Hi,

I have a question about rewritting an url.

I want to rewrite:
www.domain.com/index.cfm?navigation_id=2&seo_url1=banden
to
www.domain.com/banden

then on the second level I have:
www.domain.com/index.cfm?navigation_id=4&main_id=2&seo_url1=banden&seo_url2=contact
to
www.domain.com/banden/contact

Is that possible?

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Samall

Hi,
I think this is what you need:


RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^navigation_id=2&seo_url1=(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^index.cfm$ $1 [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^navigation_id=4&main_id=2&seo_url1=(.*)&seo_url2=(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^index.cfm$ $1/$2 [NC,L]

Hi Andrushka,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm not sure why but the rule is not working. When I try www.domain.com/banden I get a 404 file not found.
I also was wondering if it was possible to make the navigation_id dynamic. Can I use instead of navigation_id=2 > navigation_id=(.*)?


My .htaccess file looks like this:
# Helicon ISAPI_Rewrite configuration file
# Version 3.1.0.68

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^navigation_id=2&seo_url1=(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^index.cfm$ $1 [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^navigation_id=4&main_id=2&seo_url1=(.*)&seo_url2=(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^index.cfm$ $1/$2 [NC,L]

Hi,

well, yes. I did only one way rewrite
from
www.domain.com/index.cfm?navigation_id=2&seo_url1=banden
to
www.domain.com/banden

and nothing was said about redirect www.domain.com/banden to www.domain.com/index.cfm?navigation_id=2&seo_url1=banden.

Just add:
RewriteRule ^banden$ www.domain.com/index.cfm?navigation_id=2&seo_url1=banden [NC,R=301,L]

And sure you can make your id dynamic. and if there're going to be many id's i'd suggest using mapfiles. as it's
discribed in FAQ

Hi, thanks again.


I don't want to redirect. I want to rewrite:
index.cfm?navigation_id=2&seo_url1=banden to /banden

so when I type domain.com/banden I will see the page.

Thanks

Here is what you need:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^banden$ index.cfm?navigation_id=2&seo_url1=banden [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^banden/contact$ index.cfm?navigation_id=4&main_id=2&seo_url1=banden&seo_url2=contact [NC,L]

ps. i'd suggest using mapfiles if more that 100-200 rules like this one needed.

Oke thanks that is working.

So it is not posible to take the variable seo_url1=..... and use that word for the rewrite rule?

Aha, you'll need map file:

Create a map file in the same folder with .htaccess file that you use. And fill it this way:
banden navigation_id=2&seo_url1=banden
banden/contact navigation_id=4&main_id=2&seo_url1=banden&seo_url2=contact
etc navigation_id=5&main_id=5&seo_url5=banden&seo_url5=contact
etc

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteMap mapfile txt:mapfile.txt [NC]
RewriteCond ${mapfile:$1|NOT_FOUND} !NOT_FOUND
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.cfm?${mapfile:$1} [NC,L]

Thanks again for your reply.

I'm just wondering if it is really necessary to create a map file. I have used Isapi 2 and there this was working fine:


RewriteRule /content/([^/]+) /content.cfm\?url_name=$1 [I,L]
(result was www.domain.com/content/banden)
and
RewriteRule /content/([^/]+)/([^/]+) /content.cfm\?url_name=$1&action=$2 [I,L]

Mapfile makes it easier to execute huge amount of rules. So it is recommended.
But you can continue working without it.

Yeah but you are missing the point, or I'm missing it (-:
I want it to be very dynamic. So I don't know what page a user creates. When a user adds a new page I have to add it in the map file manual, and I don't want to do that.

It's always been a choice...
make it avoid slow work of ISAPI_Rewrite, but add pages manually,
OR
avoid writing URLs to the map files, but have some issues when amount of rules will exceed hundreds.

p.s. You may resolve this problem using any CMS with ISAPI_Rewrite

But isn't that the advantage of a dynamic rule? A dynamic rule needs only one line which rewrite all url's.

btw the mapfile is also working. Thanks for that.

I'd suggest separating:

index.cfm?navigation_id=(.*)&main_id=(.*)&seo_url1=(.*)&seo_url2=(.*)

any criterias that are changing put into mapfile and have all your rules rewriten.

Still one more question.

I have create a map file:
test navigation_id=2

So my url is working www.domain.com/test
Now on that page I can not use my variable navigation_id, which is in this case 2. Is there a way I can use it?

Regards

So you want navigation_id=2 to be shown in adress bar?
just add [R] flag at the end of the rule, so that it would be [NC,R,L]

No I don't want to see it in my url, I want to use in my query.

let say I have an index.cfm page:

<cfquery datasource...>
select something
from table
where id = #url.navigation_id#
</cfquery>

Now this is working fine with
RewriteRule ^banden$ index.cfm?navigation_id=2&seo_url1=banden [NC,L]

But now I use the map file, and I receive the message that url.navigation_id can not be found.

Please see: http://test.digitalmedialab.nl/samiech which is the same as http://test.digitalmedialab.nl/index.cfm?navigation_id=2&seo_url1=samiech

So what I want is to use the navigation_id variable which is coming out of my mapfile.txt

Hope you understand the question, because it is hard to explain.

Thanks again

Lets make a test:

Insert in your mapfile this entry:
samiech 2

As for test try to run this rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteMap mapfile txt:mapfile.txt [NC]
RewriteCond ${mapfile:$1|NOT_FOUND} !NOT_FOUND
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.cfm?navigation_id=${mapfile:$1}&seo_url1=$1 [NC,L]

I want to to be: http://test.digi...nl/samiech/test

Lets make another test:

Create another mapfile. Lets say it's mapf.txt:
test 2

Add for test this rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteMap mapfile txt:mapfile.txt [NC]
RewriteMap mapf txt:mapf.txt [NC]
RewriteCond ${mapfile:$1|NOT_FOUND} !NOT_FOUND
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ index.cfm?navigation_id=${mapfile:$1}&main_id=${mapfile:$2}&seo_url1=$1&seo_url2=$2 [NC,L]


This must work
