phpwcms Support Forum

Hi

I was wondering if the mod rewrite function for phpwcms could be made to include the pathway of where you are in the site - like a breadcrumb - for example at the moment however deep you are in the site the url is always written like this

http://www.mysite.com/photography.phtml

This is great but is it posible to include the hierarchy of the site in the url - ie if the section 'photography'' is a child of the section 'Portfolio' it would be written like this:

http://www.domain.com/portfolio/photography.phtml

I noticed that in previous versions of wcms you could use '/' in an alias and thus produce this effect (as long as you had a base href link in the template) . This is no longer possible in the current DEV release.

Some may say this is not really neccessary but I think it looks more professional.

Cheers

hello

you're not the first who ask for that

and as far as i know this is not possible!

Hi

it's complicated because the real Address to the Content is not in a Path like Portfolio - wath Rewrite is doing is just a 'tranlation' of the Part

index?id=13,67,0,0,1,0 into a friendly Address like test.phtml

and there is no Path-Information in to 'translate'

Ok I think I understand. Thats a shame though. How do other cms do it?

You could work around it in the previous version of wcms by using a '/' in the alias and a base href in the template. This is not possible any more with 1.2 1 - it converts the '/' into a '_'

hello

sorry i've never seen this!

Hi Pappnase

You would enter the alias as such:



make sure the header of the template has this html code:
the see here:

http://wallcreative.com/portfolio/thisi ... test.phtml


That was my work around the problem anyway.
But now in the DEV version it doesnt let you.

how about putting the following rule in your .htaccess file above your default page rewriting rules:

RewriteRule portfolio/(.*)$ $1 [PT]

This would rewrite portfolio/page.phtml to page.phtml and then to index.php?page, but to the user it'd appear as http://example.com/portfolio/page.phtml.

You'd need one such entry in htaccess for each directory you want to do this with though.
