Hi,

I have to take my hat off to Luigi for helping me sort out some redirect errors I had on my website.

I had a few error 404 URLs I could not work out how to redirect, like these:

/index2.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=159&pop=1&page=52&Itemid=10218
/index2.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&pop=1&page=0&Itemid=72
/index2.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=301&pop=1&page=0&Itemid=10440
/index2.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=77&pop=1&page=0&Itemid=113

The solution was this:
/index2.php\?option=com_content&task=view&id=[0-9]{1,3}&pop=1&page=[0-9]{1,2}&Itemid=[0-9]{1,5}

Many thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
thanks to you for sharing solution here.

Hi,

Might be a good idea to give an explanation of the different elements in redirect URL that make it work with an URL of this kind. Even I am still on a learning curve.
