Topic: URL REWRITER

IS IT JUST ME WHO THINKS NOBODY SEEMS TO BE RESPONDING TO PEOPLE CRYING OUT HOW TO USE THE URL REWRITER?

Does anyone know how to use it or have a walkthrough seeing as the admin and moderators keep ignoring my messages

Re: URL REWRITER

There are possible ways in Rewrite Manager on the left side, and on the right side there are their aliases, i.e. those query that are created from the left template.

3. incorrect module settings.

Re: URL REWRITER

Hello,

.htaccess file is present. It is located at my root directory and I directed the .htaccess path in the Rewrite Manager to the root directory path.

As for 2 and 3, could you kindly explain more on it? Where exactly do I find this "mod_rewrite". Also, what is the correct module setting then? (In fact, what is module setting)

Thanks

Re: URL REWRITER

Extra information,

Taking [Read Full Story] as an example

Template Value - /news/view/%id/%title
Use Layout (your *.php) - /showmore?subaction=showfull


Original URL is this,
http://my-site.com/showmore.php?subaction=...1374841674&

URL Rewrites to this,
http://my-site.com/cms/news/view/1374841674/5


The rewrites URL direct me to a 404 error page. Additionally, if you look at the rewrites URL, there is a /cms/. This is my folder name for my CuteNews and I doesn't want people to know.

This is the .htaccess generated by the Rewrite Manager,

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ cdata/plugins/rewrite/cn_friendly_url.php?rew=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}[L]

Re: URL REWRITER

Here Use Layout (your *.php) - /showmore?subaction=showfull
Correct showmore --> showmore.php

Hello, thanks for the fast reply.

I corrected this showmore.php after I posted the extra information and it still doesn't work.

Re: URL REWRITER

I would like to ask, is it necessary to have /news/view/ inside the template value?

Re: URL REWRITER

Hello,

I changed the .htaccess path back to /public_html/cms/cdata/plugins/rewrite.

The .htaccess file in the folder generated this,

Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
<Files ~ "cn_friendly_url\.php$">
Order Deny,Allow
allow from all
</Files>

Please take note that this .htaccess file permission is set as 0644.

Edit: Upon changing to this, the page now load back error 404 again.

Re: URL REWRITER

Hi,

If the .htaccess look like the one you wrote, this means the cn_friendly_url.php and .htaccess has to be in the cms main folder. (Please correct me if I am wrong).

Hence, I moved cn_friendly_url.php and .htaccess to /cms folder from /cdata/plugins/rewrite folder and rewrote the .htaccess to,

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cms/cn_friendly_url.php?rew=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}[L]

Unfortunately, the page still load out an error 404.

Try to move the .htaccess file (above), at root folder.

Re: URL REWRITER

Hi,

First thanks alot for the constant and quick reply, I appreciate it.

I have moved cn_friendly_url.php and .htaccess to my root directory.

The page now show and load,

"cant find the conf_rw.php file"

instead of a 404 error page.

This is my current .htaccess

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home3/name/public_html/cn_friendly_url.php?rew=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}[L]

Re: URL REWRITER

Put the following in the file ./сdata/plugins/rewrite/conf_rw.php (there is a plug-in installation file) 

<?php
$conf_rw_htaccess = " /home3/name/public_html/.htaccess"; // <--- edit this
$conf_rw_readmore = "/news/view/%id/%title";
$conf_rw_readmore_layout = "/example2.php?subaction=showfull";
$conf_rw_archread = "/news/archive/%archive";
$conf_rw_archread_layout = "/example2.php?subaction=list-archive";
$conf_rw_readcomm = "/news/read/%id/%title/comment";
$conf_rw_readcomm_layout = "/example2.php?subaction=showcomments";
$conf_rw_newspage = "/news/read/%start_from";
$conf_rw_newspage_layout = "/example2.php";
$conf_rw_commpage = "/news/read/%id/%title/comment/%comm_start_from";
$conf_rw_commpage_layout = "/example2.php?subaction=showcomments";
$conf_rw_archreadmore = "/news/archive/%archive/%id/%title";
$conf_rw_archreadmore_layout = "/example2.php?subaction=showfull";
$conf_rw_archreadcomm = "/news/archive/%archive/%id/%title/comment";
$conf_rw_archreadcomm_layout = "/example2.php?subaction=showcomments";
$conf_rw_archpage = "/news/archive/%archive/%start_from";
$conf_rw_archpage_layout = "/example2.php?subaction=list-archive";
$conf_rw_archcommpage = "/news/archive/%archive/%id/%title/comment/%comm_start_from";
$conf_rw_archcommpage_layout = "/example2.php?subaction=showcomments";

Re: URL REWRITER

Hi there,

I have changed the conf_rw.php that is still located inside my /сdata/plugins/rewrite/ folder.

The $conf_rw_htaccess has been changed to where my .htaccess is located at. However, the "cant find the conf_rw.php file" still remains when I load the page.

Take note that inside the Rewrite Manager, ".htaccess path" has already been changed to /home3/name/public_html/.htaccess.

Re: URL REWRITER

Here's the problem with the correct location of files:
1) .htaccess should be in the root, to handle all requests;
2) cn_frienly_url.php must be located at the same folder as the show_news.php, and others because of /home3/name/public_html/cn_friendly_url.php script can not reach the file /home3/name/public_html/cdata/plugins/rewrite / conf_rw.php

Re: URL REWRITER

Hello,

Thanks. As you instructed, my current .htaccess is at the root directory and my cn_friendly_url.php is at the same folder as my show_news.php in /cms folder.

However, I am getting this error when I load a page,


Warning: include(/home3/name/public_html/cms/layouttest1.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home3/name/public_html/cms/cn_friendly_url.php on line 66

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home3/name/public_html/cms/layouttest1.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home3/name/public_html/cms/cn_friendly_url.php on line 66

Note that my /layouttest1.php is where my news are displayed at and it is located at my root directory.

My current .htaccess is this,

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cms/cn_friendly_url.php?rew=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}[L]

Re: URL REWRITER

File layouttest1.php is must be located at the directory ./cms. Move layouttest1.php in cms folder or make a cms/layouttest1.php with code: 

<?php include '/home3/name/public_html/layouttest1.php';

Re: URL REWRITER

Hi,

I have moved the file layouttest1.php to the same folder.

When I click on [Read More], the URL simply changed to this

http://my-site.com/cms/news/view/137484167...ttest1.php&amp;[L]=

instead of this,

http://my-site.com/cms/news/view/1374841674/5

Furthermore, the loaded page (http://my-site.com/cms/news/view/1374841674/5?rew=layouttest1.php&[L]=) is exactly the same as my index page (meaning the page didn't change at all except for the URL).
