Full URL Redirection of Theme URL

    I think this is the right place for this question. I could not be so clear in the title but I will give you more details.

    Here is the thing. I developed a small framework and I would like to use its’ awesome URL Routing System in WordPress’ Theme I’m currently developing.

    But this URL Routing System is based upon clean URL’s like:

    /foo/bar/option/value

    But the WordPress’ Admin URLs, specifically in the Themes’ Page, as far as I know about WordPress is pre-established as admin.php?page=some-value

    Where some-value is what we defined in the fourth parameter of add_menu_page() function.

    I tried some trick in the .htaccess file to redirect the requests:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} wp-admin/sometext.*?
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ wp-content/themes/ThemeName/admin/index.php [NC]

    And it was a success, or at least I thought it was. I was able to access pages like:

    http://domain.com/blog/wp-admin/sometext/foo/bar

    And by analyzing the REQUEST URI received I got /foo/bar, and from this point my Framework is able to handle the Requests.

    But, as I said, it was not correctly, because I was REDIRECTING the request, and by doing this, even partially working, I could not have my code side by side the WordPress’ Admin Menu (or header, footer…)

    In fact, I couldn’t even access constants defined, because the request did not came through WordPress’ logical structure, and no require call were made.

    Is this kind of hack possible in any way?

    i may be far off but what about permalinks? wordpress default
    structure is variable, but you can turn permalinks on and get
    a folder-like structure as you are talking about.

    again, i may just be missing what you are asking…

    I don’t know if the permalinks affects the Admin Panel. Maybe yes, maybe not…

    Here, I will try to explain in a better way.

    When developing a theme (or plugin) you can use the function add_menu_page() to add another “division” for your own theme/plugin, instead of let it “lost” between all the others plugins or in the menu Appearance, for themes.

    The fourth parameter, called $menu_slug is the GET value for the page querystring. E.g.:

    $menu_slug is set to vendor-theme-settings and the URL is something like admin.php?page=vendor-theme-settings

    But, my URL Router System expects a slash-separated string, like vendor/theme/settings

    Of course, this URL Router is the Standard URL Router, I can easily create a WordPress Router, specifically for WordPress’ Theme/Plugins.

    But I would like to know if it’s possible some different trick to use the class I already have.
