Hi,
Facebook likes are based on the URL, so if you change the URL with a redirect (e.g. because you want a short or a new one), for Facebook the URL is different and no likes are preserved.

A solution could be an "internal redirect", but is possible and useful only if you can leave the same URL and just want to change the "content" inside it.

Hope I was clear.

Best regards,
Luigi

So, my url's look like this:
www.mysite.com/news/music/item/1097-new-album-from-mj.html
And if I do the following thing you told me, my url's will look like this:
www.mysite.com/news/item/1097-new-album-from-mj.html
But if I want them to be displayed without the "/item/1097" & ".html" so it would show the links without loosing my rank in sites like google,like this:
www.mysite.com/news/new-album-from-mj

What do I have to do about it?

The only way is to create internale redirect, but for each article you want to redirect. As example:



So when user call:

www.mysite.com/news/new-album-from-mj

He get:

www.mysite.com/news/music/item/1097-new-album-from-mj.htm

Without any url changes in address bar. But this must be done for each article, because in the source URL a part of the slug information (1097) is missing, so there is no macro available at the moment to get it. I'm planning to do something like this in future, but for now is not implemented yet.

Best regards,
Luigi

I want redirect .
my normal url
www.mysite.com/news/music/item/1097-new-album-from-mj.html

I remove .html with the help of global configuration of joomla, "Add suffix to URLs" and mark it on "no". So which macro should I give so all of my url's that I call that had .html go to urls without .html?
www.mysite.com/news/music/item/1097-new-album-from-mj

This destination should work:

First i do this to move the sub folder to primary


and after i remove the ".html" with "Add suffix to URLs", and all the url's that had .html
to redirect to url's without .html
And what macro do I write in redj??

Many apologies for all this explanation but am trying not to do anything wrong and understand your program.

If you create two items you will get two redirects, and this is not so pretty.

This could be done with a single item using a regexp macro, but this is not for community version.

If you agree with the two redirects, the items should be:



The first item drop the music folder from url, and the second drop the .html at the end. Beware to put thew first one BEFORE the second one.

Luigi
