Help with redirecting URL string was created by chrisp

Hello to all,

I'm trying to create a URL that will catch a number of URLs and redirect them to the new category I've created, but I'm having problems.. so I'm turning to the forums once again

Here is what I'm trying to do:

I'd like any url with the following string in it:

www.mysite.com/news/150-Hardware/

to redirect to

www.mysite.com/site-news/hardware-news/

Can someone be kind enough to provide an example?

Many thanks!

Chris.

Hi Chris,
if the destination is the same for all sources, try this rule:

From URL: ^/news/150-Hardware/
To URL: http://{siteurl}/site-news/hardware-news/
Request only: true (checked)

You can also create a dynamic destination for each source URL (e.g. if you just need to replace /news/150-Hardware/ and preserve all the rest).

Kind regards,
Luigi

Luigi, thanks so much for your quick reply.

Will this code:

From URL: ^/news/150-Hardware/
To URL: http://{siteurl}/hardware-news/
Request only: true (checked)

make sure that the following redirects work:

www.mysite.com/news/150-Hardware/333-hello.html
to
www.mysite.com/hardware-news/333-hello.html

Thank you.

Chris.

make sure that the following redirects work:

www.mysite.com/news/150-Hardware/333-hello.html
to
www.mysite.com/hardware-news/333-hello.html

To work in this way the rule must be modified:

From URL: ^/news/150-Hardware/
To URL: http://{siteurl}/site-news/hardware-news/{pathltrim /news/150-Hardware/}
Request only: true (checked)

Kind regards,
Luigi

Luigi,

I tried the above, but it doesn't seem to work.

There is no url redirection happening at all.

Here is what I've tried:

^/news/64-Hardware/

http://{siteurl}/hardware-news/{pathltrim /news/64-hardware/}

Request Only is checked.

Any suggestions?
