Hello dear community,

I’m facing a new problem trying to set up friendly URLs on modx revolution 2.0.8-pl. I chose to use aliases, which are working very great.

I’m trying to add a prefix to the files path and this options is not avaible on the systems settings.

To make it clear, the original path is :

www.mysite.com/index.php?id=2
becomes www.mysite.com/2.html with friendly URLs
and it would be perfect to become www.mysite.com/pages/2.html

Aka simulating the presence of a folder at the root of the server.

Did you ever wanted to do the same ? If yes, would you share a how-to ?

Thanks a lot,

Duk3.

Hi,

you could find an answer to your question in this forum. I am using this technic for my pagination.

~~I ’ll post a link here ASAP.~~

Here is an extract of my .htaccess file
```
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /page/(.+?) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /?page=%1 [L,QSA,NC]
```
You have to rewrite a plugin GetPageFURL (here is mine)
```
if ($modx->event->name == 'OnWebPagePrerender') {
$output = $modx->resource->_output;
$output = preg_replace('%/(.+?)/\\?page=(.+?)%mis', '/$1/page/$2', $output);
$output = preg_replace('%/(.+?)/page/1%mis','/$1/', $output);
$modx->resource->_output = $output;
```
This code is an extract from my DB dump, i’ll have to remove the escaped characters (there must be some errors )

You can easily adapt this code to your needs
