I have a URL that is like the following:
http://www.example.com/client/project/subdirectory/value/
I would like like a simple way to be able to change/redirect the URL to the following:
http://www.example.com/client/project/#/subdirectory/value/
Once the redirect is complete, the hash needs to be accessible via JavaScript. I'm okay with a full refresh/redirect, just ideally that I write this once and don't have to change it again.
In other words, when the site goes live, the URLs will be structured differently, so that:
http://www.example.com/subdirectory/value/
Will change to:
http://www.example.com/#/subdirectory/value/
Edit:
I have tried using this: RewriteRule ^profile/?$ #/profile/ [ NC,L]
Which doesn't seem to do anything
Also tried this: RewriteRule ^profile/?$ /#/profile/ [NC,L]
Which takes me to the root directory
Also tried this: RewriteRule ^profile/?$ #/profile/ [R,NC,L]
Which adds the whole root path to the server, followed by /%23/profile/
If you have a URL like the following:
http://localhost/tests/redir/subdirectory/value/
And you want to get it redirected to:
http://localhost/tests/redir/#/subdirectory/value/
Place a .htaccess
file into the directory of tests/redir
with the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /tests/redir
RewriteRule ^(.*/)$ #/$1 [R,L,NE]
And you will get the wanted redirect. The R
flag plays together with the RewriteBase
directive. Also the NE
flag is necessary so that you can put #
literally into the redirect URI.
The hash is already used by page anchor tags. You might need to replace it with an entity or pick a better character.
