XF 1.5 Shortcut To A Particular Forum (Route Filter?)

[LT Jennifer]

I'd like to provide shortcuts to each subforum; for example, when someone surfs www.alemontree.eu/askjenny they should go directly to http://www.alemontree.eu/forum/forums/ask-aunt-jenny.19/ .

I think this means I need a route filter but I can't quite figure it out. What exactly do I enter? In particular, which is the "Find Route:" and which is the "Replace With:"?

In your URL /forum is a directory and /forums is a route. A route filter can only go so far as the route portion of the URL. So what you are asking for is not possible with the route filter system.

You can setup a redirect with custom rewrite rules such that any visitors to http://www.alemontree.eu/askjenny would be automatically redirected to the real URL... meaning the address bar would then change to http://www.alemontree.eu/forum/forums/ask-aunt-jenny.19/
