In content management systems, URLs are often not predetermined and therefore not created statically (as posts or menu items) in advance, but rather access objects from the database. Similar to WordPress ( as described here ), it's also possible to create dynamic URL structures in Joomla (independent of the internal alias system). This can be achieved either with JRouter – or with a single line of code in the .htaccess file.
First you create a menu item (e.g. with the alias "subfolder") and let it point to a prepared post (e.g. with the ID 1337) Then you put the following rule in the .htaccess directly after the introductory line RewriteEngine On :
RewriteRule ^subfolder/([^/]*)\.html$ /index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1337&name=$1 [L]Then you get the URL after calling up
https://tld.com/subfolder/foo.html
the content of the page
https://tld.com/subfolder/?name=foo
In the above-mentioned article (or the modules connected to the menu item), the exact URL can then be easily queried with $ _GET ["name"]. If you are working with IIS instead of Apache, you should add the following instruction to the .htaccess equivalent (in the web.config):
<rule name="custom route 1" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^subfolder/([^/]*)\.html$" ignoreCase="false" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1337&name={R:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
</rule>
