Possible to redirect a redirect? was created by mikebrogan
Hi,
I used redj to successfully redirect a bunch of URLs a few months ago. Now the client is interested in moving some content around which will cause this content to have a new url structure. Ideally I'd like either the original url and the current url to redirect to the new url. Is that possible with redj? I attempted but it seemed like the original redirect was the one that took precedence.

Hi,
you should provide me an example of original, current and new URL. I need to understand how to build the rules and to avoid loops.

Best regards,
Luigi

Thanks for the quick response. Here is an example.

original redirect:
/news-room/heads-up/75-heads-up-blog-item/248-building-changes-expands-reach-with-1m-federal-grant

to

domainname.org/current-issues/building-changes-announcements/item/248-building-changes-expands-reach-with-$1m-federal-grant

new redirect:
/current-issues/building-changes-announcements/item/248-building-changes-expands-reach-with-$1m-federal-grant

to

domainname.org/support

The new redirect is an example as I don't know what the final url will be. I've tried switching the publishing order around with no luck.

Ok,
so I guess you should have a rule for the first redirect like the following:
From URL: ^/news-room/heads-up/75-heads-up-blog-item/
To URL: http://{siteurl}/current-issues/building-changes-announcements/item/{pathltrim /news-room/heads-up/75-heads-up-blog-item/}

Now you need an rule like following:
From URL: ^/current-issues/building-changes-announcements/item/
To URL: http://{siteurl}/support

Try and let me know.

Kind regards,
Luigi

Thanks for the help, getting a lot closer!

So that redirect worked. Seems like it will redirect anything starting with /current-issues/building-changes-announcements/item/ to http://{siteurl}/support, right? What about my other items that start with /current-issues/building-changes-announcements/item/?

Should have added, these other items will go to places other than /support. Actually, now that I think about it, the end of the url will more than likely stay the same. My example was poor. An example of a new redirect will probably be more like:

from:
/current-issues/building-changes-announcements/item/248-building-changes-expands-reach-with-$1m-federal-grant

to:

/blog/news/item/248-building-changes-expands-reach-with-$1m-federal-grant
