[wp-hackers] Permalinkg Rule

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

..And now for a "proper" implementation of it... Mike, I dont get whats so  
hard.. Perhaps you need to start off basic, and work your way up, instead  
of writing a parser from scratch..

Implemented as a plugin, which you can view here:  
http://dd32.id.au/files/wordpress/example-contributors-rewrite.php

For the sake of people who wont follow links, here's the guts of that  
plugin, without comments, to show the difference to Mikes suggestion:


<?php

register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'example_activate');
function example_activate() {
	global $wp_rewrite;
	example_add_rule();
	$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}

add_filter('query_vars', 'example_add_query_var');
function example_add_query_var($qvars) {
	$qvars[] = 'contributor';
	return $qvars;
}

add_action('init', 'example_add_rule');
function example_add_rule() {
	add_rewrite_rule('contributors/([^/]+)/?',  
'index.php?pagename=contributors&contributor=$matches[1]', 'top');
}

add_action('template_redirect', 'example_output', 50);
function example_output(){

	if ( get_query_var('contributor') ) {
		echo "We're viewing contributor <em>" . get_query_var('contributor') .  
'</em> in this example';
	}

}

?>
