Can't seem to get ReDJ working was created by Alastair
Hi there,

Thanks for reading this post.

I'm having problems getting ReDJ 301 redirects to work in my joomla 3x site

I have installed it fine,

put in the old url put in the new url, but it doesn't seem to work.

Do I need to make any other setting changes, for example 'use url rewriting'.

If I need to do anything could you please let me know, but bear in mind that I am not a web developer, just someone struggling with techy talk.

Thanks

AL

Hi,
probably there's a problem with your redirection rule (rules are powerful but they require a little to master).

Can you post here how the rule is set?

Thanks,
Luigi

Hi Luigi, Thanks for the quick reply.

These are my settings.

htaccess.txt to .htaccess
web.config.txt to web.cofig

url redirect on

/index.php/treatment-areas/all-hypnotherapy-treatment-areas?id=126
to
/index.php/component/content/article?id=299
request only selected
case sensitive not selected
decode url not selected
301 redirect

www.righttracktherapy.co.uk/index.php/treatment-areas/all-hypnotherapy-treatment-areas?id=212
to
www.righttracktherapy.co.uk/index.php/component/content/article?id=306
request only not selected
case sensitive selected
decode url selected
301 redirect
here is a screen shot of the redirects. Please let me know if you can't see them.




These are just two examples

Thank you Luigi

AL

...by the way, I know the rules for items 3 and four are correct, I just wanted to get the first two up and running before I set about the others. I have about 200 pages that I want to redirect from one old website to the new one, and as these are all indexed in google, I need to redirect them.

Thanks

Hi,
rules are not working (hits counter is still zero) because the From URL is a regular expression, so you must escape special chars like ? and .

Try these (literally, I use macros in the destination to increase portability):
From URL: ^/index\.php/treatment-areas/all-hypnotherapy-treatment-areas\?id=126$
To URL: {scheme}://{siteurl}/index.php/component/content/article?id=299
Request only: true (checked)
From URL: ^/index\.php/treatment-areas/all-hypnotherapy-treatment-areas\?id=212$
To URL: {scheme}://{siteurl}/index.php/component/content/article?id=306
Request only: true (checked)

Kind regards,
Luigi
