redirect complicated url was created by darkhoros
Hi,
I have a url like this
www.domain.com/24/29/property_for_SALE/Uptown%20Cairo

which I like to maintain same url but redirect to this URL

www.domain.com/index.php/component/joomd/real-estate-egypt/search-results.html?cats[0]=22&cats[1]=24&field_29=Sale&field_33[0]=Uptown%20Cairo

Notice that 24/29/ are cats[0]=22&cats[1]=24
and property_for_Sale is field_29=Sale
and Uptown%20Cairo is field_33[0]=Uptown%20Cairo

How can I do this.
Thank you.

Hi,
Trying to do this using .htaccess file
I used this lines in the .htaccess file

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} similar [NC]
RewriteRule ^similar/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/property_for_([^/]+)/compound_([^/]+)$ /component/joomd/real-estate-egypt/search-results.html?cats[0]=$1&cats[1]=$2&field_29=$3&field_33[0]=$4 [R,NE]

which redirects the 1st URL to the 2nd:
www.myegyptrealestate.com/similar/22/25/property_for_rent/compound_lake%20view
www.myegyptrealestate.com/index.php/component/joomd/real-estate-egypt/search-results.html?cats[0]=22&cats[1]=25&field_29=rent&field_33[0]=lake view

My question now is, can redj do this?

Thank you for your time.
Regards.

Yes, it seems it can be done. But is not clear to me i you need this complex rule for a single URL or (as I guess) for a group of URLs with the same structure...

Hi,
Well I was unable to figure out how to get the 4 variables from the flat link and use to create the dynamic link, I hope you can help me in this.

I am sure you are very good with .htaccess files, so you will have a very good idea of what I am trying to do.
Thank you.
