How can I pass a variable to a page with a SEF url?

by

I’m making a website for a small church. They would like to upload sermons to their site. I’ve looked for a WP plugin to do that, but none of them did exactly what they wanted. So, I’m making a plugin to do what they want.

I’ve made a page called ‘sermons’ that has a page template ‘sermon archive’. That file will display the sermon archive. I’d like to have it so when they click on a sermon, it would go to sermon/my-sermon-name (rather than sermon?name=my-sermon-name). Is there a way to do that in WordPress?

Thanks!

You have to either work it out with the WP_Rewrite class or add this to the .htaccess file

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^sermon/(.*)/ /sermon?name=$1 [L]

UPDATE

Forgot to mention that the htaccess code is supposed to be above the wordpress generated htaccess code
