Problems with shortlink rewrite (costum)

Newbie Joined: Mar 15, 2008 Posts: 4

I'm trying to rewrite let's say

"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=modules.php?name=News&new_topic=4"',

to some subject like

'this_subject',

the same with topic=5/6/7
and different rewrite to each "topic"

but it doesn't work,
Itried to do it in GT-Topics, and GT-News

the reason for that is that i want to have normal name in url bar than

article-topic 1/2/3/4/

what am i doing wrote?

ShortLinks can only tap the links using information from the links themselves. The link you posted, for example, does not have the subject in it, so it can't be tapped the way you wish. You would have to modify News and Topics module index.php to add the subject onto the URL... then you might be able to tap it.

.. and then you would have to be very careful that no subject was used again unless you add something unique to the tap like the $sid

shortalink can convert to :

Code:

RewriteRule ^article-([0-9]*)-([a-z]*)-([0-9]*)-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=$1&mode=$2&order=$3&thold=$4 [L]

replay to :

Code:

RewriteRule ^article/([0-9]*)/([a-z]*)/([0-9]*)/([0-9]*) modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=$1&mode=$2&order=$3&thold=$4 [L]

preview error :
The webpage cannot be found

You also need to match those changes in in ShortLinks/GT-News.php

file GT-News.php :
$urlin = array(
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=News&op=viewcat&catid=([0-9]*)&page=([0-9]*)"', ..........);

$urlout = array(
'article-category\\1-page\\2.html',

file : .htaccess :

Code:

RewriteRule ^article-category([0-9]*)-page([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=News&op=viewcat&catid=$1&page=$2 [L]

With all due respect, what you are asking for is a bespoke solution and is way beyond support.
You could possibly re-write 'viewcat' so it was 'category' but this may impact other things.

If you are going to be hacking code to this extent, I would suggest picking up some good books on PHP, MySQL, and something on regular expressions.

A web site admin just has to learn these things in order to be effective.

Re-coding ShortLinks for you from the '-' to '/' is not something I have time to do for you and quite frankly, it is not that difficult of a thing to do. Have you even given it a try?
