Change /index.php?template=somepage in /somepage.html ??

[wflorian]

Is it possible to change the URL of additional pages I created. The URL right now is www.XXXX.com/index.php?template=somepage
Can I change that URL design to something more seo friendly? i already installed url mod, so thate categorie are shown like /catXXX.htm

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

just try call your additional page like this www.your_domain.com/somepage.html

[V@no]

add in your .htaccess:

Code: [Select]

RewriteRule ^somepage.html$  index.php?template=somepage [NC,L]


[om6acw]

add in your .htaccess:

Code: [Select]

RewriteRule ^somepage.html$  index.php?template=somepage [NC,L]


I think if he has installed mod SEO friendly url he should have line like this

Code: [Select]

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\.html$ index.php?template=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}already in his .htaccess file but maybe I'm wrong.

Actually both work great. I went with:

Code: [Select]

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\.html$ index.php?template=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
Now I am trying to redirect the old pages to the new url, the following code doesn't seem to work:

Code: [Select]

Redirect permanent /index.php?template=somepage http://www.XXXX.com/somepage.htm
Do you know why?
