I've isolated the root cause to be related to the parseUrl() function within ip_cms/frontend/site.php
All was ok in my .htaccess files already provided in my initial post. (thanks anyway Sokolowski). The provided workaround from maskas is not good enought, I really don't want files in my root, only one directory.
Some background info:
Having the
folder structure:
http://www.(mydomain).com/
impress/en/left/text/
and the
url structure:
http://www.(mydomain).com/en/left/text/
and the .htacces described above to make this happen.
Then it will reach the impresspages with the following server variables set:
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = '/impress/index.php'
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = '/en/left/text/'
Now the function parseUrl() located in ip_cms/frontend/site.php on line 228 will not properly extract the paramaters from the url. I've solved this to change the first code line of this function:
Code:
$urlVarsStr = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], strrpos($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], '/') + 1, 300);
Into:
Code:
$scriptPath = substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], 0, strrpos($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], '/') + 1 );
if( strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] , $scriptPath ) === 0 ) {
$urlVarsStr = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], strrpos($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], '/') + 1, 300);
} else {
$urlVarsStr = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 1, 300);
}
The idea behind is that normally the path of the script_name is also the first part of the request_uri. Impresspages is presuming this always to be true. However when using the mod_rewrite this can be different. I first check if the scriptPath does exist in the request_uri (on position zero, that's why it needs === to separate from false) , if so then the normal $urlVarsStr is kept. If not then the $urlVarsStr is based on the request_uri without the first slash '/'.
This worked for me and I hope this will contribute to the impresspages development and if further explanation is needed then please let me know.
