Question

I have the following two url cases …

1. http://url.com/one
2. http://url.com/category/some

If those urls are called I want mod_rewrite to call …

1. http://url.com/#!/one
2. http://url.com/#!/category/some

How can I do that?

Answer 1

Something like this?

# not existing file (images, css, etc)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# no query parameters
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =""
# not /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$
# external redirect and pass along query string and uri as fragment
# i guess this must be an external redirect as the server side should
# not see the fragment, R=redirect, NE=dont escape #, L=last rule
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /#!/$1 [R,NE,L]

# same but with query parameter
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /?%{QUERY_STRING}#!/$1 [R,NE,L]  

But im not sure if this is good idea. Maybe you should do the redirect in application logic or with a client side script instead.
