I'd like to take any URL where segment_1 == "supernav" and remove that segment. So this:
http://alpha.ced.berkeley.edu/supernav/gallery/
Would become this:
http://alpha.ced.berkeley.edu/gallery/
How can I do this?

1Are you trying to simply hide the segment from your template, or redirect users from one URL to another? – Adrian Macneil Dec 16 '12 at 0:37
I'd create a template group called supernav, and put this in its index template:
{redirect="{segment_2}/{segment_3}"}
(If there's no 3rd segment present, EE will ignore it.)

Tricky part is I'm using Structure, so templates are quite used the same way... – Brandon Durham Dec 17 '12 at 15:48
If you're not actually talking about doing a redirect (it's not quite clear from your question for me) then you may want to consider using Freebie for this:
http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/freebie
In the freebie extension settings you can set supernav to be ignored so, any time you hit http://alpha.ced.berkeley.edu/gallery/ you are really hitting http://alpha.ced.berkeley.edu/supernav/gallery/
And of course you would make sure in your hrefs that you removed supernav/.

I've tried Freebie and I can never seem to get it to work correctly. Not sure why. – Brandon Durham Dec 17 '12 at 15:44
Here are a couple mod_rewrite options to try in your .htaccess file to remove the "supernav" segment of your URL:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^supernav/gallery/$ /gallery [L]
or
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ supernav/$1 [L]
Worth taking a look at...
