sorry for the cryptic subj. title..

here's my question..

I am porting to J1.5..

now on my old site all my articles etc. are listed :

mysite.com/reallyinterestingarticle.html


that's fine..

on my new site I'd like to add the category to the url


mysite.com/categoryfullofsuperstuff/reallyinterestingarticle.html


now there are links on many sites that point to my articles.. and if I change the url... those links will just point to a 404..?

Can Joomsef guess? i mean since it's the same article title, then it's just a matter of automatically creating a rewrite?

I have no insight into JoomSEF and how it works.. but this feature would be great.. even better if it already exists!

does it?

Hello Martin,

I am sorry, but this does feature does not exist in JoomSEF. And probably it will not, as migration from 1.0 to 1.5 is one-shot event only.
However, what you can do is to have the URLs created in the old-way and then adjust them to the new URL and letting JoomSEF store the change as 301 redirect.

Hi jan.

oh dear... ok, thank you for answering..
can you give me a little more...instructions in the 301 part...
this is not something I've used before..

is ther a guide or something?

Hello,

sure there are many.
I would recommend checking the source
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect

In JoomSEF, just use 301 redirection table in control panel, where you specify old and new URL. In JoomSEF, tris works only on the same domain (within Joomla site).
