yeah, if you compare the number and type of rewrites for this package
with the way that wordpress used to operate, there is a lot of
correlation, instead now wordpress uses a much simpler form of rewrite
which directs the REQUEST_URI to the application for subsequent
alteration, as is the case with your serendipity app. My idea would be
to handle all the serendipity rules with the app, leaving a much
smaller
set of rules which would happily coexist and be easy to modify. I know
you say you aren't a php developer, but it wouldn't be that hard to
locate and alter the script, perhaps though it would be difficult to
subsequently update Serendipity and you would feel this would be a
step
too far. my $0.02 - when wordpress changed their rewrite rules from 2k
down to 4 lines it was great!
Actually, after the behavior I've been seeing while trying to work
out this issue, I think the serendipity application may already work
this way, in spite of the fact that it writes out that long list of
rules. If I am understanding what is going on properly, then as long
as the REQUEST_URI typed into the address bar is one that serendipity
understands (i.e. /categories/8-Nagios) then it doesn't really matter
what it is rewritten to, as long as the rewrite calls index.php? So,
in theory at least, I should be able to replace all those rewrites
with a blanket rewrite whatever to index.php?url=, and it should
still work. Of course, I would need to have exceptions for the
things I DON'T want handled my the serendipity php script, but that
shouldn't be too difficult. I'll have to experiment with that some.
