URL Rewrites

Submitted by crounauer on Tue, 2008-05-13 21:51 in

Hi David,

It's been a while, I hope you are well?

I am looking to re-write the urls removing the "product", "merchant", "brand" and "category" before the relevant product, merchant, brand and category but it is proving more difficult than I anticipated.

I.e.
http://fashion.pricescompare.co.uk/Religion-Blue-Sailor-Dress.html
http://fashion.pricescompare.co.uk/Cameras/
http://fashion.pricescompare.co.uk/nikon/
http://fashion.pricescompare.co.uk/jessops/

Could you please give me some pointers, specifically with the reviews url.

Thanks,
Simon.

Hi Simon,

There's quite a bit of discussion about this in the following thread:

http://www.pricetapestry.com/node/2003

In particular, notice the comment about moving the new rewrites to the bottom of .htaccess so that your new rules that just look for /something.html do not interfere with the other URLs!

Feel free to email me any files that you have modified if you want me to check over the changes...

Cheers,
David.
