Hello David
I want to have these kinds of urls instead of default ones :
mysite.com/shop/name-of-product.html
instead of
mysite.com/shop/product/name-of-product.html
and
mysite.com/shop/name-of-category
instead of
mysite.com/shop/category/name-of-category
and so on
i tried some modifications in the htaccess but i encountered problems :
first the links in the page lead to 404 (example : the links to products in a category page)
second the become category:name-of-category: instead of name-of-category
how to make it work ?
Thanks in advance for your help !
Cheers
Coyote
Hello David
Thank your for your answer
Actually i have no problem with product page rewriting
the probleme comes with category rewriting :
this is default rewriting :
RewriteRule ^category/$ categories.php
RewriteRule ^category/(.*)/$ search.php?q=category:$1:&rewrite=1%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^category/(.*)/(.*).html$ search.php?q=category:$1:&page=$2&rewrite=1%{QUERY_STRING} [L]I tried this :
RewriteRule ^categories.php$ categories.php
RewriteRule ^(.*).php$ search.php?q=category:$1:&rewrite=1%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-(.*).php$ search.php?q=category:$1:&page=$2&rewrite=1%{QUERY_STRING} [L]But it seems it doesn't work (i did changes in the corresponding files), did i forgot something ?
Thank you for you help

Hi,
Are your new rules just being ignored (404) or do they try and re-write but do not pass the correct variables through to search.php?

Hi
They do not pass the correct variables through to search.php

Hi,
Can you email me a link to your site so I can see what's going on, it might be easier to help that way (reply to your reg code or forum registration email is the easiest way to get me...)
Cheers,
David.
Hello Coyote,
The basic rule, which would need to go at the very end of your .htaccess would be:
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ products.php?q=$1&rewrite=1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]You can get away with this as none of non-rewrite pages generated by Price Tapestry end in .html.
However, this isn't all you need to do, as there are many places in the code that generate the product link using /product/ as part of the URL. You will be able to identify these by searching for:
if ($config_useRewrite)...and
if ($rewrite)In the code following these statements, look for the "product/" string, which you can then change to just "/". Furthermore, changes will then need to be made on the product page itself to ensure that all follow on links use the correct URL, as they expect to be relative to /product/ which if you remove this rule they would not be...!
Cheers,
David.
