XF 2.0 IPS to Xenforo Links redirect

[lollo90]

Hi guys! Few days ago I moved my forum from IPS 4.3.6 to Xenforo 2. Me and my users are loving it!
I would like to know if you provide an .htaccess file that redirect all IPS (friendly) URLs to Xenforo ones. I know that IPS do that for people that comes from Xenforo but here I didn't see anything. I've tryed the one for IPS 3.x.x but it doesen't work for me.
I think that search engines will index my new links within the next days (thanks to the sitemap) but it's really frustrating have all my internal links in threads corrupted!

Thank you in advance

First of all, well done on the conversion. The only issue I had was there was no attach miport from the PM system, threads were OK just the PM's were not. Unsure if this was intended or not but not relevant to your question.

Regarding links:

https://xenforo.com/community/resources/redirection-scripts-for-invision-forums-3-x.5948/ , it is listed for 3 I have not tried its effects on 4. I am assuming this was the one you were mentioning ?

You could use this to sort internal links out https://xenforo.com/community/resources/post-content-find-replace.5748/ , please take a backup of the database before using it so you are sure what is going to happen or if possible try it on a test site first.

As mentioned with this tool it would be worthwhile looking at the thread a bit for the XF1 vesrion of it to see how some common 'from / to' tasks are done if needed. Simply as there is more information in the thread for the XF1 version. The one I linked to is the XF2 version, but you will see this note in the description area anyway.

Thank you @spider
That's right, the first plugin seems to be obsolete for IPS 4.x.x.
For the second one is pretty hard to convert them. Some numbers and character were not in the link in IPS but in Xenforo. I'll give it a try and post my results. hank you very much for the reply

in case you can try "post content find replace" to convert internal link:

p.s. sei italiano?

I've seen that plugin but the links seems pretty different, for example in the old forum some characters were ignored and words shorter than 3 letters were ignored too.
BTW I'm italian too

No, seems too complex to adapt them...
