Using mod rewrite for nicer urls

This method will allow you to access pages through virtual folders. eg. '/index.php?page=contact' could be access through '/page/contact/'.

Requirements

• PHP 5
• Mod_rewrite PHP module must be installed and activated.

How to: Steps

1. Create a file in the root folder of the CMS called '.htaccess' without the quotes.
2. Paste the following into the file named '.htaccess' <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^page/(.+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L] RewriteRule ^page/(.+)?$ index.php?page=$1 [L] </IfModule>
3. Save this file.
4. Complete.

Please Note

• You May want to update your menu links in order to reflect these new access routes. ie. edit a link, set type of external and set external link to '/page/PAGE_NAME/'
