Friendly URLs for Link Tracking

[Keith]

I tried to post this in the Tips/Tricks forum but I don't have permissions to start a new thread there. If a mod want's to move this over to that forum, cool.

 

I was trying to add my homepage link to a site I'm on using a link tracking URL "site.com/whmcs/link.php?id=12" but they didn't allow the "?" character.

 

So I decided to set up friendly URLs for link tracking so that I could enter it in the format of "site.com/whmcs/link/12".

 

Just open the .htaccess that's in your root installation folder and add this code:

# Link Tracking
RewriteRule ^link/([0-9]+)$ ./link.php?id=$1 [L,NC]

 

There you go. Now you can access any link tracking URL by using:

yoursite.com/(whmcs_install_folder)/link/(id_of_link_tracking_url)

 

Hope this will help someone out.
