Using mod_rewrite on WordPress urls

    This is related to my question about url rewriting on Zeus web server. I am trying to get the mod_rewrite code working on Apache first.

    I am using the Events Manager plugin. It generates urls like /event-detail/?event_id=180. I hacked the plugin code to generate a nice url like /spokes-duathlon-ei180

    In my .htaccess file I have: 
    RewriteRule ^.*-ei(\d+)$ /event-detail/?event_id=$1
    but it doesn't appear to be working, I just get a 404 error (trapped by WordPress).
    I don't want to use a redirection plugin because it will expose the "ugly" url. When people "Like" the ugly url it is displayed as /event-detail, without the query_string.

    Tomorrow I will look at using WordPress' internal rewrite code.

    Anyone doing non-standard mod_rewrite stuff like this for WordPress?
