Hi,
For my new expression engine project I need to use a particular SEO structure:
http://website.com/en/news/first-news
News is the name of my channel and first-news the name of the entry.
I want to use ‘en’ only to set a php session variable.
Now, if I type this url my EE only shows me the homepage.

I usually use this .htaccess file to remove index.php from the path

RewriteEngine On

# Removes index.php
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

Someone know a rule to add to the existing rewrite mode to solve my situation?

Thanks,
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,

Thanks for posting and welcome to the ExpressionEngine forums!

I don’t think the answer is going to be in .htaccess.

You can get ExpressionEngine to work around the default routing with some conditionals, but that can get really complex. There are some add-ons that can help you keep your sanity:
Structure
Transcribe
Freebie
Router

I’d love to hear some details about what you need to do! I’m sure there are other options I’m not considering.

Cheers,
