Mod_Rewrite DONE. Anyone Interested?
 

Hello,
I've just completed Mod_Rewrite-ing vbArticles for GreenHybrid. I'm not sure if anyone had released a hack like this, but is anyone interested in using it? You can see it in action at http://www.greenhybrid.com/learn/

My actual forums are at /discuss/, so the code actually transports everything to a new directory (if you want). The following URLs are generated and work:

Nice hack and nice site you have!
Can you post it here please..!

I don't know if I have the time to make a perfect tutorial for installation, but in a few steps I can basically convey how it can be done. I'll see about doing that soon.

Interesting!! Will like to see this!

Personally, I don't really need a tutorial...

Alright. First, I'm going to change mine a little bit so it takes out more characters than just "/". Then, I'll add HTML extensions at the end of the URLs. My instructions will include a lot of find/replace and common sense, so if you only have one or neither at all, better find a friend :D

Oh, just think I'll add that there are 40 rewrite commands in the htaccess file. Talk about fun stuff...

Will your modification ( good job btw greenhybrid :) ) require many file changes to articles.php ?
Future upgrades may be a concern if so, so you might want to document everything properly :)

Yes, it edits articles.php, but literally you just have to copy a little snippet and paste it 5 or so times in the document. No biggie.

@greenhybrid
like your site, nice idea :)

Sorry it's taking so long, for those of you interested. There are some changes I'd like to make, and I likely won't have the time until next week.

Awesome! Just what I'm looking for! :)

When will you have time to complete this?

A beta, "as-is" code would also be welcome.

Well, Spring Break is almost over and it doesn't look like I'm going to have time to make a tutorial :(

I'll see what I can do, but don't count on it.

To do with mod rewrite but in a different way. I would like to be able for users to select a "URL name" and when it is typed in after the domain name it would use MOD Rewrite to re-direct to that users profile. Anyone know anyway of doing this??

How is this project going? Very interested in something asap. Could you be paid to do this quicker?

Thanks

I actually hadn't been making a release hack for this... way too busy. If you'd like to contact me on an individual level, perhaps we can work something out.

nice site green, when will be hack released

Sorry, this isn't something I'll be able to release. Just no time. sorry!

Anyone else know how to accomplish something like this, or what files need to be edited?
