News module pretty url

Hello everybody,
I have pretty url's set for my CMSMS installation, which creates a news url like:
/news/10/98/item.html
/news/13/98/item.html
/news/12/98/item.html
I would like to change this into:
/projects/item.html
Is there a way I can achieve this?
Thanks,
Philippe

Make a look at the News module Backend once again
- you can define an individual url for every article if you write a new article.

Hmm, I suppose that's with the new version of News.
I am using CMSMS 1.8.2 and have tons of modifications which I am afraid might not work on a CMSMS update and could cost me days to fix. I rather keep everything working perfectly the way it is now and look for a Htaccess rewrite option.
I suppose it should be a bit like the following:
Code: Select all
RewriteRule ^(news+[0-9]+[0-9]+)$ /projects/$1/ [R]

It isn't advisable to keep the old version 1.8.2; it's already 4 years old. Upgrade to 1.11.10 asap for the safety of your website. Also version 1.8.2 is no longer supported,

Replacing the numbers is not a good idea cause this is needed to identify the template id and the article id

You can not use .htaccess mod_rewrite to change urls that CMSMS generates.
Perhaps you're able to redirect to an url without the numbers but you will loose functionality like chandra says.
