Multiple URL’s created by ID numbers (Joomla 3) was created by Berry
Hi,

How do I prevent articles from being accessed from multiple menus?
Example:

www.mysite.com/red-socks/9-size-large (ID number being 9)
Being accessed from:
www.mysite.com/black-socks/9-size-large
www.mysite.com/white-socks/9-size-large

Is it possible to isolate the ID number 9 and redirect it to the original URL only?

Have tried a simple redirect such as:
From URL: /9
To URL: www.mysite.com/red-socks/9-size-large
But creates a loop.

Regards, Dave

Hi Dave,
I think a good solutions is to use the canonical link instead of the redirect. In this case you could use Tag Meta and build a single rule with dynamic canonical (using macros).

If you want to continue with redirections, fix the rule as follow:
From URL: /9-size-large
To URL: http://{siteurl}/red-socks/9-size-large
Skip condition: /red-socks/9-size-large

That's all.

Kind regards,
Luigi

Hi Luigi,

Is the Skip condition available only on the Enterprise for Joomla 3.0, can not see it on Community for Joomla 3.0

Hi Luigi,

I have updated to 1.7.4

Tried:

From URL: /14-size-large
To URL: http://{siteurl}/red-socks/14-size-large
Skip condition: /red-socks/14-size-large

Works ok, but also Re-directs article number 147 to http://{siteurl}/red-socks/14-size-large

Any help would be great.

Regards, Dave

Sorry , forget the above...
Tried:

From URL: /14
To URL: mysite.com/red-socks/14-size-large
Skip condition: /red-socks/14-size-large

Works ok, but also Re-directs article number 147 to mysite.com/red-socks/14-size-large
And any ID number with 14 in it.

Your suggestion worked ok but the article was still accesses from:

http://my site.com/white-socks/14
Without the -size-large
