configurable extension for url_rewrite

[kiwix]

Hello,

i will suggest the following feature:

A new variable in the config.inc.php like:

$phpwcms["rewrite_ext"] = ".cms";

beside a small change in front.func.inc.php:

function url_search($query) {
if ( substr($query,0,4) == '?id=') {
$noid = substr($query, 4);
$file = str_replace(',', '.', $noid). $GLOBALS['phpwcms']["rewrite_ext"];
} else {
$noid = substr($query,1);
$file = str_replace(',', '.', $noid) . $GLOBALS['phpwcms']["rewrite_ext"];
}
$link = ' href="'.$file.'"';
return($link);
}

This will give anybody the possibilty to modifiy the extension from phtml to wcms (or whatever they want).

A small change to config.inc.php and the .htaccess and everything is possibe.

Does anyone (instead of me) would like to see that in the upcoming 1.27?

Cheers
KiWiX

hehe,
I would like to have a .cfm extension, because I'm a CFML programmer, but have no money to buy a CF server, so I could fake that :-/

I don't understand your intention, to change the extension.
but I think it's really a personal taste and most users don't need that.
And with your piece of code, everyone can do that.

an other would like to have 10+34+0+0+1.ext or 10/34/0/0/1 why not, but for the most users it should be ok to have the standard phpwcms rewritten phtml url.

(you need to suggest to, that each new extension like cms need to be parsed throught php!)

Code: Select all

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .cms

No that's not correct. With phpwcms and an enabled mod_rewrite you can user every extension you want. At the moment it's fixed to phtml, which was the default extension of php2 applications (okay really old )

you are right! the mod_rewrite rewrite anything to the right file (index.php).
