New Website: redirect old urls to new MVC system ? - El Forum - 05-06-2009
[eluser]yannyannyann[/eluser]
Hi,
I am redesigning / developing a website.
Because it has been online for a long time, and has good traffic, the URLs are probably stored by google and by users in their bookmarks.
That's why I need to redirect those URLs to my new scheme.
How could I do that ?
Here are some examples:
Code:
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=category§ionid=9&id=21&Itemid=55
to redirect to http://www.mysite.com/highlights
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=164&Itemid=55
to redirect to http://www.mysite.com/highlights/page/2009-05-05-my-news-title
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_facileforms&Itemid=76
to redirect to http://www.mysite.com/contact...

It seems that you need to manually 301 redirect the links
Code:
redirect 301 /projects.html http://yourdomain.org/about/projects
redirect 301 /experience.html http://yourdomain.org/about/experiencesomething like the one above that I used on my site.
This should be on the .htaccess file.
Code:
redirect 301 /index.php?option=com_facileforms&Itemid=76 http://www.mysite.com/contactNew Website: redirect old urls to new MVC system ? - El Forum - 05-06-2009

Ok thanks.
Why is it called redirect 301 ?
... I mean why not Redirect Rule ?

The 301 is the HTTP status code, it means that resource has permanently moved

Well, I'm just used to saying redirect 301 to distinquish a permanent redirect. there's a 302 which is temporary.

Just a last thing though,
Could I write this ?
Code:
redirect 301 /index.php?option=com_facileforms&Itemid=76 /contactinstead of this :
Code:
redirect 301 /index.php?option=com_facileforms&Itemid=76 http://www.myfullurl.com/contactNew Website: redirect old urls to new MVC system ? - El Forum - 05-06-2009

I have absolutely no idea but when I tested in on my site, that didn't work.

I would assume you need the full URL, as this is often used when you change domain names, instead of redirecting within the same site
