[TYPO3-english] Trying to get realurl to work

[Tim Shelley]

Hi,

I recently installed the realurl extension to give our website better and human readable URLs but it does not seem to work.

This is what I have done so far, have I missed anything:

mod_rewrite enabled in apache2
AllowOverride set to FileInfo
htaccess file contains the rewrite rules as found in http://wiki.typo3.org/Realurl/manual. My website is located locally at http://localhost/testwebsite. So the .htaccess I modified lives in /var/www/testwebsite
restarted apache2
imported and installed the realurl extension

On one of the pages on my website the field "Speaking URL path segment" has now appeared and I set that as page.html.

When I go to the website and to that page it is still showing http://localhost/testwebsite/index.php?id=90 rather than http://localhost/testwebsite/page.html.

Does anyone know what I have missed or done wrong? Thanks.

Hi Tim,

AllowOverride set to 'all' in virtual host configuration? Realurl generates
correct URLS without mod_rewrite enabled - they just won't 'link' to the
right place without mod_rewrite. If you want to make sure mod_rewrite is
working anyway, go into the install tool and check phpinfo for mod_rewrite.

Realurl configuration:

- check Typoscript setup for config.tx_realurl_enable = 1 in root
template
- Make sure you have created domain records on your site root page.
- Clear website cache. If that doesn't work, uninstall realurl, clear
cache, view frontend website, reinstall, clear cache, view website.

If you are still having issues, please send: realurl version, Typo3 version.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply I've got a little further:

I added localhost as a domain record to the root page.

I have added the config items to the root template (it was in the template for just that page).

Now when I navigate to the page I get:

localhost/testwebsite/90

Rather than:

localhost/testwebsite/page.html - the page.html is specified in the page Speaking URL path segment field.

localhost/testwebsite/90

Usually this happens when RealURL can't find the configuration for the
domain. If you have a _DEFAULT_ entry instead of a domain in your
realurl_conf.php it's best to convert it to a configuration based on the
domain name (see RealURL manual).

[azdour]

Hi,

I've been able to move on from:

localhost/testwebsite/90

to

localhost/testwebsite/page/

If I use the page alias field. But I am still looking to get my real urls to look like the following:

localhost/testwebsite/page.html

"If you have a _DEFAULT_ entry instead of a domain in your realurl_conf.php it's best to convert it to a configuration based on the
domain name (see RealURL manual)."

Not sure I understand. I think what I am looking for is how to configure filenames for different pagetypes, because its the filename that is page.html. It would be good to see examples of how to do this, thanks.

It is described in the manual, how to make it. Read the manual, please :)
It is useful.

Hi Azdour,

InRealUrl configuration under filename add this line
"'defaultToHTMLsuffixOnPrev' => 1," like in example:

'fileName' => array(
'index' => array(
//ajout pour printlink :
'print.html' => array(
'keyValues' => array(
type=> 98,
)
),
),
'_DEFAULT' => array(
'keyValues' => array(
)
),
// add .html suffix to the end of the path generated
'defaultToHTMLsuffixOnPrev' => 1,
),
),


Best regards,
Sinisa

Hi ,

Dmitry - trust me I did Google the issue and read the extension manual before resorting to this forum :)

Sinisa - thanks

I will give the manual another read.

Don't google. Read the manual. There is an option exactly for that. There
is absolutely no need to google this.

Hi!
It could be better if he found this himself :) He would have to really read
the doc. While reading, he could discover things that could help him in
future to avoid googling :)

For education of people who are ... let's say a bit lazy ... you could use: http://lmgtfy.com/ ...
works out great ;)

Hi,

Just to be clear I did read the doc before resorting to Google. I think my problem is that for some reason I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it. Not sure why just waiting for that magic moment when things click into place.

Within typo3 when editing the page where do I place the filename that should be known/displayed? The alias field does not allow the '.' character.

Name is the alias field, extension is added automatically, you configure it
in the RealURL configuration. So if you configure 'html' and alias is
'love', than you will get 'love.html' automatically like this:

http://example.com/love.html
http://example.com/love/forever.html
