Ultimate SEO URL's with Isapi ReWrite for IIS6

[Bjorn]

How about this free Isapi Rewrite for IIS6?

http://cheeso.members.winisp.net/IIRF.aspx

This site has an example of reworking the url rewrite rules for IIRF. If anyone could help rework what Bjorn posted, I'd appreciate it very much.

it also has logging capabilities that should help diagnose when something does go as expected.

Thanks

Hi Glitch,

I'll try squeeze this into my schedule this week. It seems there are some advanced features (from my initial overview IE logging) and the rewrite scripts looks much easier to manage!

I have noticed a bug with the Isapi_ReWrite module from Helitech in that it will not let the web server display .html extension files (This is a ReWrite .httpd file command issue, I'm working with Alex and Helicon to fix this).

I'll let you know what I can produce end of week. Cheers,

Bjorn

Hey bjorn I made a different approach to this issue and made a custom 404 handler to make this work.

<?php
	$url="";
	$server_location = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
	$lval = split("/", $server_location);
	$lval = $lval[count($lval)-1];
	$sval = split("\?", $lval);
	$querystring = $sval[1];
	$origurl = $sval[0];
	
	
	function left($str, $length) {
		return substr($str, 0, $length);
	} 

	function right($str, $length) {
		return substr($str, -$length);
	}
	
	function instr($mainstr, $searchstr) {
		if (strpos($mainstr, $searchstr) === false) { return false; } else { return true; }
	}
	
	function getID($type) {
		global $origurl;
		$id = substr($origurl, strpos($origurl, $type)+strlen($type), strpos($origurl, ".")-strpos($origurl, $type)-strlen($type)); /*fancy string work*/
		return $id;
	}
	
	
	function getURL() {
		global $origurl, $url;
		if (instr($origurl, "-c-")) {
				$id = getID("-c-");
				$url="index.php?cPath=$id&$querystring";
		}
		if (instr($origurl, "-p-")) {
				$id = getID("-p-");
				$url="product_info.php?products_id=$id&$querystring";
		}         
		if (instr($origurl, "-m-")) {
				$id = getID("-m-");
				$url="index.php?manufacturers_id=$id&$querystring";
		}       
		if (instr($origurl, "-pi-")) {
				$id = getID("-pi-");
				$url="popup_image.php?pID=$id&$querystring";
		}
		if (instr($origurl, "-pri-")) {
				$id = getID("-pri-");
				$url="product_reviews_info.php?products_id=$id&$querystring";
		}     
		if (instr($origurl, "-t-")) {
				$id = getID("-t-");
				$url="articles.php?tPath=$id&$querystring";
		}
		if (instr($origurl, "-a-")) {
				$id = getID("-a-");
				$url="article_info.php?articles_id=$id&$querystring";
		}   
		if (instr($origurl, "-pr-")) {
				$id = getID("-pr-");
				$url="product_reviews.php?products_id=$id&$querystring";
		}    
		if (instr($origurl, "-i-")) {
				$id = getID("-i-");
				$url="information.php?info_id=$id&$querystring";
		}
		if (instr($origurl, "-links-")) {
				$id = getID("-links-");
				$url="links.php?lPath=$id&$querystring";
		}
		                   
	}
	
	getURL();
		
	if ($url!="") {
		$data = file_get_contents("yoursitehere.com/$url&skip_check=true");
		echo $data;
	} else {
		echo "<center>Page cannot be found, if you feel you have gotten to this page by error please contact an admin [email protected]</center>";		
	}
?>

Modification in the seo code so you can skip the friendly redirect back to the 404 page.

// Ultimate SEO URLs v2.1
  if ((!defined(SEO_ENABLED)) || (SEO_ENABLED == 'true')) {
  	if ($_GET['skip_check']!=true) { 
	    include_once(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'seo.class.php');
	    if ( !is_object($seo_urls) ){
	      $seo_urls = new SEO_URL($languages_id);
	    }
    }
  }

hope this helps some of you on IIS out.

i'm very confused....

I've installed isapi rewrite 3 on my server (IIS6), and i used httpd.ini (uploaded in the root) like Bjorn said but nothing seems work.

I can't set server myself because it's in housing in a farm, but they say that all settings are ok.

They say that errors occour like these:

Unknown expression on line #1: [ISAPI_Rewrite]
Unknown expression on line #3: UriMatchPrefix /backstagericcione.it
Unknown expression on line #4: UriFormatPrefix /backstagericcione.it
Unknown expression on line #39: UriMatchPrefix
Unknown expression on line #40: UriFormatPrefix


I'm really getting crazy... please... can anybody hel me?

Thanks (and sorry about my english.... )
