[baris22]

Hello,

I have got a url like

this is the first page of url

category.php?cat=movie

second page is

category.php?cat=movie&page=2&sortby=

if i sort it by date it goes like

category.php?cat=movie&page=2&sortby=date

I could not figure it out how to do the rewrite.

I managed make one for the first page

RewriteRule ^category-(.*)$ category.php?cat=$1 [L,NC]

but i did not know what to do for the other pages.

Thank you for your help.

How are you going to have the urls as showing?

Also just a note you should use a 301 redirect with such rules to ensure no duplicates occur.

If I never sort them by anything it is the url:

category name, page number

category-movie-2
category-movie-3
category-movie-4

if i sort them by
category name, page number, sort by (date, view, time, alfabetic order)

category-movie-2-data
category-movie-2-view

How are you going to have the urls as showing?

Also just a note you should use a 301 redirect with such rules to ensure no duplicates occur.

RewriteRule ^category-(.*)-(.*)$ category.php?cat=$1&sortby=$2 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^category-(.*)-([0-9]+)-(.*)$ category.php?cat=$1&page=$2&sortby=$3 [L,NC]

Those should pretty much do the trick.

RewriteRule ^category-(.*)-(.*)$ category.php?cat=$1&sortby=$2 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^category-(.*)-([0-9]+)-(.*)$ category.php?cat=$1&page=$2&sortby=$3 [L,NC]

Those should pretty much do the trick.

it did not work.

i tried another one which is

RewriteRule ^category-(.*)$ category.php?cat=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^category-(.*)-([0-9]+)$ category.php?cat=$1&page=$2 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^category-(.*)-([0-9]+)-(.*)$ category.php?cat=$1&page=$2&sortby=$3 [L,NC]

but it did not work either.

this is my code

"<a href=\"category-".$cat_name."-".$next_page."-".$sortby."\">Next ".$limit." videos »</a>"

any idea why it is not working?

Ok. sorted.

I just changed the order

RewriteRule ^category-(.*)-([0-9]+)-(.*)$ category.php?cat=$1&page=$2&sortby=$3 [L,NC]

RewriteRule ^category-(.*)-([0-9]+)$ category.php?cat=$1&page=$2 [L,NC]

RewriteRule ^category-(.*)$ category.php?cat=$1 [L,NC]

What about this one ?

 RewriteRule ^category-([a-z]+)-([0-9]+)-([a-z]+)$ category.php?cat=$1&page=$2&sortby=$3 [L,NC]

RewriteRule ^category-([a-z]+)-([0-9]+)$ category.php?cat=$1&page=$2 [L,NC]

RewriteRule ^category-([a-z]+)$ category.php?cat=$1 [L,NC]
