Hi

I have just found this GREATE ISAPI

http://cheeso.members.winisp.net/dl/Ion ... writer.zip

It let's you use SEO on IIS!!

Here is the rules to make a "out of the box" Mamabo/Joomla running with SEO turned on.

# Joomla/Mambo rewrite rules
RewriteRule  ^/$                      /index.php
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/blogsection/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/ /index.php?option=com_$1&task=blogsectiony&id=$2&Itemid=$3
RewriteRule ^/content/section/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/ /index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=$1&Itemid=$2
RewriteRule ^/component/option,([^/]+)/([^/]+),([^/]+)/([^/]+),([^/]+)/([^/]+),([^/]+) /index.php?option=$1&$2=$3&$4=$5&$6=$7
RewriteRule ^/component/option,([^/]+)/([^/]+),([^/]+)/ /index.php?option=$1&$2=$3
RewriteRule ^/content/category/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/ /index.php?option=com_content&task=category§ionid=$1=&id=$2&Itemid=$3
RewriteRule ^/content/view/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/ /index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=$1&Itemid=$2&limit=$3&limitstart=$4
RewriteRule ^/content/view/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/ /index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=$1&Itemid=$2


I'm not deep into regular expression, so I assume that the above can be optimized - but it works 


Plese let me know if you optimize or find any improvements.

Hi,
    Nice find......... but people who are hosting on some else server wont be able use it right ? Or can they .... I found the following thread in the forum ........ http://forum.opensourcematters.org/index.php/topic,1094.0.html

It seems you can enable search engine optimization without the need for any rewrite filter.....
I havent tried it yet but a number of people have tried it and it seems it works

Hi

You are correct, you need to install it on the server, but..

It comes with full source, so I assume (hope) that a hosting company will install it.
It can be installed pr. virtual server or global.

PS. I've created an "optimized" version:
RewriteRule  ^/$                      /index.php
RewriteRule ^/content/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/ /index.php?option=com_content&task=$1&id=$2&Itemid=$3&limit=$4&limitstart=$5
RewriteRule ^/content/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/ /index.php?option=com_content&task=$1&id=$2&Itemid=$3
RewriteRule ^/component/option,([^/]+)/([^/]+),([^/]+)/([^/]+),([^/]+)/([^/]+),([^/]+) /index.php?option=$1&$2=$3&$4=$5&$6=$7
RewriteRule ^/component/option,([^/]+)/([^/]+),([^/]+)/ /index.php?option=$1&$2=$3

This works great for Joomla itself, but unfortunately won't work with two of my most important components - namely Mambo-phpShop and SMF.

For these components, if I manually add a index.php?/ statement into the beginning of the URL (immediately after the domain name) then they work. I wonder, could anyone write a rewrite rule to take this into account for these components?

Where should I paste these rewrite rules..?

.htaccess or ?
