Hello,

I have a catalog. It is possible to redirect:

From: www.site.com/catalog/category1/category2/item1

To: www.site.com/item1

Thanks!

Create an item as follow:



If what you really wnat is that users call the short url (www.site.com/item1), and they get the content of the long one (www.site.com/catalog/category1/category2/item1), the item must work opposite:




In this case use the initial caret (^) to avoid redirection loops.

Does not work. Appear 404 page. May be that is becouse catalog component make its own path.
I want instead of long path to have short links. (It is for SEO). What i must do: write a rule in ReDJ or modify catalog component?

So I supposed right, you should use the second one:



Consider that /item1 doesn't exist and here ReDJ redirect to existing URL. But if you get an error 404 from Apache, it means that Apache manages your request, so Joomla (and ReDJ) can't do nothing.

If you need to manage these kind of pages, you must tell to Apache to pass them to Joomla. To do this, just add this line at the end of your .htaccess file:



It should solve (remember to enable ReDJ plugin).

I dont think so. I will explain:
I have a catalog that creates long links of products, like: www.site.com/catalog/category1/category2/item1, but i want to reduce them, to be: www.site.com/item1.

When I type in browser www.site.com/item1, it returns 404 page.

I think I should modify catalog component, isn't it?

I repeat...
