cotonti.com : I need help with mod_rewrite https://www.cotonti.com Son konu mesajları Cotonti en Sun, 11 Jan 2026 22:33:58 -0000 Twiebie Awesome!

]]> Cum, 03 Oca 2014 21:44:06 -0000 aro747 Changed to 'Handy' from urltrans.dat and it works perfectly.  Thank you so much!  Really appreciate your help.

]]> Cum, 03 Oca 2014 21:29:47 -0000 Twiebie Did you remove your own ./datas/urltrans.dat file that you created earlier? It's not needed if you are using the handy preset.

Don't forget to clear the cache in the administration panel after you made any changes.

]]> Cum, 03 Oca 2014 21:23:03 -0000 aro747 Thanks, that helped a lot.  Almost there.

Now I'm getting:

/profiles/biopharma/?al=Gilead-Sciences

I would like to make it:

/profiles/biopharma/Gilead-Sciences

 

]]> Cum, 03 Oca 2014 21:09:44 -0000 Twiebie The rules should be applied to your main .htaccess file, which should be in the root of your site.

Follow these instructions and you should be good to go:

]]> Cum, 03 Oca 2014 10:42:49 -0000 aro747 I have completed this by createing the .htaccess and urltrans.dat file in the /datas directory.  Is that correct?

Does the URL Editor plugin need to be running for this to work and what setting for it?  

Right now its like nothing has happened.  All the old urls are working, nothing has changed.  

This is what I have in my site:

/index.php?e=page&c=biopharma&al=Gilead-Sciences

I would like to change it to this:

/profiles/biopharma/Gilead-Sciences

Thanks for your help.

As for .htaccess, that looks good too. Just make sure you have this in there as well:

Options FollowSymLinks -Indexes -MultiViews
DirectoryIndex index.php

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(datas|images|js|lib|modules|plugins|themes)/(.*)$ $1/$2 [L]

Make sure that the rules for page/list are at the bottom in the .htaccess. Also, don't remove the other rules for admin,users etc, because otherwise those pages will become inaccessible. Add these rules for messages to work:

RewriteRule ^message/([0-9]+)$		message.php?msg=$1 [NC,NE,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^message/([0-9]+)/(.*)$	message.php?msg=$1&redirect=$2 [NC,NE,QSA,L]

Here is an example:
I want to look in the list called "debate" and I type in www.megamind.se/news/debate and I'm transported to www.megamind.se/message/950 which is a blank page. If I instead write www.megamind.se/debate I go to the same place as before www.megamind.se/message/950. So my guess is that it has to do with these rules, with in the URLtrans.dat and .htaccess :

URLtrans.dat
list	c=*	{list_url_structure()}
page	*	{page_url_structure()}

.htaccess
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$				 page.php?id=$1 [NC,NE,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-/]+)/([0-9]+)$             page.php?id=$2 [NC,NE,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+)$                       page.php?al=$1 [NC,NE,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-/]+)/([a-z0-9-]+)$         page.php?al=$2 [NC,NE,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+)/$                      list.php?c=$1 [NC,NE,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-/]+)/([a-z0-9-]+)/$        list.php?c=$2 [NC,NE,QSA,L]
]]> Çrş, 19 Oca 2011 18:40:46 -0000 GHengeveld Remember that you have to modify the Menu entries in the adminpanel to contain your new URLs.]]> Çrş, 19 Oca 2011 18:31:11 -0000 aiwass
The only parts that work with the URL rewrite is megamind.se/admin/ and megamind.se/profile/ and nothing else, like pages and lists.

