I am completely rewriting a website that had thousands of pages on it. It was a Yahoo store, and every product was generated as it's own HTML page.
I have turned on logging in CI and I see quite a few 404 error messages. Since there was a naming pattern in the URL of the old pages I can write business rules in PHP as to how to redirect these pages to the correct new location, or to a search page.
Has anybody had to do this before? Is there a best practice or some sample code someplace? I'd like to avoid creating several thousand 301 redirect entries if possible.
Thanks in advance for your help.
