Changing Friendly URL

[hmikko]

Hello,

I would like to make all my forum topic URLs from http://forum.example.com/topic/123-hellow-world/ to http://forum.example.com/teema/123-hello-world/ but don't want to frighten Google so would like to redirect 301 those to a new URL. I have searched from Google the right htaccess code but non of them work.

Can somebody help me out?

Add to your htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
//301 Redirect Old File
redirect 301 /topic/123-hellow-world/ /teema/123-hello-world/
</IfModule>

Sorry, I've been misunderstood - I want to rewrite only /topic/ to /teema/, so Google links won't break until it indexes new URL.

Add this

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/topic/?$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://yoursait.com/teema/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

 

[hmikko]

I got "The page you requested does not exist" after going to /topic/

[Adlago]

Perhaps your link "http://yoursait..." you is not accurate

[Adlago]

 http://forum.example.com/topic/123-hellow-world/ to http://forum.example.com/teema/123-hello-world/

This is probably a sub domain link?
If so, it should save it

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/forum/topic/?$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://example.com/forum/teema/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

AdminCP → Settings → Advanced Configuration → Friendly URLs. Change what you need.

? it's getting a bit funny already. Now it's Oh my heavens!.

Lets start all over.

1. Right now all my topic URLs are like http://forum.example.com/topic/123-hello-world/ 

2. I (already) CHANGED Friendly URLs to show topics like http://forum.example.com/teema/123-hello-world/

3. Now Google can't find my topics because the URL has changed. So I wanted to redirect old URLs to new when somebody clicks it in search engine. With code 301.

Am I the only one who understands? ? Can't explain it any other way.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/topic/$
    RewriteRule ^.*$ /teema/? [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

123-hello-world/   whether folder?

forum.example.com whether subdomains?

 

[Adlago]

Hello, but if, for example, I would change topic with the name of the section?

It has been tested and works.
Enter the name of the your folder.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/old_folder/?$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://yoursait.com/new_folder/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

This is correct? I have the forum in the forum folder.

Thanks

Write your old and your new link to your answer.

[Max_69]

Write your old and your new link to your answer.

Maybe we have not understood ... I want the word topic is changed to the name of the section and for the entire board

[VDAR]

Max I have replied on invisionita,

if you would topic link as:

http://localhost/ips4/index.php?/a-test-forum/t/1-welcome/

you must make a edit on function url() of file applications\forums\sources\Topic\Topic.php

find:

$this->_url[ $_key ] = \IPS\Http\Url::internal( "app=forums&module=forums&controller=topic&id={$this->tid}", 'front', 'forums_topic', array( $this->title_seo ) );

replace with:

$this->_url[ $_key ] = \IPS\Http\Url::internal( "app=forums&module=forums&controller=topic&id={$this->tid}&forum_name={$this->container()->name_seo}", 'front', 'forums_topic', array( $this->title_seo ) );

after configure furl from admin side:

{@forum_name} is variable that include the name of section/forum container/parent...
 
this is not very good... because some topics couldn't show the name of section/forum that contain them...
pay many attention please.

Where can I find the variables?

What do you mean with:
