Hi, I've use htaccess to rewrite some of my dynamic URLs like this
Content visible to registered users only.

and I've edit link.tpl to call like this
Content visible to registered users only.
to match my htaccess file. My problem is when URLs has been called, it will be displayed like this
http://www.estateround.com/Real-estate-directory-Listings-details-23-Bay%20Area%20Real%20Estate.html

There has some %20 in my url becuase {$link.TITLE} that queried from DB has their own spaces and its spaced has been automatically encoded to "%20" I want to replace "-" instead of "%20" Is there a way to do that?

Regards,
Sxperm

%20 is the ecoded whitespace. It is not recommended to heave white space in your url, it can easily break, specially when you send it to someone else. This is why url are encoded and decoded when they are queried.

Instead of {$link.TITLE} there should be {$link.TITLE_URL} which has allready removed spaces and replaced the with "_". You don't have to make an url rewrite after it.

Thank you for your kindly replied but it did not work. The URL will shown as below
Content visible to registered users only.

It seems that they don't know what {$link.TITLE_URL} so they cannot call it for display, after "23-" is blank. Could you give me more some suggestion?

Best regards,
