I inserted this rule in my .htaccess
file:
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?content=category&categoryname=$1 [NC,L]
In this way I can get friendly urls like this: http://localhost/mysite/london
I'd also like to use a friendly url for my contact page like so: https://localhost/mysite/index.php?content=message to become: https://localhost/mysite/contact
But if I insert the below rule into .htaccess
...
RewriteRule ^contact/?$ index.php?content=message [NC,L]
...it doesn't work as it seems that the rule for the categories affects this rule.
In fact, if I comment out the category rule...
#RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?content=category&categoryname=$1 [NC,L]
...the url friendly rule for the contact page works (https://localhost/mysite/contact)
So I'm looking for the possibility to exclude some parameter from the category rule to allow for a redirect in some case to another url.
Thanks for any suggestions...
