Here?



https or http? My domain uses https.

So @http(s)://yourdomain\.com/search/[0-9]+/$@ on the left and /search/URL on the right or am I wrong?

Thanks

 

[Siropu]

Use the exact same URL as "Board URL" admin option.
On the right, use the full URL where you want to redirect. So if you want to redirect to search page https://yourdomain.com/search/

Urgent request: @Siropu

Is there any way we can change the default in 'Clear Log' from 'Delete all entries' to 'Delete entries without redirect' if only to save my sanity as I've cleared my redirects several times now accidentally

 

[Chromaniac]

Ah. This explains what happened with my redirects. I assumed it would just remove logs and not the redirects. But now that I look at this image, I get what happened.

 

[webbouk]

I've just had a look in the database and the redirects are saved in a table - the above is just for logs by all accounts..



Can @Siropu confirm that to be the case ?

 

[Siropu]

Redirects are saved in the same table as the logs.

 

[webbouk]

Does that mean if you Delete all 'log' entries it deletes redirects previously saved?

 

[Siropu]

Yes.

 

[Chromaniac]

this is sort of unrelated. i understand that this addon has a dedicated 404 template that is pretty easy to modify with content like a search box. i was wondering if it is possible to add a search box to xenforo's own 404 page. i tried adding it in the error template but it does not just cater to 404 pages and the search box ends up appearing at a lot more locations like when you click ip link on old posts.

XF doesn't have a 404 page template so you won't be able to do that.

I still can't get it to work on XF 2.2. I still get a regular native XF error page.

Is the template modification replacement supposed to look like this?

Yes.

I just have made a test on XF 2.2 RC 2 and it works fine for me.

 

[crazykgb]

Could there be any post-install steps I might have missed?

I even tried manual editing of the error template. Still cant get it to work.

 

[Siropu]

No steps required.
Does the template modification shows that it was applied successfully?

 

[crazykgb]

Does the template modification shows that it was applied successfully?

Yes, but is till end up on this page for wrong url's.



I uninstalled, deleted, re-uploaded, re-installed 1.1.6, and still can't get it to show up.

 

[Siropu]

That means it's working. That's the default page displayed by the add-on.

 

[crazykgb]

That means it's working. That's the default page displayed by the add-on.

Now I feel like an idiot. Thank you very much Sir.

Don't forget to update Compatible XF 2.x versions

I'm new to XF and regex.

I have recently moved from VB+VBSEO and trying to get rewrites to work without much luck.

I have this add-on installed and it's logging a lot of 404 errors, too many to manually update.

I have couple of questions I'm hoping someone can help me with.

1. how do I use the regex redirects?

My old VB urls look like this

https://www.mydomain.com/forums/threadname/1497-title.html

Based on the formula [^/]+/([\d]+)-.+.html showthread.php?t=$1 [NC]

I need it to translate to

https://www.mydomain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1497

(this seem to get directed to the correct thread in XF)

2. is there a way to add entries into 404 log to add urls that I want to redirect on permanent basis? (before they hit the site)
