Transparent RewriteRule

[Neoziox]

Hi!

I know it's works without YAMS. So I wonder why it's doesn't work for this website.

Here, the .htaccess file config:

#Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Fix Apache internal dummy connections from breaking [(site_url)] cache
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*internal\ dummy\ connection.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

# Exclude /assets and /manager directories and images from rewrite rules
RewriteRule ^(manager|assets|js|css|images|img)/.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico)$ - [L]

# Personal request
RewriteRule ^fr/actualites/(.*)$ fr/actualites?filter=$1 [L,N]

# Redirect from mydomain.com/rootname to mydomain.com/rootname/
RewriteRule ^en$ en/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^fr$ fr/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^de$ de/ [R=301,L]

# The Friendly URLs part
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^en/(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^fr/(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^de/(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

In a "normal" case (without YAMS), when I go to this page: /fr/actualites/first-article.html The redirection is transparent and I stay on this page, this exactly the same URL and I have an access to the $_GET['filter'] (in my actualites Resource) -> $_GET['filter'] = 'first-article.html'

But, here, I'm redirected to: /fr/actualites?filter=first-article.html

Am I clear? So, how to change this?

Help!

I don´t understand and I am no htaccess-professional. But I can try to help. You say you are redirected to

/fr/actualites?filter=first-article.html

so your rule

RewriteRule ^fr/actualites/(.*)$ fr/actualites?filter=$1 [L,N]

seems to work as expected?

Maybe try removing N so the end of line is just [L]? I am refering to https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/flags.html#flag_n

[Neoziox]

Indeed. But if you look the normal rule

RewriteRule ^fr/(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

you are not redirect to index.php?q=something

I want the same behavior. If I'm on /fr/actualites/something.html I want to keep this URL.

Am I more clear?

[Deesen]

I am just guessing.. maybe something like

RewriteRule ^fr/actualites/(.*)$ index.php?q=actualites/&filter=$1 [L,QSA]

[Neoziox]

Yes. I'm already try this and guess what. I'm redirect to: /fr/actualites?filter=something.html

[Deesen]

Then I do not understand your needs, you need to give more clear details. Maybe a link to your website..

[Neoziox]

In the webpage /fr/actualites/ I have several links which looks like /fr/actualites/something.html But in Evo Manager, I have only one ressource: /fr/actualites/ in which I have a snippet that retrieves the information in the URL. Is this more clear? PS I don't have a link to the website yet. Sorry.

[Neoziox]

@Deesen If not, in your opinion, where can I post my question or who can I contact who could help me (someone you may know maybe)?

[Deesen]

Maybe on Slack Evo-Channel or on stackoverflow.com?

But maybe it would be easier to change your snippet to use $_POST instead of $_GET. You could send a form/ post-data to /fr/actualites/. This way you can be sure you stay on the same resource without getting redirected, while having the filter-data available in $_POST. Did I understand you correct? Does that make sense?

[Neoziox]

I have a personal database (in a TV with MultiTV). Each entry of this database can be a specific page in the same way that each resource of Evo is a page. So, in the same way that each resource have an alias as access to its page, I want every entry in the database to have its page with its alias. To be able to do that, I use the same method that Evo: $_GET. As I said, I already used this method but without YAMS. In some way, it's different but I don't understand why and where. I'm really sorry I was not clear enough before.

[Deesen]

Ah ok, I got it now ;-). Not sure how to solve it yet but maybe you want to try:

• Check if you use "Seo Strict URLs" in EVO System-Settings (which can cause redirects), if yes maybe try turning it off
• In YAMS-module -> Tab "Configuration" -> "URL Redirection Settings" -> "MODx/EVO URLs" you can try to enter the ID of resource "actualites" to it, which will prevent YAMS to redirect in any way (also useful if you want to stay on your startpage like "http://example.com", instead of generally being redirected to "example.com/fr/start.html". If YAMS is causing your issue, maybe this helps. More info here http://www.evolution-docs.com/extras/yams/yams-configuration

Damned! It doesn't work! I believed it.
