Post by: Ajit Sahane on December 03, 2020, 05:06:55 PM

I want htaccess code for 301 redirection

old ad format -  xyz.com/for-sale/bike-for-sale_i123    but i am changed  underscore to hyphen format

now new ad format -  xyz.com/for-sale/bike-for-sale-i123   

In this case, my site all ads want 301 redirection & manual 5000+ ads not possible for each ad htaccess code

I was doing that recently and simply autogenerated code using loop and put there to htaccess.
You need to do it just temporary for month or so.

@Ajit
Try this one.

Code: [Select]

    $mSearch = new Search() ;
    $mSearch->limit(0, 9999) ;
    $aItems = $mSearch->doSearch();
    View::newInstance()->_exportVariableToView('items', $aItems);

    if(osc_count_items() > 0) {
      while(osc_has_items()) {
        echo 'Redirect 301 ' . str_replace(osc_base_url(), '/', osc_item_url()) . ' ' . str_replace('_', '-', osc_item_url()) . '<br/>';
      }
    }

You generate this code before you change"_" into "-", save output to htaccess and immediatelly change permalink settings.

Already shared working code.
You can customize it by your needs and preferences.

@Ajit
PHP code probably belongs to .php file.

Code is correct, works ok for me.
I think you will need at least basic knowledge of PHP to be able to work with such code successfully.
