Contao Short URLs
Simple extension to provide "Short URLs", i.e. redirects to existing resources which otherwise have a longer URL. For instance you can make redirects like
example.org/foo
»http://www.example.org/lorem/ipsum/dolor.html
example.org/123pdf
»http://www.example.org/files/lorem/ipsum/dolor.pdf
example.org/abcd
»http://www.some-other-website.com/foo.html
without editing the .htaccess file (to insert these redirects as Redirect, RedirectMatch or RewriteRule directives) or changing the server configuration. These redirects can be created in the backend under Content » Short URLs.
Requirements
You need to edit Contao 3's default .htaccess
file and change it as if you are using URLs without an .html
suffix. i.e. you have to change these lines:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(htm|php|js|css|map|htc|png|gif|jpe?g|ico|xml|csv|txt|swf|flv|mp4|webm|ogv|mp3|ogg|oga|eot|otf|tt[cf]|woff2?|svgz?|pdf|gz)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .*\.html$ index.php [L]
to
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(htm|php|js|css|map|htc|png|gif|jpe?g|ico|xml|csv|txt|swf|flv|mp4|webm|ogv|mp3|ogg|oga|eot|otf|tt[cf]|woff2?|svgz?|pdf|gz)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
so that any request (which does not point to a file or directory) is processed by Contao.
Contao 4
No changes to the .htaccess
are necessary for Contao 4. Also you need to require at least version ^1.3.3
of this extension.
