Please explain creating a rule was created by veganvixen
Hi,

I have read the documentation, but I am totally confused. :( Would you be so kind as to show me exactly how to create a rule? I don't understand how to set the characters in the urls as per your instructions.

For example, how would I set the following:

FROM URL: www.mysite.com/links/23-art

TO URL: www.mysite.com

Would this be correct:

From URL: ^/http://www.mysite.com/links/23-art
To URL: http://{www.mysite.com}/

Help is greatly appreciated. :)

Hi,
the rule should be:
From URL: ^/links/23-art$
To URL: {scheme}://{siteurl}/
Request only: true (checked)

Kind regards

Hi and thank you so much for responding!

So the TO URL requires no customization? Maybe the component reads the site url???

The plugin (not the component) compares each URL requested with ReDJ rules (created with the component). The comparison is made with a single optimized SQL query. If one or more rules match, the first one (lowest ordering) will be applied. The From URL part can be just a part of the URL and can be a regular expression. The target URL must declare a full URL, but can include macros, (like {scheme}), which will be calculated and replaced just before to make the redirect. That's all.

Hi,

Thanks for trying to explain, but I did not understand that at all. :blush:

I just want to know how to exactly create the From and To rule.

You said this is what I should put for the TO rule? I do not need to edit the siteurl?

To URL: {scheme}://{siteurl}/

You have to copy "exactly" the rule as I wrote, don't need to change or edit anything. So, copy & paste my rule and it will work.
