zem_rewrite

Clean, configurable URLs for Textpattern.

Contents

In this series

When used in conjunction with an appropriate Rewrite rule, zem_rewrite will produce and parse clean, configurable URLs. It eliminates the need for uploading section placeholder files and editing .htaccess when sections are created. By reconfiguring the URL strings, the plugin will generate and accept flexible URL schemes for article, section and category links, e.g.:

  • /section/category/25/my-article-title
  • /section/2004/09/28/25/my-article-title
  • /section/2004/09/28/category/25/my-article-title
  • /section/25/

Download latest version: zem_rewrite-0.6.txt

I must say this is very helpful, much easier than all the Uploading files needed in normal URL rewrites

Brilliant… I finally got true clean URL’s working without editing any TXP native files.

Thank you so much for your effort.

Hello,

I tried to download the plugin, but the content of the file looks like this:

$plugin='YTo4OntzOjc6InZlcnNpb24iO3M6MzoiMC41IjtzO (...)

Yes!!!!

Great updates on version 0.5!!! I really appreciate the effort you put into this plugin. My site functions 98% the way I want because of this plugin.

The only suggestion that I could offer is to make {section}/{url_title} work. Maybe this is a limitation in TXP.

Is it possible to use two categories in the URL? I’ve played with it a bit and can’t quite figure it out. Or maybe it’s a limitation? Maybe for the next release. :)

It seems your wonderful plugin has saved me from a lot of hassle. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Any documented case of getting clean urls to work with IIS?

:( I can’t get to my .htaccess file, so I can’t use this plugin?!
