How to create friendly url for my own addon ?

[Vossi]

ReWriteRule ^category/.* myaddon.php?do=showentry [QSA]

doesnt work

[Lynne]

Did you also create the class to extend vB_Friendly_Url_Paged?

[Vossi]

Yes, sure. My problem is, that I cant get rid of ?var=int right after myaddon.php as the content of the var I set in $idkey within the class only allows integer. I can set $idvar to 'do' for example but $idkey doesnt allow strings.

By changing $script in the class and by adding a ?do=routine i can place the holders, but then class_friendly_url.php puts a ?= right after it and it looks like this: myaddon.php?do=routine?=&id=x

Post up your code for the class and perhaps we can see what is wrong. (And I assume you are using the htaccess rewrite rule from above?)

I'm about to include friendly url to my glossary addon so i wrote the following class (filename: class_friendly_url_vbglossar.php):
class vB_Friendly_Url_Glossary_Category extends vB_Friendly_Url_Paged

PHP Code:

class vB_Friendly_Url_Glossary_Category extends vB_Friendly_Url_Paged
{
 protected $idvar = 'catid';
 protected $idkey = 'id';
 protected $ignorelist = array('catid', 'id');
 protected $script = 'vbglossar.php';
 protected $rewrite_segment = 'glossary_category';
} 


and included it with

PHP Code:

<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">
   <title>vBulletin-Glossar: Include additional class for friendly url</title>
   <hookname>friendlyurl_resolve_class</hookname>
   <phpcode><![CDATA[include_once('./includes/class_friendly_url_vbglossar.php');]]></phpcode>
  </plugin> 


My re-write rules in .htaccess look like this:

PHP Code:

# Glossary
RewriteRule ^glossary/.* vbglossar.php [QSA] 


In the main script called 'vbglossar.php' i define

PHP Code:

define('FRIENDLY_URL_LINK', 'glossary_category'); 


Usually my addon calls the category with the following link (for example: the id of the category is 1, the name is 'automobile'):

PHP Code:

vbglossar.php?do=showcat&catid=1 


and I want to convert the link to

PHP Code:

vbglossar.php/glossary_category/1-automobile 


So I'm using this code in my template:

PHP Code:

<a href="{vb:link glossary_category, {vb:raw row}, {vb:raw pageinfo}, 'catid', 'title'}">{vb:raw row.title}</a> 


$pageinfo['catid'] is set to 1, $row['do'] = 'showcat'. So the output by now is:

PHP Code:

vbglossar.php?do=&catid=1 


How and where do I include 'showcat' as $idkey only works with integer?
