been stuck at this for the past couple of hours here. Let me just illustrate my problem simply by the following lines.
Here's
1) Joomla absolute URL for the page i'm trying to convert: http://classifiedads4free.com/index.php?option=com_adsmanager&view=front
then:
Created menu item and activated SEF urls: So now alias becomes http://classifiedads4free.com/ads
after which:
I added a query string at the back of the URL so it becomes: http://classifiedads4free.com/ads?country=Singapore.
Was just wondering if there's anyway i can make the url at the top http://classifiedads4free.com/ads?country=Singapore. -->http://singapore.classifiedads4free.com
Tried going back to using the absolute URL on my .htaccess file, Following is the code:
1st tried:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.classifiedads4free\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.classifiedads4free\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*\.(jpe?g|png|gif|bmp)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) ads?country=%1 [L]
2nd tried:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.classifiedads4free\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.classifiedads4free\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*\.(jpe?g|png|gif|bmp)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?option=com_adsmanager&view=front&country=%1 [L]
However, I can't seem to get the redirect working. It keeps redirecting me back to my home page which isn't what i requested.
Would appreciate if someone could provide some assistance here. Been trying all day long.
