Hello,
pretty URLs are thrice in the documentation (the wiki needs help). My favorite is this one :
http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... l_Settings
You can find usefull filtering information too.
Thank you for having read the documentation before posting. You are a cool user
To your issue now : you want
www.mydomain.com/index.php?page=alias be rewritten
externaly /alias.html and I think you are right. Isn't this just a webserver external 301 redirect away ? A quick look at Apache's extern redirect hints to something like :
Code: Select all
RedirectMatch permanent ^/index.php?page=.*$ /$1.html
before all other rewritting rules.
Does this work for you ? If yes, please post your solution so we can improve the documentation. Thanks in advance and happy new year.

Hello again,
have a look at your Apache's logS, including RewriteLog.
Three ideas :
1)Put the RedirectMatch "before all other rewritting rules" hence before RewriteEngine.
2)Bug :
Code: Select all
$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true;
should be
Code: Select all
$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = false;
as you are enabling mod_rewrite (it is either or).
3)here is another try :
Code: Select all
RedirectMatch permanent ^/index.php?page=(.+)$ /$1/
BTW, see my posts about trailing slashes.

expected you use the mle (multilanguage)?
if yes is different!
# COMMENT Monolingual rule and UNCOMMENT MLE rule
#Monolingual
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]
#multilanguage - MLE
#RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.+)$ index.php?page=$2&hl=$1 [QSA]

Hello again,
it is not the fork, good, keep the mono one.

Still no luck
The URLs remain the same: if I go to
kalbercentrale.eu/index.php?page=content it stays that way instead of being rewritten to
kalbercentrale.eu/content
Any more ideas?

We need a rewritelog to know why the rewriting isn't launched.
And try full removing of trailing slashes :
Code: Select all
RedirectMatch permanent ^/index.php?page=(.+)$ /$1

nuno, I know it works
But I want it to rewrite non-pretty URL if I enter it by hand.
RedirectMatch permanent ^/index.php?page=(.+)$ /$1 before any other rewrite should do it. Dig arround your Apache conf to find if redirect is enabled. Try it with static URL and static page. When it works,
then tune it to CMSms.

Pierre, I don't want to sound like a complete n00b, but can I access Apache logs if I am not the server admin? The site is hosted at dreamhost.com
Don't worry, n00bs don't read documentation and you have read it.
But I'm afraid you need to have access to logS and rewrite logS to fit the
requirements. I don't know Dreamhost. Make redirect work without CMSms first.

So is it possible that rewrite rules work, but redirects don't?
According to
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mo ... irectmatch
RedirectMatch relies on mod_alias.
Rewrite relies on mod_rewrite.
One can be enabled and the other one disabled. Talk with your webserver administrator.
