Thread

Far a while now I have been using the following:

RewriteCond $0 !^(index\.php/)?courses/detail [NC]
RewriteRule ^(?:index\.php/)?courses/(.+)$ /index.php/courses/detail/$1 [NC,L]

in conjunction with index.php removal to ensure the following:

http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php/courses/details/biology101

works as:

http://www.mywebsite.com/courses/biology101

and it has always worked.  However, installing 2.5.2 I seem to be having difficulty.  The index.php removal is working but the template group removal seems to be having no effect.  I have scrutinised to see if I am missing something obvious but am left wondering if something has changed in the core that would prevent this working now?

Hey Mantishead,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

Unfortunately we do not support any other configuration in the .htaccess file aside from the one we list on the wiki.

I would still like to help as much as I can. What do you think about moving this thread to the Community Help Forum to see if there is any direction to be had from the community?

Please let me know.

You might also drop this question a little differently in the Development and Programming forum.

Cheers,

Sounds good.  Pretty sure something must have changed in the core since 2.2 as the same approach works on other sites.

Hey Mantishead,

I would not be surprised.

Moving you on over. If you need anything else, please just let me know!

Cheers,

Looks like this is the answer…

Nope.  Looks like it but it hasn’t fixed it…
