Pretty URL's

For Main CMSMS

CMS Made Simple 0.13 comes with support for Clean Hierarchical URL's. If you put the following in a .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
 
# 301 Redirect all requests that don't contain a dot or trailing slash to
# include a trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L,NE]
 
# Rewrites urls in the form of /parent/child/
# but only rewrites if the requested URL is not a file or directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA,NE]

And change the relevent options in config.php

#Show mod_rewrite URLs in the menu?
$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = true;
 
#Extension to use if you're using mod_rewrite for pretty URLs.
$config['page_extension'] = '.html';

You can have URLs like /parent/child/ instead of /index.php/parent/child/ or /index.php?page=child

For News module

For NEWS-Module I had to create a subfolder /news and add a /news/.htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase / 
# Rewrite for NEWS
# requested URL looks like /news/12/13.html rewrite is 
# index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=12&cntnt01returnid=13
# first number is article, second is returnid; NC = nocase, L=last (rule)
RewriteRule ^([0-9]*).html$ index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)/([0-9]*).html$ index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=$1&
                                                                             cntnt01returnid=$2 [NC,L]

One line for the rule!!

The first rule is for request from "more..."-link, second rule is for RSS-Feed and searchresults by building search (both have no return-id).
