I would purchase just about 10 more licenses for multiple OScommerce sites if this static page addition could get solved (multi language of course). Until that time I have partially SEO sites and partially just plain OScommerce. Any more tips would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried following code?

Code: Select all

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

yes, in this format:

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]

didn't work..

So you didn't. Please copy and paste the code from my previous message.

Ok, now I put:

Code: Select all

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

at the bottom of .htaccess. (and change back to read only)

After that the page mydomain.com/all_products.php stays like that plus it says "page cannot be displayed" and it does not redirect to any mydomain.com/language/all-products :roll:

Maybe if you rename one file in your demo, http://www.magic-seo-url.com/demo/oscommerce/privacy2.php you will be able to see a solution ? (only the demo is not multi language unfortunately)

These rules are tougher than I thought :shock:

Then try:

Code: Select all

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

Are you really sure your changes stay there? Where exactly are you placing the code?

I placed the code at the bottom of .htaccess all times. After the changes I make the file read only again. I know it has changed because after each failed attempt I go back to the file (first make it writeable to edit again) and undo the trial code because it makes that particular page not work.

I don't see any further problems with code. Please PM your FTP credentials. I will look what is going wrong.
