help with sef - urls was created by andi
Hi,

I've changed my site using sh404sef to joomla - sef. Now I have lost all my urls found with google, because they have changed from for example:

www.mysite.com/18-pirelli/.....

to

www.mysite.com/forum/18-pirelli/.....

I have tried the following

FromUrl: ^/18-pirelli/
ToUrl: http://{siteurl}/forum/18-pirelli/

But it redirects me always to

www.mysite.com/forum

only?

I think I make a big mistake, but I dont know how to correct this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
andi

Solved!

I have added the following makro to the ToUrl:
http://{siteurl}/forum/18-pirelli{path}
Now it works fine for me! Thanks for this great component!

Hi luigi,

I am sorry, but now I have found another big problem with this redirection:
Thousands of google links to my forum are in this format (I have used sh404sef for 8 years)
http://www.mysite.com/18-pirelli/297-this-is-an-example.html

the correct new link is
http://www.mysite.com/forum/18-pirelli/297-this-is-an-example

Redirection works fine, if the thread-id generated by Kunena forum is the same as the first-post-id in this thread. Very old threads are correct. But over the years some threads have been moved, and now the thread-id is not the same as the first post-id. For example, if the first post has the id 452, redirection goes to
http://www.mysite.com/forum/18-pirelli/297-this-is-an-example#452

and moves to another thread, which is containing the post with id 452:
http://wwww.mysite.com/forum/2-anothercategory/3456-anotherthread-with-first-post-id-452

O my god....... my forum contains 70.000 postings, 16.000 members, and thousands of google-links are wrong......

Is there any possible solution for this problem? I would pay for it, if you could help.

Thanks in advance
andi

Hi Andi,
it is not so clear from your examples, but if there's a relation (even in a db table) between the old link and the new one, we can build a rule. So we have to find a way to pass from:
http://www.mysite.com/forum/18-pirelli/297-this-is-an-example#452

To:
http://wwww.mysite.com/forum/2-anothercategory/3456-anotherthread-with-first-post-id-452

Using the initial available keys:
18
pirelli
297
this-is-an-example

These are the initial variables we can count on. Consider that 452 is an anchor so is not available on the server side.

I can help you with this if you want, but you should open a project request under the client manager. Probably I need some partial dumps and so on, so is better to move on the private area.

Kind regards,
Luigi

Hi andi, seems to be a big forum that you have.

O my god.......

Apart from the ReDJ problem I think such an URL change (and other changes) should be planned a bit in advance! ;)

From my experience it is a very good way to have a copy of the whole website for testing purposes. This test site should not be reachable to the public, of course. Every technical change I do, I plan and try it at first with the test website. And if everything works fine, I do it on the live website.
