Tech Wordpress Permalinks : How to?

[hausarzt]

Hi Folks.

Is there any way to achive this permalink strukture?

DOMAIN/CATEGORY/SUBCATEGORY/SUBCATEGORY

mysite.org/cars/bmw/engine
mysite.org/cars/audi/engine
mysite.org/cars/ford/engine

The problem is the category "engine". As far as I know, it's not possible to have a slug multiple times. Any plugins, coders, hacks to make this possible?

you can use the rewrite api to pretty much do anything, i would look into that.

actually it's not that hard once you understand how this works.. the most basic example would be

create a file called .htaccess and paste this into it

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+) index.php?first=$1&second=$2&third=$3 [NC,L]

</IfModule>

save it and upload it to your server

now create the index.php file

<?php

print_r($_GET);

?>

upload both to your server and open up

domain.com/cars/bmw/engine

it will print something like

Array ( [first] => cars [second] => bmw [third] => engine )

Regards.

also, make sure to block folders you don't want .htaccess to use... to do this, simply add for example

RewriteRule ^images - [L,NC]

before the RewriteEngine On
