I'm a total novice at mod rewrite so I'll try and present my question as clearly as possible:
I'm trying to create a url redirect of the following (static) affiliate url that can append it self to any product links after using a query string:
affiliate url:
hxxp://clk.affilite.com/fs-bin/click?id=aFb*BBBBBpQ&subid=&offerid=9999.2&type=5&tmpid=9999&RD_PARM1=
product url:
hxxp:// example.domain.com
What I want to achieve is redirecting the affiliate code as below and being able to add dynamic product urls after as the following examples show:
rewritten affiliate url:
hxxp://domain.com/go
affiliate url + product url:
hxxp://domain.com/go?=http://example.domain.com
redirects to:
hxxp://clk.affilite.com/fs-bin/click?id=aFb*BBBBBpQ&subid=&offerid=9999.2&type=5&tmpid=9999&RD_PARM1=http://example.domain.com
EDIT:
Ok starting to get somewhere using the below suggestion as follows:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule ^/?yo$ hxxp://google.com%1 [R,L]
Visiting:
hxxp://domain.com/yo?=hxxp://product.com
Outputs:
hxxp://www.google.comhxxp//product.com?=hxxp://product.com
it keeps the product url at the end of the redirected url it also gives a 404 if there are additional = symbols later in the url which there are.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule ^/?go$ hxxp://...&RD_PARM1=%1 [R,L]

I need to change form action urls from http to https, I've added the following code to .htaccess but that doesn't change form urls:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
The ecommerce system uses the Smarty function _createUrl for the form action url, and I see in that function in Abstract.php there is the following code:
$isSecure = preg_match('/on/i', $_SERVER['HTTPS']) ? 1 : 0;
So I guess either that is not working or it's being overridden.
If I add the following line below the above check, it makes no difference.
$isSecure = 1;
However if I add the following then the form action url becomes a relative path and therefore uses https.
$aParamList['secure'] = 1;
Any ideas please?
To secure my URL I am trying to add some additional numeric values to the user's id using mod_rewrite.
I have this URL
https://www.domain.com/dashboard.php?userempid=48&hgid=45
I need to rewrite the above URL to
https://www.domain.com/1848-6245.html
This is what I tried and it never works
RewriteRule ^18([0-9])-62([0-9]).html$ dashboard.php?userempid=$1&hgid=$2 [NC,L]
Please Help!
Change your rule adding a plus:
RewriteRule ^18([0-9]+)\-62([0-9]+).html$ dashboard.php?userempid=$1&hgid=$2 [NC,L]
I have this old website URL structure:
site.com/folder/prod.php?cat=MAIN%20CAT%20&prodid1=123&prodtitle=PROD%20TITLE&subcat=SUB%20CAT
and real example will be something like:
site.com/folder/prod.php?cat=CAR%20AUDIO&prodid1=4444&prodtitle=MTX%20AMPS&subcat=AMPS
here you can see that for the product page there are 4 variables: category, produt id, product title and sub category. Some of this variables were used to open a menu. And yes, the URL pulls variables with space and both lower and uppercase.
The new site url has a new structure:
site.com/x/product-title-prodid2
a rel example will be like:
site.com/x/mtx-amps-8888
Which is accomplish by using two variables (friendly slug + a second product id: prodid2) with the following code in the .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^p/(.*)/$ product.php?prodid2=$1
RewriteRule ^p/(.*)$ product.php?prodid2=$1
</IfModule>
Internally we can get prodid2 if we have prodid1 from the same table, but not viceversa.
Everything works fine, but we now have to create 301 redirects and apparently since the same variables are not used in the old / new url, then it becomes tricky since apparently we have to create a single rule for the nice URL creation and the 301s?
We have tried adding the following to the htaccess:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cat=CAR%20AUDIO&prodid1=4444&prodtitle=MTX%20AMPS&subcat=AMPS$ [NC]
RewriteRule ite.com/folder/prod.php site.com/x/mtx-amps-8888? [R=301,L]
and it works for only 1 product, but when adding 2 or more, the site goes down. I imaging this would be an infinite loop?
An alternative would be adding a:
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
to get the URL and redirect to the page, but this would be ugly for SEs.
UPDATE:
Sorry for my lack of understanding on this topic, am very new to this.
The product has 2 important ids. For example:
MTX AMP (which is the actual product title) if listed in 3 categories will have 1 single prodid2 repeated and 3 different prodid1 (1 for each category). They all reside in the same table. So, if we have a prodid1 we can get the prodid2 which is right next to it in the db table.
