how to work: mod rewrite in cms

[kumaran]

Greetings friends,

I enable $config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = true; but noting different in my site, I want to redirect my url

for example:  index.php?page=test ==> index.php/test

Anybody have idea about that and which file i put my coding also.

Thanks in advance,

The config file should look like this:

#------------
#URL Settings
#------------

#Show mod_rewrite URLs in the menu? You must enable 'use_hierarchy' for this to work for modules
$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = true;

#Extension to use if you're using mod_rewrite for pretty URLs.
$config['page_extension'] = '/';

#If you don't use mod_rewrite, then would you like to use the built-in
#pretty url mechanism?  This will not work with IIS and the {metadata} tag
#should be in all of your templates before enabling.
$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = false;

#If you're using the internal pretty url mechanism or mod_rewrite, would you like to
#show urls in their hierarchy?  (ex. http://www.mysite.com/parent/parent/childpage)
$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;

#If using none of the above options, what should we be using for the query string
#variable?  (ex. http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=somecontent)
$config['query_var'] = 'page';

And you have to put a file called .htaccess (without extention) in the root of your website with the following :

# Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

# 301 Redirect all requests that don't contain a dot or trailing slash to
# include a trailing slash
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
#RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]

# Rewrites urls in the form of /parent/child/
# but only rewrites if the requested URL is not a file or directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

Good luck

It automatically make's the page /about-us with a center line.

Don't know how to change this.

Mayby someone else knows.

Thanks Pierre,

I will check it.

To my knowledge, spaces in urls are a no-no. Seems whenever you make a link with a space in it, it gets translated to %20. This is equivalent to doing urlencode on the space character. I could be wrong, in which case I want to know better - anyone, is this actually possible?

To my knowledge, spaces in urls are a no-no.

I agree. It is unweby.
