Rewrite Rule Exception

[-Karl-]

I have my rewrite rules:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule \.(gif|png|jpg|css|js)$|^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteRule ^admincp/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)?$ index.php?page=admincp&$1=$2&id=$3 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^admincp/(.*)/(.*)?$ index.php?page=admincp&$1=$2 [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)/([0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z._&-]+)?$ index.php?page=$1&flibble=$1view&id=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/([0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z._&-]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1&flibble=$1view&id=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/([0-9]+)?$ index.php?page=$1&flibble=$1view&id=$2 [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)/([a-zA-Z._&-]+)?$ index.php?page=$1&skill=$2&orderby=level [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ index.php?page=$1&skill=$2&rsname=$3&action=$4 [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ index.php?page=$1 [NC,L]

 

However, as you can see, it will rewrite anything.

 

I need to make an exception for the forums directory.

 

Any ideas how I would do this?

RewriteRule ^forums/?$ - [L]

Didn't work.

With you providing such elaborate details, it's amazing you haven't found a solution.

Is that sarcasm that my spidey senses can detect?

What cags means, is that with your extensive mod_rewrites, you should know how to add an exception for /forums... I believe. However, throwing attitude about like that when you are asking for help, just doesn't get you anywhere bud.

 

Whats you're forum directory?

[cags]

No he was right first time, that's sarcasm. I'm not putting in more effort to solve your problem than you are. Therefore, "doesn't work", doesn't cut it.

Ah, my bad. I must of read it wrong first time round. Sorry (:

Before I had posted that "doesn't work" I had already got it working, therefore I didn't fancy wasting my time writing anymore.

Very community spirited of you.

Very community spirited of you.

 

Thanks, you're getting quite good with sarcasm, keep it up and you may one day be as good as me.
