Hello,

I have some issues with URL rewriting.
My host doesn't accept the normal .htacces, so I have to use URL rewriting.
With K2 there are still some problems with URL rewriting.

Someone an idea?
For example:
This is the normal url:
index.php?option=com_k2&view=$1&layout=$2&task=$3&id=$4&Itemid=$5

it has to be rewriten with something like:
RewriteRule ^/artikel/?view=(.+)&layout=(.+)&task=(.+)&id=(.+)&Itemid=(.+)/ /index.php?option=com_k2&view=$1&layout=$2&task=$3&id=$4&Itemid=$5

But the above one doesn't work. I am not an expert, but maybe you are?

What do you mean the host does not accept the normal htaccess? Does that mean they do not accept htaccess files at all? Or just not mod_rewrite? Are you having a specific problem or are you trying to get SEF working? What host are you using? Maybe we can be more helpful with that info. :)

Oke... My host uses the IIRF filter for URL-rewriting. It works just perfect, but I have problems with the rewriting of K2 categories.

K2 items and tags are rewriten on the right way, but categories are giving an error.

So the category url: (build like this:)
index.php?option=com_k2&view=$1&layout=$2&task=$3&id=$4&Itemid=$5

has to be rewriten in something like this:

/category-name/ OR k2/category-name or everything else what's in someway a kind of SEF.

Thank you!

Is it a Windows or Linux box?

Sorry for my delayed reply.
