[Mod] Search Engine Friendly URLs aka Short URLs

[MrAndrew]

Very nice. Now my link of details page seen more beauty and comfort for my users! Thanks you very much V@no. In future i want to apply a "/" to the links. I can do it. But then the photo will not be visible. Because it will apply to the wrong address. How to fix it I do not know

[V@no]

can't answer that without knowing what exactly changes you do.

hi, i searched about the way to add for thumbnail in html width= and height= this is missing from my html code. Somebody know where i must looking for?

[jeyjoo]

I am running version Version: 1.7.6
my gallery is http://www.jeyjoo.com/gallery/index.php

I have tried different mods on this thread, and each time broke my gallery and had to restore original settings.
I am trying to  give each URL as a simple http://mygallery.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=239, ie. remove all the url endings such as &mode=search.

Is there a way to do this?
Much appreciated

[V@no]

Are you trying cripple functionality of your gallery? these "mode=" endings are not for decoration, you know...

[jeyjoo]

Seriously is there any way I can provide static URLS.
I am on 1.7.6, and cannot get this to work.

Ideally am looking to have a url of the sort: http://www.jeyjoo.com/gallery/{image_id}_{image_name}

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

to address how to make html pages to look was in this form

www.sitename/search.php?q=keywords

Ok, I have been using this mod for quite a few years now and I have had no issues untill today.

Somehow google had crawled pages with search extension i.e

Normal image url = http://www.domain.com/img123.htm
Issue URL = http://www.domain.com/img123.search.htm

This has resulted in 100s of duplicate url in google webmaster sitemaps.

http://www.domain.com/img123.search.htm  for odd reasons returns next and previous images as http://www.domain.com/img122.search.htm  and next images as http://www.domain.com/img124.search.htm

How do I get rid of this now?

I already have canonical tag working on each page. However that is not the solution to the problem, I need to get rid of (*.search.htm) Infact anything.htm works and loads the page. i.e

http://www.domain.com/img123.(anythinghere).htm  <--- this should not happen.

Hello.

How can I change this:
for image --->http://www.your-site.com/img-imagename-andnumber.htm
category --->http://www.your-site.com/cat-categoryname-andnumber.htm

To this?
for image --->http://www.your-site.com/imagename.htm
category --->http://www.your-site.com/categoryname.htm


Here's "my" MOD:

Code: [Select]

 
=================================================
1. at the end of .htaccess, add following code :
=================================================
#Mod_bmollet : category name in URL
RewriteRule ^cat-(.*)-([0-9]+).htm categories.php?cat_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
#Mod_bmollet : Image name in URL
RewriteRule ^img-(.*)-([0-9]+).htm details.php?image_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

#Mod_bmollet : This is to make search function work  ( redirect links from search results )
RewriteRule ^img([0-9]+).search.htm details.php?image_id=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}

=======================================================================

=========================================
2. add this code to include/sessions.php
=========================================
//Mod_bmollet
/**
 * Get the category url
 * @param int $cat_id The id of the category
 * @param string $cat_url The current status of the URL
 */
function get_category_url($cat_id,$cat_url = '')
{
global $site_db;
$sql = "SELECT cat_name,cat_parent_id FROM ".CATEGORIES_TABLE." WHERE cat_id = '".$cat_id."'";
$result = $site_db->query($sql);
$row = $site_db->fetch_array($result);
$row['cat_name'] = strtr($row['cat_name'], "éèêàëâúóíáABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ","eeeaeauoiaabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz");
$cat_url  = '-'.str_replace('+','-',urlencode($row['cat_name'])).'-'.$cat_id.$cat_url;
// if you want full path of category in url, put next line in comment
return $cat_url;
if( $row['cat_parent_id'] != 0)
{
return get_category_url($row['cat_parent_id'],$cat_url);
}
else
{
return $cat_url;
}
}
//Mod_bmollet
/**
 * Get the image url
 * @param int $image_id The id of the image
 */
function get_image_url($image_id)
{
global $site_db;
$sql = "SELECT cat_id,image_name FROM ".IMAGES_TABLE." WHERE image_id = '".$image_id."'";
$result = $site_db->query($sql);
$row = $site_db->fetch_array($result);
$row['image_name'] = strtr($row['image_name'], "éèêàëâúóíáABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ","eeeaeauoiaabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz");
// if you want comlpete path to image in url, remove comment from following line
//return get_category_url($row['cat_id']).'-'.str_replace('+','-',urlencode($row['image_name'])).'-'.$image_id;
return '-'.str_replace('+','-',urlencode($row['image_name'])).'-'.$image_id;
}
========================================================================

========================================================================
3. In include/sessions.php replace function url(...) by following code.
========================================================================
/* ORIGINAL CODE
  function url($url, $amp = "&") {
    global $l;
    $dummy_array = explode("#", $url);
    $url = $dummy_array[0];

    if ($this->mode == "get" && !preg_match("/".SESSION_NAME."=/i", $url)) {
      $url .= preg_match("/\?/", $url) ? "$amp" : "?";

    }

    if (!empty($l)) {

4. In include/sessions.php following functions are useful for URL's like
   yoursite.com/maincategory/subcategory/imagename.htm
   
   This is not necessairy if you want url's (like we used on our sites) like this :
   for image --->http://www.your-site.com/img-imagename-andnumber.htm
   category --->http://www.your-site.com/cat-categoryname-andnumber.htm
========================================================================
//Mod_bmollet
/**
 * Get the category id
 * @param array $path An array with the path of the category
 * @param int $parent_id The parent id of the first item in the $path
 */
function get_category_id($path,$parent_id = 0)
{
$cat_name = array_shift($path);
global $site_db;
$sql = "SELECT cat_id FROM ".CATEGORIES_TABLE." WHERE cat_parent_id = $parent_id AND cat_name = '".mysql_real_escape_string($cat_name)."'";
$result = $site_db->query($sql);
$row = $site_db->fetch_array($result);
if( count($path) != 0)
{
return get_category_id($path,$row['cat_id']);
}
else
{
return $row['cat_id'];
}
}
//Mod_bmollet
/**
 * Get the image id
 * @param array $path An array with the path of the image
 */
function get_image_id($path)
{
global $site_db;
$image_name = array_pop($path);
$cat_id = get_category_id($path);
$sql = "SELECT image_id FROM ".IMAGES_TABLE." WHERE image_name = '".mysql_real_escape_string($image_name)."' AND cat_id = $cat_id";
$result = $site_db->query($sql);
$row = $site_db->fetch_array($result);
return $row['image_id'];
}
