[uf-discuss] Tag to URL namespacing, mod_rewrite?

[David Janes -- BlogMatrix]

If I remember properly, you have to do something like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/tag/([^/]*)/?$ $1/app/script.php?tag=$2 [L]

You may have to play with this a bit. If you get stuck, you may have to 
do things with Internal Proxies. I'd try to be a bit more specific here, 
but mod_rewrite stuff can suck up hours of time.

Regards, etc...
