XF 1.3 Redirects after phpBB 2.x to XF 1.3 import

[a.tushkanov]

Is it possible to set redirects from
http://forum.blabla.ru/viewforum/f/38/
to
http://forum.blabla.ru/f/main-forum.38/
for nodes

and from
http://forum.blabla.ru/viewtopic/t/164833/
to
http://forum.blabla.ru/t/topic-name.164833/
for threads...

and from
http://forum.blabla.ru/viewtopic/p/924270/#924270
to
http://forum.blabla.ru/t/some-topic-name.924270/#924270
as post

and from
http://forum.blabla.ru/viewtopic/t/3214/start/15/
to
http://forum.blabla.ru/t/thread-name.3214/page-2
for paging...

I believe it must be set in .htaccess, but need help with that please

This resource may be of some help: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/redirection-script-for-phpbb-3-0-x-without-seo-urls.2326/

I'm not sure if there is a difference from phpBB 2 to 3, but you should be able to adapt that anyway.

It's not i think as needed. Cause ex. are:
"/viewforum.php?f=X" should now redirect to "/index.php/forums/X/" and
"/viewtopic.php?t=X" should now redirect to "/index.php/threads/X/" and
"/viewtopic.php?p=X" should now redirect to "/index.php/posts/X/".

But we need to have node and thread name in url... not just id's

He is using url's without .html or .php extension, closely similar to XenForo has.
Maybe @Jake Bunce and @Mike can add some more suggestion.

@RoldanLT really hope they will

Add these rules to the top of the .htaccess file in your web root:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^viewforum/f/([0-9]+)/$ /f/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^viewtopic/t/([0-9]+)/$ /t/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^viewtopic/p/([0-9]+)/$ /p/$1/ [R=301,L] #this one uses XF's "posts" route for the post_id, which I'm assuming you have changed to /p

and from
http://forum.blabla.ru/viewtopic/t/3214/start/15/
to
http://forum.blabla.ru/t/thread-name.3214/page-2
for paging...

This one cannot be done with rewrite rules. A custom script is required to convert the page numbers.

The addon works, but the path still is not right.
Rewrite rule

RewriteRule ^(viewforum|viewtopic)\.php phpbb.php [NC,L]

This is the old path and new redirect path from phpbb:

www.domain.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=7109

And I need a redirect to this:

www.domain.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=7109

Can anybody help me please?

Those are both phpBB URLs. Do you need to redirect both to XF? What is the new XF URL for each link?

Yes, but the addon redirect the phpbb URLs to the right XF URLs. I need only the path without "forums".

Or I remove the addon and we make a redirect to the XF URL?
The right XF URL was

www.domain.com/threads/7109/

@Sentenza

Add these rules to the top of the .htaccess file in your web root:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^forums/(viewtopic\.php)$ /$1 [R=301,L]

That will remove the "forums" part at which point your addon should kick in.

With post redirect, from (phpbb2): http://forum.blabla.ru/viewtopic/p/924270/#924270
It redirected to (xenforo) http://forum.blabla.ru/p/924270/#924270 (which is 404 page)
Should be http://forum.blabla.ru/t/thread-name-here.924270/#post-924270

Any suggestion @Jake Bunce ?
Thanks !

The postid must use the posts route in XF (which then redirects to the appropriate page and anchor like you want). What is your posts route? You renamed your other routes so I assumed posts was p. If you didn't change the posts route then use this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^viewforum/f/([0-9]+)/$ /f/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^viewtopic/t/([0-9]+)/$ /t/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^viewtopic/p/([0-9]+)/$ /posts/$1/ [R=301,L]
