ShortLinks + search into a topic

Site Admin Joined: Aug 22, 2007 Posts: 1775

hello!

With this query i can short a topic search:

Code:

RewriteRule ^search-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Search&query=&topic=$1 [L]

I want now set the query=, too. In my theme (story-page.html) i use the following line to jump into the search list of all articles inside a topic:

Code:

modules.php?name=Search&amp;query=$topicname&amp;topic=$topic

I try it with this rule and it works:

Code:

RewriteRule ^searchtopic-([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*)-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Search&query=$1&topic=$2 [L]

But is it the right way?

looks good to me, but hard to say 100% without testing. not sure if you have any topics with spaces in them, but that is something to look/test for.

hey spasticdonkey!

that's cool!

$topicname is the name without spaces in the topic-module! i use this this to fix out the spaces in the $topictext.
