Hello,

Today I will show you how to add a new Rewrite Rule to your Clip-Bucket powered website, such as /myaccount, /videos, etc. You must have a page previously created, of course. This can be adapted to any website that uses Rewrite Rules (apache mod_rewrite).

1. Let’s say you have a page called my_earnings.php, and you regularly access it by going to http://yoursite.tld/my_earnings.php and we want the SEO URL to just be /myearnings.

OpenCart – Apache Mod Rewrite & SEO

WHAT IS APACHE MOD REWRITE

Apache Mod Rewrite is an Apache mod that provides a rule-based rewriting engine to rewrite requested URLs on the fly. In layman’s terms: you can change the url that people see in your browser bar to something of your choice. There “are” however rules about this that should be followed especially when it comes to Search Engine Optimization and how Google handles the url’s. Most just know how to “turn SEO URL” on from the Opencart system settings but few actually know how it works and to be fair most don’t. This is for those that want a little better understanding on the process.  I find that having knowledge, is power, and gives you the ability to maximize your efficiency on the web with your online commerce store. We won’t delve into the actual code on the APACHE side but more so on the Opencart side.

If you would like to do a domain URL redirection from domain.com to www.domain.com or vise versa, you can do something like this:

Place either of these (depending on what you’d like done. And edit to match your domain) inside the <system.webServer></system.webServer> tags in the web.config of the domain.

<rewrite><rules>
<rule name=”Add WWW prefix” >
  <match url=”(.*)” ignoreCase=”true” />
    <conditions>
      <add input=”{HTTP_HOST}” pattern=”^domain\.com” />
    </conditions>
  <action type=”Redirect” url=”http://www.domain.com/{R:1}”
    redirectType=”Permanent” />
</rule>

—

<rule name=”Remove WWW prefix” >
  <match url=”(.*)” ignoreCase=”true” />
    <conditions>
      <add input=”{HTTP_HOST}” pattern=”^www\.domain\.com” />
    </conditions>
  <action type=”Redirect” url=”http://domain.com/{R:1}”
    redirectType=”Permanent” />
</rule>
</rules></rewrite>