In the functions.custom.php there is reference to cot_cat but that should be sed_cat.]]> Çrş, 19 Oca 2011 18:07:51 -0000 GHengeveld 2. In my above example, replace page.php?c= with list.php?c= (it's a Siena thing), for both .htaccess and urltrans.dat.
3. Try emptying your site cache (admin -> other -> internal cache).]]> Çrş, 19 Oca 2011 17:55:09 -0000 aiwass What I've noticed is that error messages are URL rewritten into http://www.megamind.se/message/950 but nothing else is working as it should. I'm reverting back to alias so that my visitors can enjoy the site while the problem is solved. I've tried both Trustmasters way and your way, but it just won't work. Annoying and rather strange, since I believe you guys know what you are doing, I don't :)

Now my site just displays the header, but without any CSS cosmetics and the source looks like this and it's HTML5:

RewriteRule ^(.*?).html$ page.php?id=$1
In this rule, the value for (.*?) on the left is placed in place of $1 on the right (much like variables in PHP). The problem with this is that you can only use numbers, since you're giving the ID of the page. Therefore this rule will only work correctly for URLs like 1.html, 2.html etc. If you want to have URLs that look nice, by using the page title in the URL, you'll have to use the alternative method that Cotonti provides for calling a page, namely by using the 'al' query parameter instead of 'id'. This results in the following rule:
RewriteRule ^(.*?).html$ page.php?al=$1
This will allow you to call pages by their alias instead of their ID. In your case you don't have aliases, which makes that this doesn't work. Thats why you need aliases. Fortunately the autoalias2 plugin can automatically generate those, even for already existing pages. I suggest you follow Trustmaster's guidelines to make them look nicer. So, first you update the plugin with the new replacement code, then you run the UPDATE query to remove all existing aliases. Finally you run the plugin again so aliases are re-created for all of your pages.

The rewriting system in Cotonti consists of two parts: the Rewrite Rules in .htaccess, and the URL Transformation Rules in datas/urltrans.dat.

The Rewrite Rules allow your pages to be accessed through better looking URLs. This is not really related to Cotonti since it's just normal Apache server behavior (provided by the mod_rewrite Apache module).

The URL Transformation Rules are used by Cotonti's cot_url() function to make it output URLs that match the Rewrite Rules. This is needed because the Rewrite Rules only add aliases for URLs. So long as you don't update your site to actually use these aliases, nobody will know they exist (including Google). Cotonti uses the cot_url() function throughout. Basically this function gets a raw (old) URL, but split into separate parts for filename, query parameters (?a=b&c=d) and hash tag (#abc). It then loops through all the rules in urltrans.dat and looks for a match between those parts and any of the URL Transformation Rules. If it finds one, it will map the URL with the rule, basically doing the reverse of what a Rewrite Rule does. In the end all URLs in Cotonti will have a different format, determined by the transformation rules. Google will index these URLs. Of course, every URL Transformation Rule should have a matching Rewrite Rule. You see they work in pairs, one being the inverse of the other.

By the way, I recommend editing your datas/urltrans.dat directly using a text editor. It's less confusing than the admin tool and makes it easier to edit it in parallel to the .htaccess file.

Added 2 hours 2 minutes later:

Ok, here's a start.

urltrans.dat:

Page URLs would need a function, since they don't have category names in their parameters. Create a file system/functions.custom.php and add a function to make page urls:
function page_url_structure(&$args)
{
	global $sed_cat, $pag, $row, $rpagecat, $c, $newpagecat;


	$page_cat = (!empty($sed_cat[$rpagecat]['path']) && empty($page_cat)) ? $sed_cat[$rpagecat]['path'] : $page_cat;
	$page_cat = (!empty($sed_cat[$pag['page_cat']]['path']) && empty($page_cat)) ? $sed_cat[$pag['page_cat']]['path'] : $page_cat;
	$page_cat = (!empty($sed_cat[$row['page_cat']]['path']) && empty($page_cat)) ? $sed_cat[$row['page_cat']]['path'] : $page_cat;
	//$page_cat = (!empty($sed_cat[$args['c']]['path']) && empty($page_cat)) ? $sed_cat[$args['c']]['path'] : $page_cat;
	$page_cat = (!empty($sed_cat[$newpagecat]['path']) && empty($page_cat)) ? $sed_cat[$newpagecat]['path'] : $page_cat;

	if (empty($page_cat)) $page_cat = 'articles';
	if($args['id'])
	{
		$url = $page_cat.'/';
		$url .= $args['id'] . '/';
		unset($args['id']);
	}
	elseif($args['al'])
	{
		$url = $page_cat.'/';
		$url .= urlencode($args['al']) . '/';
		unset($args['al']);
	}
	return $url;
}

