Dynamic URL rewrites

27 Apr 2013, 17:28

I have rules in place already that convert DYNAMIC URLs like productdetails.asp?subcatagoryid=123&productid=22

to SEO compatible urls like C123-CatName-P22-Productname.asp

But I have made some big changes in the database recently and need to redirect certain specific urls that no longer exist in the database and now just give errors when you visit them:

for example:
ProductDetails.asp?subcatagoryid=244&ProductID=1177

I would like to redirect everything that has subcatagoryid=244 to newurl.asp regardless of anything else that comes after in the url.


How would I create this rule and should I place it above the general rules that rewrite the other URLs?

Hello,

You would put this rule at the top of your config file and use the following syntax:

Code: Select all
[ISAPI_Rewrite]

RewriteRule ProductDetails\.asp?subcatagoryid=244.* http\://www\.site\.com/newurl\.asp [I,RP]

Hi there, thank you for your reply. However that didnt work.
It didnt do anything for some reason.

Here is my httpd.ini file with the working rules that are already in it:

Code: Select all
[ISAPI_Rewrite]

#Images & Css
RewriteRule .*\.(?:css|jpg|png|js|gif) $0


#project rules

RewriteRule /P(\d+).*\-C(\d+)\.asp /productdetails.asp\?ProductID=$1&SubCatagoryID=$2 [I,L] 
RewriteRule /P(\d+)-pg(\d+)(.*)\.asp    /productdetails.asp\?ProductID=$1 [I,L]
RewriteRule /P(\d+)(.*)\.asp    /productdetails.asp\?ProductID=$1 [I,L]


#category rules
RewriteRule /d(\d+)-pg(\d+)(.*?)/?        /Products.asp\?SubCatagoryID=$1 [I,RP,L]
RewriteRule /d(\d+)(.*?)/?       /Products.asp\?SubCatagoryID=$1 [I,L]

#testimonial rules

 
RewriteRule /T(\d+)-pg(\d+)(.*)\.asp    /Testimonialdetails.asp\?TestimonialID=$1 [I,L]
RewriteRule /T(\d+)(.*)\.asp    /Testimonialdetails.asp\?TestimonialID=$1 [I,L]

I'm sorry, try:

Code: Select all
RewriteRule /ProductDetails\.asp\?subcatagoryid=244.* /newurl\.asp [I,RP]
