Urgent Help Needed

[swc]

Hi guys, I am looking to change

http://www.domain.com/pictures/member/m ... ?uname=aaa

to something like this

http://www.domain.com/pictures/member/aaa

also let me know what other changes I need to do. Currently, all the pictures uplaoded by the users reside in one single folder only.


thanks,
will be great if i receive help at the earliest.

Caterham, I saw you helping many of them. Can you please help me.

Thanks,

You should read the posts in the beginners section we've gone over this a million times

RewriteRule ^/pictures/member/([^/]+)? /memberpanel.php?uname=$1 [L]


Now just make sure you links output the static version .../aaa

Thanks seomike, but it doesn't work

[Caterham]

are you using the rules in httpd.conf or on .htaccess files?

For the last one, use

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pictures/member/([^/.]+)/?$ /pictures/member/memberpanel.php?uname=$1 [L]

but remember: mod_rewrite cannot change the link in your surce code.

thanks caterham, it is the last one ie .htaccess . but I have access to the pictures folder only, no root folder access so will it work if put the .htaccess file directly in the pictures folder or I need to make some more changes to the same.

thanks

try in /pictures/.htaccess

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^member/([^/.]+)/?$ /pictures/member/memberpanel.php?uname=$1 [L]

or in /pictures/.htaccess

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^member/([^/.]+)/?$ /member/memberpanel.php?uname=$1 [L]

or in /pictures/members/.htaccess

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ memberpanel.php?uname=$1 [L]

Hi Caterham,

Thanks for that help. Well now the link


http://www.domain.com/pictures/member/aaa is working if you try to access it by giving this path directly.

However the problem is that it does't get redirected to this path automatically and I keep seeing the old path only which is
http://www.domain.com/pictures/member/m ... ?uname=aaa

Any idea, why this is happening and how can I solve it.

thanks,

[Caterham]

you'll have to change all links in your script manually to the "static" form

Thanks, I will change them and see.
