Hi a friend of mine is using e107 on his site and we are having troubles using mod_rewrite. the problem is that we want the forum to have nice urls at the moment they look like this http://www.<site>.net/e107_plugins/f...iewforum.php?5 but we are trying to get mod_rewrite to make them look like http://www.<site>.net/forum.php but well it dont work it makes the main page of the forum url look like http://www.<site>.net/forum.php but anylinks clicked in the forum keep it at the main page and changes the url to that of the page like http://www.<site>.net/e107_plugins/f...iewforum.php?5 its probly just something heaps simple we messed up so any ideas guys? at the moment the htaccess file looks like this Code: ErrorDocument 400 /error.php?400 ErrorDocument 401 /error.php?401 ErrorDocument 403 /error.php?403 ErrorDocument 404 /error.php?404 ErrorDocument 500 /error.php?500 RewriteEngine on RewriteRule forum.php e107_plugins/forum/forum.php RewriteRule stats.php e107_plugins/log/stats.php?1 RewriteRule contact.php e107_plugins/contactform_menu/contactform.php <Files articles> ForceType application/x-httpd-php </Files>
we used to run e107 on an old clan forum.. probably best to post this on their forums if they're still around
Mod rewrite are funny ones. If you want to hide the .php ext this can be done, so it just reads www.<site>.com/forum/ RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^forum(\/*)$ e107_plugins/forum/forum.php RewriteRule ^stats(\/*)$ e107_plugins/log/stats.php?1 --- What is the ?1 for RewriteRule ^contact(\/*)$ e107_plugins/contactform_menu/contactform.php The ^ denotes the string to match, the (\/*) allows it to match forum with the forwards/backwards slashes or without the slash at all. The $ denotes end of string to match. For the stats page does it take a paramater in the URL like showthread.php?t=188002 Edit: oops forgot the $ on the ends of the lines.
