STILL WAITING FOR ANY RESPONSE FOR THE ISSUE BELOW

**** I need a quick help *****

It didn’t work out that way. Even though the rewrite is mentioned when I used Rewrites Viewer Plugin by Dagon Design where wordpress listed the rewrite query as:

[videos/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)] => wp-content/themes/Videographer/yshortdown.php?yid=$matches[1]&yfn=$matches[2]&qua=$matches[3]

But it does not get rewritten. Seems another solution is needed. Thanks for help!

whoops …

It seems there are two folders in the zip file:

/bwb-rewriter/bwb-rewriter/bwb-rewriter.php

I moved the file up:

/bwb-rewriter/bwb-rewriter.php

and it installs just fine.

(I used the Add New function in the Plugins admin page, and selected Upload, used Browse to find the .zip file, then installed it. You might want to remove one of the folders.)

Hi, I’ve been searching around for a while for something that lets me pass in some parameters to page, and this is the only thing I’ve found! It looks great!

However, I’m running WP V2.9 and when I try to activate the plugin, I get an error saying headers are missing.

Any solution?

Thanks

hi,

i’m not able to use the plugin. i need the following url
http://mysite.com/?page_id=29&c_id=1

to be changed to
http://mysite.com/pagename/1

I used the above set up, but my function bwb_add_rewrite_rules() is not calling. When i echo variable inside it it doesn’t get displayed.

Is my installation has some problem?

I’m not using Permalinks also.

When i use Permalinks, i’m able to get the url as

http://mysite.com/pagename/?c_id=1 – which doesn’t satisfy me.

Hey, nice writeup, and great support in the comments. I have a very similar situation to what you put forth here, with the exception that as you go further down the url, the parameters become optional. I handled this by writing three rules, each one deals with the shorter url. Like so:

$new_rules = array(
‘our-network/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)’ => ‘index.php?page_id=7®ion=’.
$wp_rewrite->preg_index(1).’&subregion=’.
$wp_rewrite->preg_index(2).’&city=’.
$wp_rewrite->preg_index(3),
‘our-network/(.*)/(.*)’ => ‘index.php?page_id=7®ion=’.
$wp_rewrite->preg_index(1).’&subregion=’.
$wp_rewrite->preg_index(2),
‘our-network/(.*)’ => ‘index.php?page_id=7®ion=’.
$wp_rewrite->preg_index(1)

);

There’s probably a more elegant way to do this with the regex, but it worked for me. The kicker is that if you go the other way, it doesn’t work at all, so order of rule addition is definitely in play.

Thanks for the tip!
