Redirecting my old .html pages - El Forum - 06-14-2011
[eluser]maulik13[/eluser]
My old website was built in html and now I am replacing that with codeigniter website.
So my urls have changed as well. I want to redirect old urls with 301, but I am not sure about the implementation.
Old urls
http://example.com/html/porfolio-fineart.html
http://example.com/html/porfolio-animation.html
http://example.com/html/some-page.html
All my new urls are in CodeIgniter structure without .html extension
http://example.com/portfolio/fineart
How do you suggest I redirect my old pages to new ones?
Thanks.

As I understand, one option is to use routing to map my url such that some-page.html becomes the parameter for the function.
Any suggestion regarding this ?
edit:
Routing method worked. It was very simple actually.
$route['html/(:any)'] = "home/oldstuff/$1";

Also, you can set suffix at config file, so that your new uri still have .html extension.

Thanks for the tip. I am not sure if I will add suffix to my new pages.
