This is a working (but also known) page in OScommerce that works perfectly by this rule in .htaccess:

Code: Select all

#contact_us.php - contact us
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/contact-us$ contact_us.php?language=$1 [L,QSA]

--> mydomain.com/nl/contact-us -> perfect!

I've added the same rule for a custom page:

Code: Select all

#all_products.php - all products
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/all-products$ all_products.php?language=$1 [L,QSA]

The page works, but it does not redirect.

--> mydomain.com/all_products.php

Does not redirect to: mydomain.com/nl/all-products (which does work after the added line in .htaccess)

Also, it does not change the links, whereas the "links" from anywhere on the site for contact_us.php show up as wanted, like: mydomain.com/de/contact-us or mydomain.com/uk/contact-us depending on which language you're looking at the site. Cool feature by the way


What am I missing to get this functionality for non-standard OScommerce pages?

The page works, but it does not redirect.

--> mydomain.com/all_products.php

Does not redirect to: mydomain.com/nl/all-products (which does work after the added line in .htaccess)

To redirect such pages, you will need to also add a redirect rule to .htaccess file.

How would such a rule look like? As the site is muti language it needs to be variable.

[shotputty]

I thought of this (but it doesn't work)

Code: Select all

redirect 301 /all_products.php?language=$1 ^([a-z]{2})/all-products$ [L,QSA]

It's like abracadabra to me

[~J~]

It has to be something like:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^language=([a-z]{2})$
RewriteRule ^all_products.php$ ^%1/all-products$ [L,R=301]

[shotputty]

OK I have these lines of code in .htaccess now, in this order:

Code: Select all

#all_products.php - all products
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/all-products$ all_products.php?language=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^language=([a-z]{2})$
RewriteRule ^all_products.php$ ^%1/all-products$ [L,R=301]

When I access the page it still says mydomain.com/all_products.php and when I change language to german for instance on that page it gives me a 404 not found.
In the address bar it now says: mydomain.com/%5ede/all-products$?language=de

Do I need to write the code in this order or is it something else?

[~J~]

It wasn't correct.

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^language=([a-z]{2})$
RewriteRule ^all_products.php$ %1/all-products? [L,R=301]

[shotputty]

I can't get it to work in all different orders..

I tried:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^language=([a-z]{2})$
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/all-products$ all_products.php?language=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^all_products.php$ %1/all-products? [L,R=301]

and

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/all-products$ all_products.php?language=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^language=([a-z]{2})$
RewriteRule ^all_products.php$ %1/all-products? [L,R=301]

and

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^language=([a-z]{2})$
RewriteRule ^all_products.php$ %1/all-products? [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/all-products$ all_products.php?language=$1 [L,QSA]

and

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^language=([a-z]{2})$
RewriteRule ^all_products.php$ %1/all-products? [L,R=301]

This last one gives me correct links to mydomain/language/all-products when a language is selected (but no redirect when being on the page initially) but then they don't work
By the way, I write the rules on the bottom of .htaccess, should that matter?

ps: I have 12 pages like this one.

[shotputty]

I these 2 rules can be merged into 1 rule I think it should work (with the RewriteCond above it ofcourse):

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^all_products.php$ %1/all-products? [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/all-products$ all_products.php?language=$1 [L,QSA]

Is that possible or is it no problem to have 2 rules for the same file?

[shotputty]

Is this too difficult? What are the options for all the OScommerce users who have a non standard static php page added in their shop?

Can't there be a uniform solution, maybe add pagenames in the .ini file in the future?

Or can these pages be added in the magic-seo-rul.php file on request?
