so lemme understand this you have other links that are not within the modx template and you do not want the friendly URL’s to affect them? If so just make it via a weblink and friendly url’s will not touch these.
If you want to enable friendly urls you can PM for any questions i just ended up reading a rack of info on this and the wiki page unfortunately is not up-to-date or correct which opengeek informed me when i had my headaches. I had some trouble understanding exactly what you were asking.
To enable friendly url’s you will only need to do
if modx is in a sub directory of your root html folder you will need to edit .htaccess. For instance angrygamers modx is installed in agx so I had to edit my .htaccess like so
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /agx
it is also a good idea to have your header chunk to include the following line
<base href="[(site_url)]"></base>
You only need to enable friendly_urls and friendly_alias_urls and rename the root ht.access to .htaccess. - opengeek
Again I am sorry if all this was un-needed I tried to answer as much as possible without understanding exactly you were looking for.