The rule to get a nice URL on the new site is pulled using prodid2
RewriteRule ^p/(.*)$ product.php?prodid2=$1
which brings the complete value stored in the database. e.g. mtx-amps-8888 << this is a mix of a slug + the prodid2
complete url is:
site.com/p/mtx-amps-888
(the p is just a virtual forder and we take advantage of that variable to show the right page template)
So mtx-amps-888 are not 3 keys, these are generated when creating a product and saved all together in a single field in the db. They already include the separation - so this is not done in the htaccess.
The cat (key) value is really used to expand a menu used in the old site with, but to create the 301 redirect we would probably use prodid1 since we can match that value to get a prodid2. prodid2 is used as the main query to get the nice URL in the new site and its value will bring the nice URL stored in the db.
What makes sense from all my research would be the following:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^p/(.*)$ product.php?prodid2=$1
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cat=CAR%20AUDIO&prodid1=4444&prodtitle=MTX%20AMPS&subcat=AMPS$ [NC]
RewriteRule ite.com/folder/prod.php site.com/x/mtx-amps-8888? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cat=CAR%20AUDIO&prodid1=5555&prodtitle=BOSS%20AMPS&subcat=AMPS$ [NC]
RewriteRule ite.com/folder/prod.php site.com/x/mtx-amps-8888? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cat=CAR%20VIDEO&prodid1=6666&prodtitle=ALPINE%20DVDS&subcat=DVD%20PLAYERS$ [NC]
RewriteRule ite.com/folder/prod.php site.com/x/mtx-amps-8888? [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
Pls note that I removed a line from the main rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^p/(.*)/$ product.php?prodid2=$1
This only assures that the user can also use / at the end of the URL: site.com/p/mtx-amps-888/
I also repeated the rewrite condition for the 301 redirects of 3 products, but i really have about 3K products to list here. If I keep 1, it will work but if I add 2, I believe a loop is created.
Hopefully this makes sense. You have no idea how important is for me to get this up and running, so my best wishes to those who can help :)
Just re-create the file /folder/prod.php and have php do the redirect. This is the easiest and cleanest solution.
<?php
$prodid1 = $_GET['prodid1'];
//calculate prodid2 based on prodid1, or use mysql to retreive the prodid2 belonging to prodid1
$prodid2 = $prodid1;//just for testing
$newpath = "/p/$prodid2/";
// redirect using 301
header("Location: http://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$newpath}");
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
?>
this is the firsttime a put a question here, so dont hard on me. Thank you.
I currently setup a joomla site. I create a page, and a new template, and a module, inside the template/index.php i call my module.
The original url that works is something like:
index.php/danh-sach-game?gt_name=game_mang_xa_hoi
danh-sach-game: is the page.
game-mang-xa-hoi: is the input parameter to the module.
everythings works find but i want to rewrite url to this:
danh-sach-game/game-mang-xa-hoi
So i created a .htaccess with content:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^danh-sach-game/(.*)$ index.php/danh-sach-game?gt_name=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Now this is time for "MAGIC"
if i enter the url:
danh-sach-game/game-mang-xa-hoi
then Joomla push a message "An error has occurred.The requested page cannot be found."
But if i index the parameter by a number like this:
danh-sach-game/1-game-mang-xa-hoi (note: the number 1).
Then it works finds. Any paremeter index by a number will work find.
I rewrite url to a test file (replace index.php by test.php) than the page test.php receive the parameter as usuas, with or without number index the parameter.
This is because Joomla and most of the Joomla extensions uses ID column of the content as an identifier to look up the database. Some of the SEF tools (for example AceSef, sh404Sef) provide the facility to lookup using the alias name (the text after the number and hyphen) however with additional cost of database queries (they will in turn query for proper url internally).
The number in the last part of the URL will be processed and passed as ID of the particular page/content that you are viewing. This is done in the particular component's router.php file. So check the router.php file of the component you are using to check how the url gets parsed.
I am trying to write a rule that will capture any url that does NOT have sales/anything up to a .php or .php3 file and anything after that - if there is anything - and rewrite that to a new website as per below:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/sales/.*php3?).*
RewriteRule ^/sales/([^./]*)$ http://www2.domain.com/sales$1/index.shtml [R,L]
It captures if I put in www.domain.com/sales but if I put in just http://www.domain.com/sales/trucks.shtml if does not capture the individual pages.
Can anyone see what I need to do to get this to work correctly please ?
To clarify:
.If I put in url www.domain.com/sales, the site redirects to www2.domain.com/sales/index.shtml ....however if I put in the url www.domain.com/sales/trucks.shtml the condition is not picked up and the url does not rewrite to the ww2 site so I am stuck on the old page still ....thanks for your help
Alright use these 2 rules for your requirements:
RewriteRule ^sales/?$ http://www2.domain.com/sales/index.shtml [R,L,NC]
RewriteRule ^sales/(?!.*\.php3?$).*$ http://www2.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L,NC]
