I have such a URL format:

site.com/index.php/news/sport/1234

news - group
sport - template :-(
1234 - id

!!! I have a page with the news category, it is logical:

site.com/index.php/news/sport

is it possible? mod_rewrite?

thx, and sorry for my bad english ;-(

Are you saying you would rather not have ‘sport’ as a template, rather a category?

If so set the news/index template to accept url’s formed like this site.com/index.php/news/c/sport/1234 thats with ‘c’ as your category url identifier then you could set up your htaccess to do something like:


RewriteRule    ^/index.php/news/(.*)$    /index.php/news/c/$1

yes, sport is a category, but i would like to have such a format, without additional /any/:
site.com/index.php/news/sport/1234 - news
site.com/index.php/news/sport - list of news categories

In your Sport template group make your index template the page with the News categories listed. This list will then be at site.com/index.php/news/sport

And then build a second template for the individual news stories - most people use the comments template - each news story will be at site.com/index.php/news/sport/comments/1234
