[resolved] need help on specific mod_rewrite request

[eluser]Marc Arbour[/eluser]
Hello to all.

I did manage to remove the index.php from my URLs with mod_rewrite.

Here's my .htaccess file:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

# remove dangling index.php in request uri (hint: google, duplicated content)
RewriteRule ^index.php$ / [L,R]

# redirect requests going to www.domain.com to only domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [L,R,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# I have two additional directories in website structure,
# both of which hold stuff not directly related to kohana (images, raw html templates, css, js...)
# and sometimes I want to enable directory browsing in them.
RewriteCond $1 !^static
RewriteCond $1 !^html
RewriteCond $1 !^index.php [OR]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Now, Here's the situation: I have a controller/function/parameter/parameter that always looks like

Code:

domain.com/banners/view/1/administrateur

#note the www is removed as well as the index.php

That I'd like to see stripped of it's controller/function part like

Code:

domain.com/1/administrateur

Leaving all other modules/functions work without changes. Even leaving other functions in the banners module as they are now.

I know I can remove part of a URI... Did it with index.php. But can this be done for only 1 module AND 1 function as well? Is there anyone knowledgeable enough with mod_rewrite that can point me in the right direction?

Any pointers will help.

Thanks and best regards.

Marc

You don't need .htaccess for that, you need URI routing

If after reading that page you're still not sure, just say, and I'll be more specific

Thanks Dam1an!!!

I did put

Code:

$route['1/:any'] = "banners/view";

in my routes.php... to get a white page, but I understood that I had to tweak my function to better reflect my new URI segments...

I never got that routes things... Never needed it...

But with your pointer: I am now getting it!

How wonderfull and usefull

Thanks a million.

Best regards.
