it is possible by looking at the request line:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /userpage\.php[?\ ]
RewriteRule ^userpage\.php$ - [F]
This is necessary as the URL path could already be rewritten by another rule and thus using just RewriteRule would match those already rewritten requests too.
