Change character or wording within a url

[charl9cfc]

Hi All

Am trying to mod_rewrite a URL, but unfortunately without any luck.

http://mywebsite.com/gallery/mycustom-gallery/linkid417

Should be changed to:

http://mywebsite.com/gallery/mycustom-gallery/#417

Where '417' is a dynamic id of an image & mycustom-gallery will also change every-time.

I've tried the following rules, but none seems to work...

RewriteRule ^/gallery/$1/#([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/y/([0-9]+)$ /gallery/$1/linkid [L,R=301]
RewriteRule mycustom-gallery/#.*$ /mycustom-gallery/linkid=417/$1

Regards,
Charl

I had to create rewrite rules involving hashes recently, i made notes here: http://tizardsbriefcase.com/625/apache/apache-rewriterule-rewrite-url-to-hash

I think this is very simple.

 

Try,

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/gallery/mycustom-gallery/[a-z]+([0-9]+)$

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /gallery/mycustom-gallery/\%23%1 [R=301,NE,L]

[cpd]

Could you give us an idea of the bigger picture as this may not be the best way to handle your URL Rewriting if you need to rewrite multiple URLs.
