Anyone can give an example of how the rewrite should look like if i wanted to use it for this link example..

http://www.mysite.nl/site/modules.php?name=Downloads

I still use the original GT so I will respond with that. In header.php you would have

Code:

function replace_for_mod_rewrite(&$s) {


    $urlin = array("'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Downloads'");


    $urlout = array("downloads.html");


    $s = @preg_replace($urlin, $urlout, $s);


    return $s;


}

Then the .htaccess would be

Code:

RewriteRule ^downloads.html downloads.html [L]

ah okay,but where should the header part be put?
cause different positions turns site into blank..

I just noticed a typo in my other post - sorry.

Code:

$urlout = array("'"downloads.html"'");





should be





$urlout = array("downloads.html");

I have fixed it. Does that solve your problem or do you need the full GT code for your site?

well raven,weird thing is..
i took that "original"?..stuff from that gt next gen site...(version 2003 ?) and installed it by the letter..
but then i got on all modules ...you cannot access this directly common error...
was easy install but test site went dead...
and therefore unable to see if it all works....

I assumed that you were already using GT and could just modify your statements to accommodate those - sorry Smile

In header.php you probably have code similar to

Code:

if (eregi("header.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {


    Header("Location: index.php");


    die();


}





require_once("mainfile.php");

Modify it to read

Code:

if (eregi("header.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {


    Header("Location: index.php");


    die();


}





ob_start();


function replace_for_mod_rewrite(&$s) {


    $urlin = array("'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Downloads'");


    $urlout = array("downloads.html");


    $s = @preg_replace($urlin, $urlout, $s);


    return $s;


}





require_once("mainfile.php");

Then in footer.php insert this code after function foot();

Code:

$contents = ob_get_contents(); // store buffer in $contents


ob_end_clean(); // delete output buffer and stop buffering


echo replace_for_mod_rewrite($contents); //display modified buffer to screen

So do i understand this correctly?
can a simple rewrite be used with nuke without installing a full GT ?

I gave you all the code you need to rewrite and GT that. You don't need anything else. What exactly are you wanting to do?

well i was reading some stuff on rewrite yesterday and got caught by the idea and started trying...
but i got stuck on the usual stuff people use and that didnt worked...
and what i want?
I just wanna see how it goes if i just change one url...like the one posted of the downloads,so to let it end as .html

But unless you have code in nuke to translate that back to what nuke uses it does no good. See what I mean? You can have

Code:

RewriteRule ^modules.php?name=Whatever Whatever.html [L]

and that will rewrite the url but nuke won't know what to do with it unless you have a file called Whatever.html.

Yes i see,so the piece you posted above would be enough?

Posted: Sat May 28, 2005 1:58 pm

ok...used the posted part and that works..
so now the tricky part...
using it for more mods does it simply means..duplicate the...

Code:




$urlin = array("'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Downloads'"); 


$urlout = array("downloads.html");

?

Yes, but there's much, much more if you start passing data through the url Laughing

- Better read up on mod_rewrite Wink
