Greetings,

I just finished a redesign of a Joomla site that has been using sh404SEF for quite a while https://www.xxxx.com. It's a big site. 1,100 pages or so.

In reorganizing the content I have also simplified the urls. Here is an example.

Old: plan-your-trip/tourism-directory/lodging/campgrounds-camping-resorts/prophetstown-state-park.html
New: lodging/campgrounds-camping-resorts/prophetstown-state-park.html

Basically the logic for this branch of the K2 category tree is remove "plan-your-trip/tourism-directory/" and you'll have the new url.

Problem: I have over 1000 pages that I would like to create a redirect. Is there an automated way to create these redirects in sh404SEF?

What would you suggest?

Thanks
Jack

Hi

Sorry no, there is no automated way inside sh404SEF at the moment. We have started development of a Joomla extension that will handle that sort of things, but it's a few months away I am afraid.

If you can find some patterns such as the one you describe above:

to-remove-1/to-remove-2/url/to/preserve

with a limited/defined number of strings to remove, then this looks well suited to adding a few rules in your .htaccess file. This is of course a specialized work and you will need to handle it yourself, or hire someone to do it for you, but it's going to be the most efficient way to handle that.
