Apache Mod\_Rewrite Rules
-------------------------

[](#apache-mod_rewrite-rules)

---

When using the nav\_xml\_format of "rewrite", you need to have to following apache mod\_rewrite rules in place for the application navigation to work correctly. You can tweak the rules to suit you application, but there needs to be a catch-all rule that forward all pages through the applications main index.php script. Also, the pass-through for the CSS, images, and Javascript is important as well.

#### Example:

[](#example)

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(\[^/\\.\]+).html$ index.php?page=$1 \[L\] RewriteRule ^(themes|css|img|javascript) - \[L\] RewriteRule .*favicon.ico$ - \[L\] RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php \[L,qsa\]

**If you are using Virtual Document Roots with Apache your rules will most likely need to look something like this:**

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^(\[^/\\.\]+).html$ index.php?page=$1 \[L\] RewriteRule ^(themes|css|img|javascript) - \[L\] RewriteRule Ê.*favicon.ico$ - \[L\] RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php \[L,qsa\]
