Redirect URL - Remove Date was created by joktanh

Hello Luigi,
I would like to redirect

blog/xxx/yy/zz/alias/

to:

blog/alias.html

where "/xxx/yy/zz/" represents the date "/year/month/day/"

- xxxx: any four numbers that represents the year
- yy: any 2 numbers that represent the month
- zz: any 2 days that represent the day

I just bought the ReDJ Enterprise version.

Can you please help me.

Thank you very much and have a great day.

I forgot to specify that alias can be any string that could be in the alias field in joomla.

Assuming that /blog/alias.html exists, try this rule:

From URL: ^/blog/[0-9]+/[0-9]+/[0-9]+/
To URL: {scheme}://{siteurl}/{preg_match 1}/\/blog\/[0-9]+\/[0-9]+\/[0-9]+\/([^\/]+)/{/preg_match}.html
Request only: true (checked)

Best regards,
Luigi

Hello Luigi,
Thank you for your quick reply!

I tried your code but unfortunately it doesn't work and I still get a 404 error.

Here are some examples:
from: blog/2015/04/30/top-2-womens-self-defense-questions-receive/
(current website: safeinternational.biz/blog/2015/04/30/top-2-womens-self-defense-questions-receive/ )
to: blog/top-2-womens-self-defense-questions-receive.html
(new temp website: www.ihotweb.com/safeinternational/blog/top-2-womens-self-defense-questions-receive.html)

- from: blog/2015/05/05/self-defense-pranks-go-far/
(current website: safeinternational.biz/blog/2015/05/05/self-defense-pranks-go-far/ )
- to: blog/self-defense-pranks-go-far.html
(new temp website: www.ihotweb.com/safeinternational/blog/self-defense-pranks-go-far.html)

You can test it here www.ihotweb.com/safeinternational/ which will become safeinternational.biz/ soon.

Please note that I am using EasyBlog for the blog.

Thank you very much for your help and have a great day.

Hi,
if I call:

safeinternational.biz/blog/2015/04/30/top-2-womens-self-defense-questions-receive/

It is not redirected while it should match the rule, but it seems you are currently testing on:

www.ihotweb.com/safeinternational/

The problem is the initial caret ? in the rule (means "start with"), as is the URL:

www.ihotweb.com/safeinternational/blog/2015/04/30/top-2-womens-self-defense-questions-receive/

Doesn't match. You should drop the caret, but a better solution to make rules "portable" is to add a base path in the ReDJ plugin. Under tab "Advanced settings" add this in the base path field:

/safeinternational

You must drop this once the site will be moved on root.

Kind regards,
Luigi

Hello Luigi,
It still doesn't work:(

I removed the caret as suggested from the "From URL". Thus my From URL now is: /blog/[0-9]+/[0-9]+/[0-9]+/

When I try
www.ihotweb.com/safeinternational/blog/2015/04/30/top-2-womens-self-defense-questions-receive/

I get

www.ihotweb.com/safeinternational/%7Bpreg_match%201%7D///blog//[0-9]+//[0-9]+//[0-9]+//([%5E//]+)/%7B/preg_match%7D.html

The URL should be:
www.ihotweb.com/safeinternational/blog/top-2-womens-self-defense-questions-receive.html

Is there anything else that I need to update?

Thank you very much!
