Image Gallery mod_rewrite

[pietergroenewald]

Hi,

I have a image gallery installed and want to make the URL's rendered search engine friendly. I have read some guides on mod_rewrite but I am new to all this and to be honest, I am stuck

At the moment the layout is as follows:

domain.com/index.php?page=gallery (Shows album lists)
domain.com/index.php?page=gallery&album=animals (Shows photos in album animals)
domain.com/index.php?page=gallery&action=view&album=animals&image=1 (Shows image 1 when clicked)

Unfortunately the PHP image script, writes sub album URL's as follows:

domain.com/index.php?page=gallery&album=animals/cats

This causes the rewrite rule I have to not work Any way of escaping the / in the album name using mod_rewrite?

Can anyone help me rewrite the URL's to friendly URL's?

Ideally I want to to be like:

domain.com/gallery/
domain.com/gallery/animals/
domain.com/gallery/animals/1

Any help is very much appreciated!

Try

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^gallery/?$ /index.php?page=gallery [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^gallery/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=gallery&album=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^gallery/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?page=gallery&album=$1&image=$2&action=view [QSA,L]
