LG .htaccess Generator

Yay, sorry of the mix up

When I test this locally, it works great, using the htaccess just as its included in the extension.

However, when I deploy to my development server I have a couple issues. If I leave in the “Remove IE image toolbar” lines, I immediately get a server error. Commenting them out fixes it.

Also, my system directory isn’t available. mysite.com/systemfolder just goes to the homepage. Again, testing the same thing locally (MAMP) works fine.

I tried a variety of changes but could not get the include method to work on the server. As soon as I switched to the exclude method as I was doing before, my system dir is available again.

Any ideas?

I just uploaded a tweak to the extension. The extension will only regenerate the .htaccess if the entry is a page or the template group has been modified which means you won’t see the success notification all the time.

Cheers

Is your system folder one of the include groups or are you using a masked cp?

Totally brilliant Leevi – again 😉

I was wondering… What about the possibility of generating a list of “Redirect permanent” addresses. I’ve bumped into this need in the following case scenario.

After launch of an ee-site, we realise that for one reason or another we should have named our template groups, url category marker or some categories differently. In the meantime, the pages under those template group names, url category marker or categories have already been indexed or linked by other sites. We don’t want to loose visitor traffic, so we write a list of redirects.

So, how about figuring an optional and dynamic way for .htaccess Generator to add Redirect rules in the above situation?

Hey Seb,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I don’t think this is a core need for the EE community so I won’t be including it. Incorrect indexed urls can be a problem but a simple rule should cover them pretty easily.

I am working on a site now that was a combination of 2x wordpress sites and punbb. Using a couple of rules I have been able to redirect all of the pages.

Cheers

Just a quick note to say I have updated 1.0.0 with a new build… Go grab it 😊

Hi Leevi,

I get some strange encoding error in the htaccess file once it’s updated. It leaves the stuff that was in there to start with and then put this in place of the code it’s meant to add.

Sample…

Hey Turkish,



Is that the actual output? If not can you paste it in? Also where you saving a page, template or extension settings when the error occurred?

Cheers

that is too frickin sweet! A whole bunch of apples… What would make this better is if it was on a windows platform…

I was going to say the same thing but didn’t want to sound like a fanboy…

Typed on my 24” iMac while preparing my conference presentation on my G4 powerbook. Trying to decide weter I will control the presentation with my 1st gen jailbroken iphone or my 2nd gen 3g…

Thats OK… it doesnt hurt my feelings to be called that… LOL.

For those of you who are interested I have gone into a bit more detail about the default LG .htaccess Generator settings over at my post titled: “LG .htaccess Generator - Removing index.php from your ExpressionEngine site” !

Hi Leevi,

the corrupt data was just a one off. Seems fine now.

However on another site on a different host the index page loads without CSS. All other pages load fine but not the index page. Nother rules in the HTACESS file other than what this thing puts in.
