help me with adding .html to my pages using htaccess

i have my links like this


http://www.site.com/file/section/32/ for sections

http://www.site.com/funnyclip/video/437/ for pages

i need to end them with .html for better seo how can i do this using htaccess

also if you see that links can be better than this tell me

 

The more descriptive the link text is the better - ie, dont use numbers if possible

 

It should be quite easy, like instead of

RewriteRule ^([_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/([_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/?$ /process.php?var1=$1&var2=$2

Code (markup):

you should write in the .htaccess file

RewriteRule ^([_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/([_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)[COLOR="Red"][B]\.html[/B][/COLOR]/?$ /process.php?var1=$1&var2=$2

Code (markup):

Err.. I think.

http://www.site.com/file/section/32/

RewriteRule ^tell/(.*)/(.*)\.html/$ /tell.php?$1=$2

for example is for if the end of the URL is /

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^file/([^.]+)/([^.]+)/([^.]+)/([^.]+)\.html$ file.php?$1=$2&$3=$4
RewriteRule ^tell/([^.]+)/([^.]+)\.html$ tell.php?$1=$2
RewriteRule ^download/([^.]+)/([^.]+)\.html$ download.php?$1=$2
RewriteRule ^code/([^.]+)/([^.]+)\.html$ code.php?$1=$2
RewriteRule ^file/([^.]+)/([^.]+)\.html$ file.php?$1=$2
RewriteRule ^funnyclip/([^.]+)/([^.]+)\.html$ showfile.php?$1=$2
RewriteRule ^vote/([^.]+)/([^.]+)\.html$ vote.php?$1=$2

You actually don't need as many ([^.]+) and $1. You only need it for the changing part of the URL, for example

RewriteRule ^file/section/([^.]+)\.html$ file.php?section=$1

for

http-//www.site.com/file/section/32/ for sections

instead of

RewriteRule ^file/([^.]+)/([^.]+)\.html$ file.php?$1=$2

 

seems like you know the way to do this but i dont know why it dosent works for me till now also i need to replace numbers with the page title it will be better i hope.

 

html$

instead of

html/$

is what was wrong with the last code.

If the numbers are required in the original URL, they'll be required in the new URLs. But you can add the page title to it if you can edit the script which would probably include search and replace to keep spaces and special characters out of the URL.

 

tnx Nintendo can u please retype the full new htaccess code i afraid to do it wrong

 

It depends on how you have the URLs look when you get the titles added to the URL.

Post a URL example for each script and I can get rid of half of the the $1 and ([^.]+) stuff.

 

take this

http://demo.mediasitescript.com/

http://demo.mediasitescript.com/media/1/Fireworks-On-Chest.html

for sections

http://demo.mediasitescript.com/category/Animations/1.html

 

Post URL examples of each script.

 

i need like this script i dont have more examples now

 

still waiting

 

What are you trying to do that's different from

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=1730238&postcount=8

The numbers have to stay in the URL. And if you posted URL examples of each of the scripts,

file.php
tell.php
download.php
code.php
file.php
showfile.php
vote.php

I could knock out half of the ([^.]+) and $1 stuff.

 

Do u mean u need these files or to see them in action ? if u can check my site yallaclip.com i feel i miss something so i cant understand what u mean clearly.

 

URL examples for each script. For example

download.php?something=whatever

if you want half the ([^.]+) and $1 taken out. If you want the page title in the URL, you'll have to know how to edit the script to have them with out special characters and spaces. Otherwise, http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=1730238&postcount=8 IS the code.

 

i need the title on the page url so u can tell me the required changes i will ask my coder to make with script . Nintendo feel free to tell me the best link that has the best performance for SEO i dont need something specific i need the best results i can get to the links.
