I have created a custom redirect 301:

Moved from URL: ext/test_link
Moved to URL: www.realrealms.com/

When I call:

www.testhost.com/ext/test_link

It generates the url:

www.testhost.com/http://www.realrealms.com/

Is there any way to make it accept just the URL I have inserted? I would like to use the 301 or any other redirect system and thus remove all .htaccess redirects of this kind.

Hello,

the current 301 redirect functionality in JoomSEF only work within the Joomla site! So you e.g. cannot redirect to different domain or site. (which what you were trying to do) JoomSEF 301 redirects are ment for use, when you e.g. change one component for another or redo structure of your SEO URLs in Joomla.

For such purposes as you need, i.e. redirection from one site to another, you will still need to use .htaccess file directly and define the redirect there.

We plan to add .htaccess file editing possibility to JoomSEF, including specifying 301 redirects with no limitations, but that one is still on TODO list.
