Need help regarding wordpress's wp_rewrite function

Hello,

I know this is a CMS question, but I think this is more related to programming..
I am using wordpress on my domain and I have a page called recent-coupons, which loads like mentioned below:

http://mydomain.com/recent-coupons/

I use query string in this page for city, like:

http://mydomain.com/recent-coupons/?city=new-york

and then I display the list of coupons in new york city. Now, I want to rewrite this page as follows:

http://mydomain.com/recent-coupons/new-york/

I tried the tutorial at http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Rewrite, but didnt work.. Can anyone help ?

 

Hey,

where did you put your code for the rewrite rule? You have the write a plugin which adds your desired rewrite rule to the wp rewrite rules array.

Here is a little example what your code should look like:

<?php
function recent_coupons_rewrite($wp_rewrite) {
	$recent_coupons_rules = array(
        'recent-coupons/(.+)/?$' => 'recent-coupons/?city=' . $wp_rewrite->preg_index(1)
    );
	
    $wp_rewrite->rules = recent_coupons_rules + $wp_rewrite->rules;
}

function add_recent_coupons_query_vars($public_query_vars) {
	
	$public_query_vars[] = "name";
	
	return $public_query_vars;
}

add_filter('generate_rewrite_rules', 'recent_coupons_rewrite');
add_filter('query_vars', 'add_recent_coupons_query_vars');
?>

PHP:

I've not tested it but i use this for a similar operation on my wp test site.
