History of FeaturePrettyUrlsExtended

This feature is an extension of ((PrettyUrls)). It adds an extra tag into the URLs to make them unambigious. Some links generated by ((PrettyUrls)) may not function as expected. For example, a link to the user page for the user 'admin' will not display correctly when ((PrettyUrls)) is enabled.

For User and Wiki links, this feature adds a '/view' tag into the generated URLs.

Normal URL:
{CODE source='XML'}
http://www.bitweaver.org/wiki/index.php?page=LDAPCompatibility
{/CODE}

When ((PrettyUrls)) is enabled:
{CODE source='XML'}
http://www.bitweaver.org/wiki/LDAPCompatibility
{/CODE}

When FeaturePrettyUrlsExtended is enabled:
{CODE source='XML'}
http://www.bitweaver.org/wiki/view/LDAPCompatibility
{/CODE}

Enabling this feature will require manually editing the default .htaccess files.

The exact changes will depend on your web server configuration.

Example for wiki/.htaccess
{CODE source='Apache'}
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /wiki/
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}/index.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [L]
RewriteRule view/(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
{/CODE}

Or, you can incorporate all the necessary rewrites into your main Apache configuration:
{CODE source='Apache'}
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
#RewriteLog /var/log/httpd/rewrite.log
#RewriteLogLevel 2

# If the URL points to a file that exists, don't rewrite.
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php -f
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
