Hello:

I am using many of LG’s plugins and extensions. I found the LG .htaccess very sweet, but now I have a question:

I have my default template ‘index’ inside the ‘site’ group template. Since my default templates is this ‘site’ group template, I would like the URL be http://www.mysite.com/contact/ instead of http://www.mysite.com/site/contact/

I think I would like generic pages/templates inside the ‘site’ template group without having to create their own template group.

I am not sure how can I fix the .htaccess template that is in the extension LG .htaccess. Your help would be appreciated.

Here is my current .htaccess parsed:
