.htaccess - CakePHP remove "?url=" from the URL after a redirect -

i'm using cakephp php application.

by default puts .htaccess file:

rewriterule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [qsa,l] 

after rule, doing this:

redirectmatch ^/resources(.*)$ http://domain.com/community$1 [qsa,r=permanent,l] 

this makes redirected url:

http://domain.com/community/view/171/?url=resources/view/171/ 

how can rid of appended "?url=" without breaking cakephp's routing?

if understand question correctly, want have requests /community/* routed resourcescontroller. should able acheive adding following app/config/routes.php.

/**  * rename /resources/* /community/*  */ router::connect('/community', array('controller' => 'resources')); router::connect('/community/:action/*', array('controller' => 'resources')); 

the second rule of magic, mapping matching requests resourcescontroller , passing in action also.

with above approach can take advantage of reverse-routing:

echo $this->html->link('view community', array(     'controller' => 'resources',     'action' => 'view',     $id )); // outputs link `/community/view/171` 

the first rule there keep action name out of root url (ie. htmlhelper links reverse-routed become /community instead of /community/index).

following on lazyone's comment, if looking redirect old /resources*-style links seo purposes, following should trick:

# app/webroot/.htaccess <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>     rewriteengine on     rewriterule ^/resources(.*)$ /community$1 [r=301,l] # permanent redirect     rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d     rewritecond %{request_filename} !-f     rewriterule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [qsa,l] </ifmodule>
