How to hide "hidden" folders in the FURL?

You can easily provide custom URLs in two ways in Evolution:

1. Using a snippet that makes use of the sendForward() method:
which would be called from a Resource in the correct location of the Tree to build the URL you want. This will simply present the Resource represented by the $id parameter under the URL of the Resource it is called from.

2. If you can logically find the real Resource based on a URI pattern (for example), you can create a plugin that is registered to the OnPageNotFound event that looks at the $_SERVER[’REQUEST_URI’] and uses sendForward() to serve the real Resource from your custom scheme. Here is a minimal example:

Hi,

I’m trying to implement these solutions but it seems that I could use a few more details.

I use MLX multilanguage add-on and I want to hide the first folder in the URL, corresponding to the language container. I want www.example.com/en/page.html to be available as www.example.com/page.html . I only want this for the main language.

Is this possible?


Thank you.

You can hide from HTACCES (burt you nieed to modifie menu snippets)
putting this

RewriteRule ^(----dirToHide-------)/(.*)$ $1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

instead this

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

would something like this possible with OpenGeeks plugin code from above, or with htaccess ... can someone maybe provide an example code // xyzvisual’s htaccess solution didn’t work for me

thanks, j

Hi.
I find the solution for Revolution. Not nice, but worked for me. It is a little modification of core code. After a day of testing I did not notice the problems, but does not mean that they are not possible.
I changed this file:
core\model\modx\modcachemanager.class.php
Revo v2.04 pl2.
Line 79
From this:

to

And
Line 135:

to:


You must clear cache to see changes.

I have a link like http://syd-srv06.ezyreg.com/~haha7316/personal/personal/CV/
I want to make it like http://syd-srv06.ezyreg.com/~haha7316/personal/CV/
remove /personal/ fully from the link.
some more links :
Currently : http://syd-srv06.ezyreg.com/~haha7316/lumina-diem/Case-History/Section-1/
I want it : http://syd-srv06.ezyreg.com/~haha7316/lumina-diem/Case-History-Section-1/
replace / with -

Currently : http://syd-srv06.ezyreg.com/~haha7316/lumina-diem/Transcripts/Transcripts-Section-5-Temporary-Orders-Hearing/
i want it : http://syd-srv06.ezyreg.com/~haha7316/lumina-diem/Transcripts-Section-5-Temporary-Orders-Hearing/
remove /Transcripts/ fully from the link.
--------
Note: /personal/personal/ here both are weblinks,parent weblink : personal->personal(child weblink)->CV(Document)
Its nice to organise the documents in this way but i am using furl with path enabled so now some child weblinks(contailers) are badly needed to removed from the full URL.
---------

How can i do it using .htaccess ?

My current .htaccess is like followings :

Appreciate the info, it’s good to know.

I would like to hide certain hidden folders from the friendly alias path as well (and switching off friendly alias path is not an option). However, the core modification DJ suggested can't be applied anymore, seems like the code has slightly changed.

I thought I could also hide certain folders from the URL by creating RewriteRules. But I can't get it to work (I'm not an expert on rewriterules).

Anyone got an idea what I should add before (or after) the Friendly URLs part of MODX to hide the container named 'SERVICE'?



I don't know if this is even possible, because it would be a rewriterule that is applied after the friendly alias path is created...

hope someone can help!

Hey michelle,

is it just a single folder you want to hide, i.e. where your modx installation resides?

I solved this problem by merely altering your furls part to this:



While cms is my modx installation folder. Then, you also have to alter your config.inc.php and your contexts site_url setting and your relative paths to css files, images etc.

If you set your configuration to show full paths as /container/alias.html and only want to hide certain containers, youmight want to go with a different solution. A quick solution would be to just take every single url and rewrite it:



or more generally



While I am not sure whether the second example is syntactically correct and works right away...
