Mod Rewrite problems (problems caused by Mod Rewrites?)

[gaeleth]

Can anyone summarize potential problems for a dynamic website caused by implementing mod (url) rewrites?
Particularly for website maintenance such as the ability to create new categories (folders of content) keeping in mind that those categories that appear in the URL now (www.website.com/category/) have been rewritten from a parameter in a dynamic structure (www.website.com/site?section=category)
My IT resources claim they now have to code links twice

I'm not clear why or how this could be possible. Yet it appears to coincide with the reslease of our rewrites.

Any insights??

Thank you!!

It would be handy to know your actual site URL and wheather you are using a content management system.
also are you running your own server and is it IIS or Apache (or something else) ( I assume apache as Mod_rewrite for IIS is very hard to do)
If you do implement a mod_rewrite your team may have to rewrite the links manually or else use a redirect which will mean serving 2 pages for every link clicked.
if you are using a redirect make sure its a 30q redirect in order to make it search engine friendly.
Also stuff like image code may have to be rewritten or you may have to create dupicate directories for the same images.

EG: yoursite.com/site?section=category has an image located in yoursite.com/image.jpg with mod_rewrite enabled the page code looks for the image at yoursite.com/catagory/image.jpg

you should be able to create automatic rules in Mod_rewrite that take care of everything, but its not easy.
it would be better to see your URL and your mod_rewrite httaccess code.
