Vanity URL help

webmas...@findlads.com (grotto) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 08:19:18 UT

I am trying to use UrlRewite to create vanity URL's - e.g., someone
types [link] and the members profile is
displayed with the above url rather than [link]

I can hard code this in the xml file but with 1000's of members I need
something that does this automatically.

I just had to add a slash at the beginning so it looks like:

And then it worked so it was very close. I don't why this fixed it -
just similar to what was there before - as I don't really know what
I'm doing with this stuff, anyway all good now.

Thanks again for your help on this,

IMO it is worth mentioning that it is possible to use regex replacements

Hi,
How about:
<from>^(.*/[^./]*)$</from>
This will match:
- anything ending in a slash (.*/)
- anything ending in a slash with a trailing section that doesn't
contain dots or slashes [^./]
- will unfortunately also redirect if you have something like
/blah/dot.gif/ because of the trailing slash
I'm not entirely sure whether it's correct on sunday afternoon but it

Thanks for your help.

I actually want to check if the last part contains a dot which would
make it a file and then not redirect.

If I understand what you want it seems like:

<rule>
<from>^/(.+/more)/?$</from>
<to>/index.cfm?/$1</to>
</rule>

This assumes that "more" should be at the end. Your original rule accepted anything including "more". If you need to accept anything where "more" appears in the above <from> then change the "more" to ([^.]+)

I currently have this rule on my site which works great:

<rule>
<from>^/(.+)/$</from>
<to>/index.cfm?/$1</to>
</rule>

So if someone writes in a URL such as:

[link]

It will redirect to

[link]

Which is all good.

avl...@gmail.com (Avlesh Singh) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:46:38 UT

In most use cases, users "forward" or "redirect" to a re-written URL. With
the former, the original request is "forwarded" using java's request
dispatcher which means that the re-writing is hidden from the client.
Basically, the URL which was originally requested remains the way it is in
browsers' address bar. However, with the latter (type=redirect), the

No sorry, I will perhaps get to it Saturday night. But it seems like
you can use $1 etc. within <set>'s value as you would within <to> (at
least in 2.6)

Hello,

Can anyone explain this phrase from the manual doc regarding the type
attribute for the <to> element where I want to use "forwad" ?

"Note: In this case the "to" URL must be in the same context as
UrlRewriteFilter."

Maybe an example please.

I am using it but even if i get the correct generated url in <to> i am
