[wp-hackers] Bug or feature: Wordpress default rewrite rules cannot be overridden?

[Bjorn Wijers]

Austin,

Thank you very much for your quick reply!.

I'm not quite there yet. Since using this gives me a 404 instead of the
page it should redirect to. I presume my rule does not match correctly
when using permalinks? Or am I missing something else?

This is the rule I use:

$docs_rule3 = array(
'this-is-a-page/this-is-my-public-q-var/([a-zA-Z0-9]{1,})/?$' =>
'index.php?pagename=this-is-a-page&my-extra-var=this-is-my-public-q-var&this-is-a-var=$matches[1]'
);

To match this:

http://site.dev/this-is-a-page/this-is-my-public-query-var/this-is-a-random-string/

or without permalinks

http://site.dev/?pagename=this-is-a-page&my-extra-var=this-is-my-public-query-var&this-is-a-var=this-is-a-random-string

Both should redirect to the page. In this case with the name
this-is-a-page.

Any help much appreciated!

grtz
