XF 1.2 SMF redirect to xF

[Skylined]

Could somebody please help me to redirect from SMF to xF?

Sample

SMF - http://www.mtb.com.uy/foro/index.php?topic=5234.0
xF - http://www.mtb.com.uy/foro/temas/asiento-antiprostatico-%C2%BFes-necesario.5234/

Temas is spanish for threads.

 

[Jeremy]

RewriteRule ^index.php\?topic=([\d])*(.)*$ temas/$1 [R=301,L]

Try that.

 

[Jake Bunce]

Add to the top of the .htaccess file in the /foro directory:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|\?)topic=([0-9]+)\.
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /foro/temas/%2/? [R=301,L]

Thank you @Jake Bunce, it worked!

There's one more that needs to be converted.
It's the same as above but with .html at the end.

Amendment to previous rules to include the new URL:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|\?)topic=([0-9]+)\.
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /foro/temas/%2/? [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^index\.php/topic,([0-9]+)\. /foro/temas/$1/ [R=301,L]

 

[Skylined]

Thanks!

I'll keep an eye on Google's Webmaster Tools to see if there's anything else that has to be fixed.

Found some more, this ones are linked to a specific post in a thread.

From

http://www.mtb.com.uy/foro/index.php/topic,2354.msg29258.html

To

http://www.mtb.com.uy/foro/temas/resultados-de-%E2%80%9Cgran-premio-orestes-carballo%E2%80%9D.2354/#post-29258

 

[Jeremy]

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|\?)topic=([0-9]+)\.
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /foro/temas/%2/? [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^index\.php/topic,([0-9]+)\. /foro/temas/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php/topic,([0-9]+)\.msg([0-9]+)\. /foro/posts/$2/ [R=301,L]

Amend with that and it should work.

 

[Skylined]

Thanks Jeremy.

That took me to the thread, but not straight to the message.

 

[Jeremy]

That should have taken you directly to the message as well. What was the final ending URL from that redirect?

 

[Skylined]

I ended up here.

http://www.mtb.com.uy/foro/temas/resultados-de-%E2%80%9Cgran-premio-orestes-carballo%E2%80%9D.2354/

 

[Mike]

RewriteRule ^index\.php/topic,([0-9]+)\. /foro/temas/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php/topic,([0-9]+)\.msg([0-9]+)\. /foro/posts/$2/ [R=301,L]

Flip the order around -- the "msg" one needs to go first as the general thread one matches both.

 

[Skylined]

That worked!

Thanks @Mike and @Jeremy!

Uruguay is moving from second level domains to first level domains (.com.uy to just .uy).


I would like to change two things:

1. Move from mtb.com.uy to just mtb.uy
2. Move my forum from mtb.uy/foro to the root of mtb.uy

Could you guys please help me with this redirection?

 

[Jake Bunce]

@Skylined

That is all doable with one exception. When you move from /foro to / that will cause your current "foro" route to interfere with any redirects that we setup for the old /foro directory. Ideally you will need to change the name of your "foro" route to something else after the move, otherwise you won't be able to redirect traffic from /foro to /.

 

[Skylined]

Thanks @Jake Bunce.

So what would I have to do if I name the route as "foros"?

Move the XF files to your web root and update this setting:

Admin CP -> Home -> Options -> Basic Board Information -> Board URL

Delete the old /foro directory.

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

RewriteEngine On

# enforce new domain, mtb.uy
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mtb\.uy$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mtb.uy/$1 [R=301,L]

# redirect old /foro directory to web root
RewriteRule ^foro/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
