Creating a friendly URL for a custom .tpl page ?

[Ray UK]

Hi,

 

I have created a custom "Store Details" page using "Preferences/Store Contacts" and storedetails.tpl, controllers etc...

 

The URL I end up with is www.no-match.co.uk/storedetails?storeid=34

The URL I want is www.no-match.co.uk/34

 

How and where would I accomplish this ?

 

I will eventually end up with www.no-match.co.uk/southport but im going 1 step at a time whilst learning.

 

Thanks

I have tried entering

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /storedetails?storeid=$1 [L]​

 

in the .htaccess, but that didn't do it.

 

Is there a place in the B.O that I can set this up ?

 

Cheers

Ok, so now I have managed to get this url

 

www.no-match.co.uk/storedetails?storeid=Southport

 

Im just needing help on converting to a friendly URL now.

 

ie: www.no-match.co.uk/Southport

Hi, try this

 

back office-->preferences-->seo & urls

 

click add new

 

click the drop down for page

 

then you will see modules that have registered their pages, then possible you can look at those module to see how they work to have friendly

Hi Patron,

 

I already have an entry there which just puts "storedetails" after our domain.

the  "?storeid=Southport" is then added.

 

I wish to remove all of the storedetails?storeid=Southport and replace with just Southport

 

The finished url should be www.no-match.co.uk/Southport

 

Looking in the SEO URLs section I cant see any entry that adds any variables to the url.

 

Cheers

Hi Enrique,

 

I created a storedetails.tpl and controller override. Not sure how to put it together as a module.

 

Ill take a look at other controllers and see if I can work it out from them.

 

Cheers

Ok I cant suss this out.

 

I have entered the friendly url via the "Preferences/SEO & URLs" section in the BO

 

That gives me the no-match.co.uk/storedetails

 

The variables afterwards I cannot tidy up.

 

I tried

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /storedetails?storeid=$1 [L]​

 

in the .htaccess

 

I thought that should return www.no-match.co.uk/southport.html

 

But it doesnt.. And besidesI would prefer without the suffix

 

The end result I would like is no-match.co.uk/southport

but currently it is showing like no-match.co.uk/storedetails?storeid=southport

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks
