Question

Earlier the admin RewriteRule was effecting scripts/admin.js until I added the RewriteCond.

Then I noticed that scripts/members.js was being effected by the same rule with the member context.

I added the exact same RewriteCond after as is below…

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(css|js|zip)$
RewriteRule .*/admin(.+) admin$1 [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(css|js|zip)$
RewriteRule .*/members(.+) members$1 [QSA]

Instead of having to manually add a RewriteCond every time to deal with issues how can I merge these rules please?

RewriteRule .*/admin(.+) admin$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule .*/blog(.+) blog$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule .*/forums(.+) forums$1 [QSA]

Answer 1

You can merge your three checks into one like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(css|js|zip)$
RewriteRule .*/(admin|blog|forms)(.+) $1$2 [QSA]

But it does seem like a rule to simply stop processing for js/css files will be a better option for you, unless you actually need rules applied to them for some reason.
