Getting "links.php" to "links"...

Sonnie · #1 08-22-2006, 12:45 PM

I would like to make my "links.php" URL be accessible by simply typing in mydomain.com/forums/links without the ".php" on the end.

Is there a rewrite that won't clash with the vBSEO .htaccess that can be inserted in .htaccess ... or is this the simplest way to do this?

Here's my .htaccess file:

Quote:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^hometheatershack.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/forums/
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !chat
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Thanks!

Try a custom rewrite rule:

Code:

'links\.php$' => 'links/'

Where would I place that and is that all I will need... that exact coding above?

I tried
RewriteRule 'links\.php$' => 'links/'

...but the forum did not like it.

Thanks!

Hi Sonny,

This was not intended for your htaccess file. It is for our CRR (Custom Rewrite Rules) feature, which you can find within your vBSEO Control Panel (vbseocp.php).

Did you forget you were talking to a hillbilly? An ignorant one at that.

Yup... perfect. That did exactly what I wanted.

Many thanks!

Glad to hear it's working.
