.htaccess tips

If you are using smarty in your project, and want to prevent access to template files, add the following lines of code in your .htaccess file of your project.

<files ~ "\.tpl$">
order deny,allow
allow from none
deny from all
</files>

In place of .tpl, if you write .html, all html files are denied access.

If you want to remove .php extension from the url of a page (not the parameters), add this code to your .htaccess file.

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

In this way, a url like http://www.domain.com/page.php will work even if you enter in the url: http://www.domain.com/page

css link remove dotted outline

Its quite awkward to look at the link, when it is clicked and the dotted outline appears on it. To overcome it, just add the following line to your css file: a { outline: 0; } For example, to remove the dotted outline for the menu links on your page, add this to your css: #navigation li a {    outline: 0; } ( Assuming you have this menu structure: <ul id="navigation"><li><a href="news.html">News</a></li></ul> )
