Archive REWRITE RULE needed [solved]

Hi,
I have setup my permalink structure as
Code: Select all
/%year%-%month%/%postid%-%post-title%
E.g.:
From the error log I see that
many people try to accessSerendipity delivers
'404 Not Found' Status Error, but of course it redirects to the
Blog's home page.
Even though Garvin helped me earlier to add a shortcut URL like /post45/, /post95/,
I could not figure out how to rewrite those URLs properly. At this point I am pretty
sure that the
PHP code will have to be adated, too.
I'd like to rewrite/redirect above URLs that they produce a
'200 OK' Status and
deliver either the detailed or summary version of the monthly archive. The archive
URIs for my Blog setup are:
from
/2007-10/ and
/2007-10/ with everything that does not start with a
numerical postid
Any help is
appreciated.
Yours John

Hi!
How about this mod_rewrite rule:
Code: Select all
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]{4})\-([0-9]{1,2})/ /archives/$1/$2/summary.html [L,QSA]
?
Regards,
Garvin

Unfortunately it does not seem to be that easy. It simply loads the blog homepage without an error message.
index.php doesn't accept the rewritten URL as 'archive'.
I started to look into
index.php. The original request URI get's analized.
Code: Select all
f (preg_match(PAT_ARCHIVES , $uri, $matches) || isset($serendipity['GET']['range']) && is_numeric($serendipity['GET']['range'])) {
$serendipity['view'] = 'archives';
$_args = $serendipity['uriArguments'];
/* Attempt to locate hidden variables within the URI */
foreach ($_args as $k => $v){
if ($v == PATH_ARCHIVES) {
continue;
}
if ($v{0} == 'C') { /* category */
$cat = substr($v, 1);
...
I'll have to look into
include/genpage.inc.php, and
include/functions_permalinks.inc.php for sure. The structure of the archive seems to be hardcoded. to
/$archives_path/$year/$month/summary.html
Yours John

Hi!
HOw about a hard redirect:
Code: Select all
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]{4})\-([0-9]{1,2})/ /archives/$1/$2/summary.html [L,QSA,R=302]
?

Garvin

Hi Garvin!
External Redirection!
That's it. 
That works fine, without having to touch any of the .php files.
I have altered the rule a bit:
- Doing a 301 Permanent Redirect instead
- Use a relativ path to have it work together with RewriteBase
- Catch more 'mistyped URL' and exclude something that could be a valid URL to an
entry (they begin with the numerical %id% after %year%-%month%/ in my case.
- Decided to show the index page instead of the summary (has more keywords)
- I put it after the ordinary Rewrite rule for archives.
Code: Select all
...
RewriteRule ^archives([/A-Za-z0-9]+)\.html index.php?url=/archives$1.html [NC,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})(/|/[^0-9].*)?$ archives/$1/$2.html [L,QSA,R=301]
...
Thanks again.
Yours
