Hello and thank you for a great program.
I have made many modifications to my menu system and am redirecting all of them one by one. I have come across a couple of issues however that my lack of knowledge and understanding is probably making more difficult than it really is.
1. When an old url indexed by google is
www.mysite.com/article.html (now creates a 404 as this menu item no longer exists) and I redirect it to
www.mysite.com/submenu/article.html (the now correct url), I get an error message saying that this redirection will never complete. I put /article.html in the "FromURL" section and /submenu/article.html in the "ToURL" section. If I remove the .html at the end of the target url, everything is fine but the .html doesn't show up in the URL. Is there a way to redirect it to the new target url with the .html intact?
2. There are several instances where only the directory name changed but the article name stayed the same like www.mysite/subdirectoryone/goodarticle.html changing to www.mysite/subdirectorytwo/goodarticle.html. Is there a way to do all of these at once or do I have to do them one by one.
I am using Joomla 1.5.22 with SEF options checked including the "add suffix to url's" which I am guessing has something to do with question #1.
Thank you for any help you can offer and I apologize if this is already answered somewhere that I have read but didn't understand.
