Hello
we are using REDJ 1.72 community on J 3.1.5
We came across a very strange issue

step one: we create a menu item pointing to an article

example: www.mysite.it/supporto.html
-> it opens the correct article

step two: we create a redirect by REDJ
example: www.mysite.it/suppo
-> pointing to www.anothersite.it

it works correctly

but now, even www.mysite.it/supporto.html points to www.anothersite.it!

It looks like the shorter path "catches" the longest one. When the initial part is the same, you get the error.

I hope to be clear, try to reproduce it on a test Joomla installation if needed.

Thanks + regards

AO :(

Additional info:
removing or unpublishing the redirect solves the problem, so the issue seems really related to some REDJ feature.
Thanks,

Hi,
is not strange to me because a rule can match the whole URL or a part of it. And the rule can also be a regula expression. So to avoid your problem just add a dollar sign at the end of the rule (it means "end with") and the rule will stop to match the second URL.

Kind regards,
Luigi

Hello, thanks for the explanation, problem is solved.
Did I miss something?
Was this feature reported somewhere? Sorry in this case.

There' a quick guide here:

www.selfget.com/downloads/file/6-redj-quickguide-j15.html

Is for Joomla 15 but is still valid. We are also updating online documentation, so you will find examples and more on this site.

Kind regards,
Luigi
