farcrySolrPro plugin - rewrite rule

[AJ Mercer]

For anyone else (or future self) using farcrySolrPro plugin

and have friendly URLs set up

I have added the following rewrite rule to my set up

# /search?q=ajm&operator=any&lContentTypes=&orderby=rank

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/search

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^q\=(.*)$

RewriteRule ^/search(.*)$ /index.cfm?q=%1&furl=/search [L]

If anyone has suggestions to improve I would be grateful on seeing them.

This is working for me and my head hurts now, so I am going to leave it alone for now :-S

I haven't used FarCry Solr Pro yet, but I don't think there is any requirement to add additional rewrite rules is there? I haven't seen any in the docs, and the URL that you're rewriting to is basically what the standard URL rewrite will do (furl is dynamic though, whereas your is hard-coded to /search).

cheers,

I was loosing everything on the URL scope besides

URL.furl=/serach

Hmmm... I wonder if your old URL rewrites were doing something funky then?

I usually use this for Apache mod_rewrite:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(^/farcry|^/webtop|^/flex2gateway|^/flashservices|^/CFIDE)($|/)

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\/\-\%:\[\]\{\}\|\;\<\>\?\,\*\!\@\#\$\ \(\)\^_`~]*)$ /index.cfm?furl=$1 [L,PT,QSA]




and this for IIS Rewrite in IIS 7.x (using the import option):

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(^/farcry|^/webtop|^/flex2gateway|^/flashservices|^/cfide)($|/)

RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ /index.cfm?furl=/$1&%1 [L,PT,QSA]

The "QSA" means "query string append" which means any existing query string variables should make it through to the rewritten URL.

cheers,
Justin

And just for completeness, those are from the wiki:

D'oh!

I did not have [QSA] on my rule

working as advertised now - thank you Justin

We had set the default action page to use URL variables (and the pagination links use  by default) to allow people to easily add the site search variable functionality in something like Google Analytics.  If you'd prefer it to automatically go right to an FU instead, just override the webskin in the plugin.

@Justin: Any reason why in IIS you don't tick both the "ignore case" options?

@Mark: I don't think I've ever run into any case sensitivity issues with IIS 7.x to need to explore any further configuration options :)

cheers,

Justin
