help with clean URL's

[stvwlf]

hi - appreciate help creating clean url's.

clean URL is
http://domain.com/portfolio/type/page
where portfolio is an actual folder,
type is one of identity, web, print
page is a number

real url to be
http://domain.com/portfolio/portfolio.p ... $1&page=$2

.htaccess to go in http://domain.com/portfolio/

type is optional on clean URL - if not specified, on real URL type defaults to "identity"
type is alphanumeric a-z and 0-9

page is optional on clean URL - if not specified, on real URL page defaults to 1
page is numeric 1 - 99

thanks very much!

Which one is correct?

For /portfolio/, /portfolio/page/, both or neither?

Try

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/?$ ./portfolio.php?type=identity&page=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(identity|print|web)(?:/([0-9]+))?/?$ ./portfolio.php?type=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]

Hi

Thank you very much. This is working well, with one exception (below)

Quote:

...
type is alphanumeric a-z and 0-9

I tried SO hard to be accurate and still screwed it up. testing for the specific values of Type is best, which is what you used, and its working correctly. Your other question doesn't need an answer since what you did is working fine.

=================
The one thing not working completely right with the code you gave me is, if the specified URL is just http://domain.com/portfolio/, Apache sees a folder named /portfolio/, and is creating a 403 on that folder instead of redirecting to the PHP file.

When just http://domain.com/portfolio/ is specified, I'd like it to redirect to /portfolio/portfolio.php, with no parameters. I'll have the PHP handle that situation. Could you please add that one change to the code you wrote, which was

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/?$ ./portfolio.php?type=identity&page=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(identity|print|web)(?:/([0-9]+))?/?$ ./portfolio.php?type=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]

At least you tried.

Try

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^$ ./portfolio.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/?$ ./portfolio.php?type=identity&page=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(identity|print|web)(?:/([0-9]+))?/?$ ./portfolio.php?type=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]
