Hi,
I am using Abyss to host an on-line store using Cubecart and I would like to use the SEO facility within Cubecart, but the only option I have (other than to select php generated pages) is to select one of the following:

Apache ReWriteRule supported
Apache lookback supported only
Apache lookback and Forcetype supported

I have played around with the tutorials on URL rewriting but have just about given up. Does anyone have any suggestions what I should try since I would really like to move away from php pages.
The format of the original pages are:

http://www.co.uk/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=5
and after php generation are
http://www.co.uk/anticlastic-earrings/cat_5.php

Something similar using URL rewriting would be excellent.

Regards

Richard

Maybe something like this would work?

Virtual Path Regular Expression: ^/anticlastic-earrings/cat_([0-9]+)\.php
If this rule matches: Perform an internal redirection
Redirect to: /index.php?act=viewCat&catId=$1
Next Action: Stop matching

Hi TrustAbyss,

Thank you for your swift reply. I have managed to find the htaccess file for the cart and this is it:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.+)
RewriteRule cat_(.*).html index.php?act=viewCat&catId=$1&%1 [L]
RewriteRule cat_(.*).html index.php?act=viewCat&catId=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.+)
RewriteRule prod_(.*).html index.php?act=viewProd&productId=$1&%1 [L]
RewriteRule prod_(.*).html index.php?act=viewProd&productId=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.+)
RewriteRule info_(.*).html index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=$1&%1 [L]
RewriteRule info_(.*).html index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.+)
RewriteRule tell_(.*).html index.php?act=taf&productId=$1&%1 [L]
RewriteRule tell_(.*).html index.php?act=taf&productId=$1 [L]



I have absolutely no idea how to convert this to Abyss format and would be grateful for any pointers/hints etc..

Regards

Richard
