Hi,

I have a site that is using Gallery add-on.
I had someone help me from the forum writing the re-write rule for it so i can view in url friendly way.

this is the orginal url:
shaysamia.com/portfolionew.html?galAlbum=Ariana

this is what i want it to look like:
shaysamia.com/portfolionew/Ariana/

This is part of mu rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^portfolionew/([^_]*)$ /index.php?q=portfolionew&galAlbum=$1 [L]

It is not working for :
shaysamia.com/portfolionew/Ariana/

help?

thanks

Would it work to just change the container suffix in System Settings?

Otherwise, try this:

RewriteRule portfolionew\.html?$ portfolionew/  [L]

Try this:

RewriteRule ^portfolionew/Adriana/$ portfolionew.html?galAlbum=Adriana [NC]

or if you wish to rewrite all pages in that directory:

RewriteRule ^portfolionew/(*.)$ portfolionew.html?galAlbum=$1 [NC]

hi...

BobRay: I tried the rewrite u sent me, but it is not working.

Bowkilled: Also tried urs, but i get an internal server error, therefore I removed it.

This is what i have in my htaccess file in regards to url friend:

# The Friendly URLs part
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^portfolio/([^/]+)/$ index.php?galAlbum=$1 [L,QSA]
#RewriteRule ^portfolionew/([^_]*)$ /index.php?q=portfolionew&galAlbum=$1 [L]

The last line i commended it since it is not working.

my url should eventually be:
http://shaysamia.com/portfolionew/xxx/

which is equivalent to:
http://shaysamia.com/portfolionew.html?galAlbum=xxx

any ideas?

thanks again.

I think you were pretty close with that last line - you do need the 'q=' parameter.

Just guessing here:

# The Friendly URLs part
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^portfolio/([^/]+)/$ index.php?q=portfolionew&galAlbum=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

I think my rule would work, but you'd have to put it above the MODX rule and remove the [L].

thanks again guys, but no luck.

lucas: if i put your code, i get page not found in portfolionew.

bobray: if i put yours, it doesn't handle the "xxx".

here is my updated code:

# The Friendly URLs part
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#
# all pages of website
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
#
# used for the current portfolio: example: http://www.shaysamia.com/portfolio/conceptual/
RewriteRule ^portfolio/([^/]+)/$ index.php?galAlbum=$1 [L,QSA]
#
# used for NEW portfolio: example: http://www.shaysamia.com/portfolionew/Ariana
#RewriteRule ^portfolionew/([^/]+)/$ index.php?q=portfolionew&galAlbum=$1 [L,QSA]
#RewriteRule portfolionew\.html?$ portfolionew/  [L]

can i send u guys my u & p to the htaccess via PM?

Let's back up, if you enter this URL in the browser, does it take you to the right place?

shaysamia.com/portfolionew/Ariana/
