mod rewrite question for static urls

Hi,
I'm trying to expand the category tree on the storefront.
I've got Miva 4.14 VC/CPT,SFT,PPT and OUI with DWP.
Any toggles that I am missing to do this, or do I need to replace the Miva
Generated category tree completely?
Thanks,
Art

mod rewrite question for static urls

oops my syntax error... try it just like the original rewriteCond
but put the tolower: in front...
like this...
RewriteCond %{tolower:QUERY_STRING} Category_Code=(.*)& [NC]
That is what I meant to type

mod rewrite question for static urls

Change mv to mvc! Your store is compiled and have a closer look at the faq
file concerning the syntax you are using.

BTW Why are you adding a after storecode (is your storecode really
storecode?)??

Subject: [mru] Question about static search form.

Hola. I am having a problem with my static search form.

Here is the code I pasted in from the viking coders tutorial with a couple
of slight mods:

<form Style="display:inline" FORM METHOD = "post" ACTION
="<A HREF ="http://www.sermonvideos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?>">http://www.sermonvideos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?></A>
<INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "Store_Code" VALUE = "storecode">
<INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "Screen" VALUE = "SRCHM">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Search_desc" VALUE="1">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Search_name" VALUE="1">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Search_keys" VALUE="1">
<INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "BrokSearch_Have_List_Fields" VALUE="1">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Search_search" SIZE="22" VALUE=""
style="position:
relative; top: 2; border-style: solid; border-width: 1">
<input type="image" name="submit" align="middle"
src="newestgobutton8.gif"
width="29" height="19">
</form>

When I try to search for something, it gives me a "404 not found error"
and this is what is shown in the URL Address bar:
<A HREF ="http://www.sermonvideos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?><INPUT%20TYPE%20=">http://www.sermonvideos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?><INPUT%20TYPE%20=</A>

Here is a link to the store for a try:

<A HREF ="http://www.sermonvideos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?">http://www.sermonvideos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?</A>

Thanks for any help!

mod rewrite question for static urls

I found out this will only work in httpd.conf not in the .htaccess file...
So it will depend on how your host has your serving set up if you can
have access to do it in your httpd.conf file or not.
the httpd.conf affects a lot more than just your html directories...so
if you are on a shared server, your host will probably not allow this.
