Page Numbers with Mod_Rewrite

[Ian Cunningham]

I have created a mod_rewrite hack for my site, and I can get the main thread to appear in the form thread-xxx.php (where xxx is the threadid). Example : http://www.pcreview.co.uk/thread-3930.php

I have a problem in the temlates when I want to call each new page thread-xxx-y.php (where y is the page number). I have coded this fine in Mod_Rewrite, but I can't find out how to mod this in the VB templates.

In the pagenav_pagelink template, there is the following code:

[b]<a href="$address&pagenumber=$curpage">$curpage</a>[b]

I want this changed to this format:

[b]<a href="thread-$thread[threadid]-$curpage">$curpage</a>[b]

I have tried using this code, but $thread[threadid] is not recognised. Can anyone tell me how to allow this to be called, or any other ideas? Once I have the mod_rewrite hack complete, I'll release it onto the forums.
