I'm new to Drupal and created a basic page in which the clean url is
/todo
If I want the todo's for a certain month I can do
/todo?month=januaray
However what I would like to do is provide a clean url which looks like
/todo/januaray
I tried modifying my .htaccess file like explained here
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/todo/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^.*$ /todo?month=%1 [L]
But that didn't seem to work. Is there any easy way to achieve this?
This will work:
RewriteRule ^todo/(.*)$ todo?month=$1 [L,QSA]
No need for the rewrite condition.
That will internally forward, e.g. http://example.com/todo/january to http://example.com/todo?month=january.
Make sure you add that code before Drupal's main index.php RewriteRule
RewriteCond's above the RewriteRule for index.php. It is telling me The requested page "/todo/january" could not be found. I am using the path module too and the system name for the todo basic page is node/3. Could that effect it at all?
.htaccess. I can think of a quick hack you could do in a custom module if that's any good to you?
I would consider using Pathauto as it is way more flexible and easier to use.
The Pathauto module automatically generates URL/path aliases for various kinds of content (nodes, taxonomy terms, users) without requiring the user to manually specify the path alias. This allows you to have URL aliases like /category/my-node-title instead of /node/123. The aliases are based upon a "pattern" system that uses tokens which the administrator can change.
