XF 1.5 Redirect to pages doesnt work

[duterte]

How can I make redirect to thread and category pages(page 2 and up) work?
Heres my code:
RewriteRule ^showthread.php/([0-9]+)-([^\.]+)/page([0-9]+)$ http://www.domain.com/xenforo/threads/$2\.$1/page-$3/ [L,R=301,NC]

RewriteRule ^forumdisplay.php/([0-9]+)-([^\.]+)/page([0-9]+)$ http://www.domain.com/xenforo/forums/$2\.$1/page-$3/ [L,R=301,NC]

What problem are you having?

 

[duterte]

The destination to Xenforo thread pages wont work if it has trailing slash in the end..
I need trailing slash at the end of thread pages.. page 2 and up

The XenForo link to page 2+ doesn't have a trailing slash. You need to take that out of your destination URL.

 

[duterte]

Is it possible to make the page 2 + work with slash?

 

[Mike]

You might be able to do it with a route prefix. Why is it significant to your usage?

 

[duterte]

Do you think adding slash to page 2+ will make better seo impact?

 

[Mike]

No, I don't believe a trailing slash is going to make any difference.

Another thing,

I have a sub forum links that I need to rewrite. The equivalent to it to xenforo is the index page with anchor link:
FROM
forumdisplay.php/8-category
TO
/xenforo/#category.8

It doesnt work because it redirects to:
xenforo/forums/category.8

Maybe because its affected by this redirect:
RewriteRule ^forumdisplay.php/([0-9]+)-([^\.]+)/page([0-9]+)$ http://www.domain.com/xenforo/forums/$2\.$1/page-$3/ [L,R=301,NC]

How can I make certain forum categories from vbulletin redirect to the assigned anchorlink?

In this case, you should write rules to redirect specific URLs to special locations. You can use the "Redirect" directive here rather than a rewrite.
