Hello.
I've just installed ReDJ on my joomla (oujevipo.fr) and it works perfectly fine. I've managed to redirect links one by one, but I don't know how to redirects groups of links.

In fact, I would like to redirect every "site/category/content-title" url type
(like this one : oujevipo.fr/10-minutes/bisected-essence-ii)

to "site/category/contentId/content-title" url type.
(like this one : oujevipo.fr/index.php/10-minutes/348-bisected-essence-ii)

It seems that it is something ReDJ can do. I think I have to use macro stuff, but I'm not sure to know what is a macro ^^. I've red the tutorial, but I'm not sure I understood well this part.

What am I supposed to write in the "from" and "to" url of the item?

Thank you for your answer, and for this great extension.

Hi and thanks for using ReDJ.

Yes, with macro you can build dynamic destinations, but in your case there's a little problem:



In your destination URL there's an information that is not present in the source URL, I mean the content id, 348. At the moment there are a lot of macro available that allow you to extract any part of the source URL to build the destination, but this is not your case.

There should be a new macro that allows you to search for the content id associated to the first occurrence of bisected-essence-ii alias. I'm thinking on this because your request is not the first one. But as I sayed before, it's a little bit more complicated because first I should allow you to extract the alias part from the source URL (bisected-essence-ii), then I should allow you to put this into the macro. So, in one word, I should support "nested macros", and this is exactly what I'm working on.

Best regards,
Luigi

Thanks for your quick reply. Too bad I'm still stuck with thus problem
I'll try to find another solution. If you've got some ideas I'm interested

But, seriously, thanks! I'll could be looking for a solution with ReDJ for hours!

Ok! I have another idea!
What if I disable the Joomla URL rewriting? Then the content id disapears.
(To be honest, I don't care anymore about being Search Engine Friendly, Google isn't my friend, it's my foe now)

Now, I just want to redirect the Site/category/content title type
(like this one : oujevipo.fr/10-minutes/bisected-essence-ii)

to the default one
(like this one oujevipo.fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=348:bisected-essence-ii&catid=36:10-minutes&Itemid=55 )

It this possible? How can I do ?

Well,
if I get your question right the answer is no:

Source URL: oujevipo.fr/10-minutes/bisected-essence-ii

Target URL: oujevipo.fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=348:bisected-essence-ii&catid=36:10-minutes&Itemid=55

Here the number of informations present only in the destionation and not in the source increase.

So,
just one step back. How I could help you? I mean, is not possible to find a way to adjust all your URLs. Could you please send me a detailed list of redirections you need (Source->Target). If you prefer, send me a PM at info(at)sistemistica.it.