And finally add mod_rewrite rules to your .htaccess:
# Rewrite engine options
Options FollowSymLinks -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
# Path to Cotonti
RewriteBase /

# Protect static paths
RewriteRule (datas|images|js|skins|plugins|system)/(.*)$ $1/$2 [L]

# Pages by ID
RewriteRule ([a-z]+)/([0-9]+)/ page.php?id=$2 [QSA,NC,NE,L]
# Pages by alias
RewriteRule ([a-z]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+)/ page.php?al=$2 [QSA,NC,NE,L]
# Category
RewriteRule ([a-z]+)/ list.php?c=$1 [QSA,NC,NE,L]

or edit problematic aliases manually.]]> Çrş, 19 Oca 2011 04:30:42 -0000 aiwass So basically I have to set aliases for roughly 6000 pages in order to get mod_rewrite happening on my website?

I should have gone for Wordpress back in 2002, then this problem wouldn't have existed. FUCK!

So, 5155 pages now have aliases, but it ain't pretty!
Ex: http://www.megamind.se/page.php?al=track-of-the-day---18th-january-2011]]> Çrş, 19 Oca 2011 03:30:14 -0000 GHengeveld Çrş, 19 Oca 2011 03:25:54 -0000 aiwass My idea (if feasible) is to the following structure/paths:
www.megamind.se/debate/
www.megamind.se/labelnews/
www.megamind.se/djcharts/
according to the list in my initial post above etc. etc.

And pages within those above stated categories (this might be the hardest one):
www.megamind.se/debate/a-vote-is-everything-in-a-poll/ => www.megamind.se/page.php?id=4861
www.megamind.se/labelnews/shifted-presents-drained/ => www.megamind.se/page.php?id=5509
www.megamind.se/djcharts/alexi-delano-january-chart/ => www.megamind.se/page.php?id=5485
according to the list in my initial post above etc. etc.

OR

www.megamind.se/debate/4861/ => www.megamind.se/page.php?id=4861
www.megamind.se/labelnews/5509/ => www.megamind.se/page.php?id=5509
www.megamind.se/djcharts/5485/ => www.megamind.se/page.php?id=5485
according to the list in my initial post above etc. etc.

FORUMS
I'm going to delete the forums from the site, since no one is using them, they are only available for members anyway.

Is it doable?]]> Çrş, 19 Oca 2011 03:20:24 -0000 GHengeveld Try a google search for mod_rewrite and you'll know what we mean.]]> Çrş, 19 Oca 2011 03:16:18 -0000 Kingsley

isn't this kinda what the page aliases plug-in does?]]> Çrş, 19 Oca 2011 03:09:29 -0000 GHengeveld
- Do you want to use 'subfolders', so the path to a file in the CMS is also the path in the URL? This complicates things a lot but looks much better.
- Do you have other site areas to rewrite, such as forums?
- File extension (.html seems to be best for SEO, but no extension at all looks better)

I think it's a good idea to develop a SEO-friendly and cross-site implementation here, so we can put it in documentation, or even provide it with Cotonti by default.

Here's an example:
/path/to/somefolder => list.php?c=somefolder
/somefolder => list.php?c=somefolder
/path/to/somepage.html => page.php?al=somepage
/somepage.html => page.php?al=somepage
/path/to/someID.html => page.php?id=someID
/someID.html => page.php?id=someID
/forums/somesection/sometopictitle.html => forums.php?m=posts&q=sometopicID
/path/to/somefolder.rss => rss.php?c=somefolder
