Need a Mod Rewrite

[combs84]

I need to turn a link like this: NFL Football Tickets - Find NFL Football Tickets

Into something like this: http://www.yaytickets.com/concert-tickets/Keith-Urban-Tickets.php

I have thousands and thousands of concert listings already setup to go to those new links here: YAY TICKETS and so on from A-Z.

Would also be nice to change the rest of the links in the site that show up as well.

I'm not sure how a mod re-write is done and what exactly you'd have to change, and how much it would cost, but let me know!

mod_rewrite is not the solution to everything. For instance, if your site is already well indexed in search engines, you should not convert everything to pretty URLs. Not only do you need to setup your new pretty URLs but you will also need to setup 301 redirects to preserve the old inlinks.

There is a lot this module can do, but it cannot do everything. Remember, your server will need to consider your rewriterules every time a request is made - that is for every image, every file and every page loaded, every time. It follows then that this may not always be the best solution.

Additionally, mod_rewrite can only rewrite requests - you must still update your scripts and pages to output the URL in your new rewritten format.

If you still want to go ahed, hit me a PM!
