In htaccess, I have this (one example)

# 13: Module (old style call) 3 parameters

RewriteRule ^([^\+]+)\+([^-]+)-([^-]+)-([^-]*)-([^-]+)-([a-zA-Z0-9_]*).html$
modules.php?op=modload&name=$1&file=$2&$3=$4&$5=$6 [L]

But I need to write the equivalent rewrite for a module with 1 param. I am
not conversant at all with regular expressions, and it is not clear how to
adapt the above to

modules.php?op=modload&name=$1&file=$2&$3=$4

Help and an explanation would be much appreciated! What would be the corresponding PHP code too?

thanks,

brian

geesh is that english?
there's a function of Xanthia(?) for short URLs, why bother with this?

bri - It's not English, it's Regular Expressions (RegEx). And you have to bother with it because the Xanthia functionality is based on rewrite rules such as these that are written used with RegEx.

bhuether - Do you still need an answer? (About the time you posted this, I was having a heart attack. )

Since discussion is going on here May I add few lines to it! I am using Postnukeblue Xanthia theme the short URL I've checked has phtml extension without prefix dot. But no pages are working.... please help..

mine version is .750 security 2 patched (manually uploaded and installed one). Thanks.

.htaccess is blank (which I created after seeing red-letter instruction from Xanthia config.)

Dragonnuke : there is an .htaccess file somewhere under modules/xanthia/pndocs/shorturls/phtml which you should copy to your websites root.

Thanks alot!
