Ok, after reading a little in mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey Friedl (O'Reilly), here's what I've come up with:

If I've understood this correctly "|" means OR inside parenthesis, so the rewrite rule basically states that whenever the beginning of the URL is one of the expressions OR'ed in the first parenthesis, followed by any charachters and then a dot, and the end of URL is one of the expressions in the last parenthesis, the browser is redirected to /index.php

If this is correct, I'm even more puzzled. Because the URL in the iframe shouldn't be redirected then since it's path is not in the first parenthesis.. or am I misunderstanding completely?

Hi Tobias

Why of course, didn't see that because of the line wrapping :-)

So that means that the /snakeMenu directory should be included in the ignored paths, right?

Thanks :-)

I find it easiest to add a rewrite rule before that ezpub one.

So you would end up with something like:

RewriteRule /snakeMenu/snakeMenu.html %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/snakeMenu/snakeMenu.html [L]
RewriteRule !(^/design|^/var/.*/storage|^/var/storage|^/var/.*/cache|^/var/cache|^/extension/.*/design|^/kernel/setup/packages).*\.(gif|css|jpg|png|jar|js|ico|pdf|swf)$ /index.php

The [L] at the end of the first rule says "Don't process any more rules".

The first rule allows requests for the /snakeMenu/snakeMenu.html file to be returned without being passed to ez Publish (index.php). It's basically a pass through rule.

This method allows you to add "pass through" rules without making changes to the standard eZ Publish rule.

I should have added that [L] at the end of the first rules says "if this rule matches, don't process any more rules"
