Hi, we've been running your ISAPI successfully for 3 years using a mapfile.

from:
domain.com/sunholidays/index.asp?Season=Summer&Resort=ABC123

to
domain.com/sunholidays/summer/countryname/resortname/hotelname

Is it possible to add a date and code (3 letter airport code) in the new URL? This would then show prices for that hotel for that date/departure.

like this:
domain.com/sunholidays/summer/countryname/resortname/hotelname/departuredate/departureairportcode

I assume you don't want to change mapfile.
Well, we can try to leave what you have as it is and convert the following as:

domain.com/sunholidays/index.asp?[Season=Summer&Resort=ABC123]&date=YYY&code=ZZZ
----> -----> ----->
domain.com/sunholidays/summer/countryname/resortname/hotelname/YYY/ZZZ

This will require only minor changes in the rule.

Regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Would prefer not to change the mapfile. Think your suggestion would work, what would the minor change be?

Please, provide the one you have so I'd edit it.

Thanks Andrew,

Below is the code we currently use:

RewriteRule ^sunholidays/summer/(.+?)/?$ sunholidays/index.asp?Resort=${mapfile:$1}&Season=S [NC,L]

We also have a 301 redirect:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Season=S&Resort=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^sunholidays/index\.asp$ sunholidays/summer/${revmapfile:%1}? [NC,R=301,L]

many thanks

Try using the following

Code:
RewriteRule ^sunholidays/summer/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/?$ sunholidays/index.asp?Resort=${mapfile:$1}&Season=S&date=$2&code=$3 [NC,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Season=S&Resort=([^&]+)&date=([^&]+)&code=([^&]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^sunholidays/index\.asp$ sunholidays/summer/${revmapfile:%1}/%2/%3? [NC,R=301,L]


Regards
Andrew

Thanks Andrew, that works perfectly.

I want to add another parameter (duration):

Code:
RewriteRule ^sunholidays/summer/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/?$ sunholidays/index.asp?Resort=${mapfile:$1}&Season=S&date=$2&duration=$3&code=$4 [NC,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Season=S&Resort=([^&]+)&date=([^&]+)&duration=([^&]+)&code=([^&]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^sunholidays/index\.asp$ sunholidays/summer/${revmapfile:%1}/%2/%3/%4? [NC,R=301,L]


This works when a duration is selected (7 or 14), however sometimes the duration parameter may be blank, in order to show both 7 and 14 durations. This doesn't work when left blank.

The best way is to have one rule without duration parameter and one with it. Don't try to combine those, it's often worse than having 2 rules.
