Hello everyone!
Introduction:
First of all, I hope I posted this thread in the correct section (sorry if not..). I run a website for over 3 years now but I never used a CMS before (just plain HTML/CSS/JS files and directory hierarchy). It took me a while to figure out which CMS I want to use and decided to use MODX due to its promissed flexibility of configuration. After working with MODX for a week now I stumbled over a few questions and I would be very glad if someone could help me out.
General Info:
Server type: Apache
PHP version: 7.0
Database: MySQL 5.5
MODX version: Revolution 2.5.2-pl (no plugins/snippets running)
Problem Description:
Basically, I want to have a similar directory hierarchy as the default webserver. Including friendly URLs without displaying the "index.php" and general ".php" file extensions. I tried to set up contexts to seperate the individual nodes but I failed to make it work.
Wanted Hierarchy:
> Home (default index)
> About
--> Page1
--> Page2
--> Page3
> Blog
--> Article1
--> Article2
--> Article3
etc.
Each of the main nodes (Home, About, Blog,...) should have a page as well.
URL syntax:
All the pages should be reachable following this syntax:
Home:
http://website.com
About:
http://website.com/about
About/Page1:
http://website.com/about/page1
Blog:
http://website.com/blog
Blog/Article1:
http://website.com/blog/16/11/24/title-of-the-article OR
http://website.com/blog/161124-title-of-the-article
Current .htaccess file content
...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# www to non-www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
# hide index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
....
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Aeon
