[Gesior] How to hide "?subtopic=account"

[petardako]

Hello,

I want to "hide" ?subtopic= in my URL. I mean,
instead of: www.x.com/?subtopic=account
to see: www.x.com/account/create for example

Any idea?

Create a .htaccess file on your repository with this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?subtopic=$1

Thanks for your reponse vankk,

there are some .htaccess in gesior by default (deny from all), should I create a new one? and where exactly?
I tried adding that before but still dont work.

Btw, should I change my account.php to account (without.php extension)?

Use the code that I gave to you in your htdocs folder, if you are using Windows, of course, but if you are using Linux, you probably will need follow this tutorial. Also, changing the php extension isn't needed,

It wont work with action forms
About that:

to see: www.x.com/account/create for example

You will still have to use for example:
www.x.com/account&action=create

still not work...

Sorry for the late reply mate. What you are most likely looking for is called "URL MASKING".

There are various ways you can go about that, one being via .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /pagename.php$
RewriteRule .* /otherpage.html [L]
