How to match part of url and replace rest of was created by originmad
Hi,

I'm having problem with google that indexes main category pages which dont have menu aliases.

Here is the example situation.

example.com/component/content/category/119-service

i want to redirect this url to single article menu alias like : www.example.com/service

I can do this with exact match

From url : ^/component/content/category/119-service
To url: http://{siteurl}/service{pathltrim /component/content/category/119-service}

But problem is if user type anything different after id(119) it still opens old page (not redirecting).

for example example.com/component/content/category/119-xyza

i want to redirect all possible entry to specific page(example.com/service) after id part but couldnt handle it with regex or anything else.

If you can help i will be glad.

Thank you

Hi,
because 119 is the unique identifier of the service, try a rule as follow:
From URL: ^/component/content/category/119-
To URL: {scheme}://{siteurl}/service{queryfull}
Request only: true (checked)

Note that this rule will not work for a service that has nested levels like:

example.com/component/content/category/119-service/section
example.com/component/content/category/119-service/section/another-section

If this is the case, we need to change the rule using a pregmatch macro, to extract the "section" from the original request.

Sincerely,
Luigi
