Redirecting Dynamic URLs

[zerokarma]

I am in the process of upgrading a site, a photo album in particular and would like to redirect the old dynamic urls to the new location but I can't seem to get a mod_rewrite rule to work.

OLD URL examples:
http://www.zerokarma.com/modules.php?na ... s&album=13
http://www.zerokarma.com/modules.php?na ... ls&album=9
http://www.zerokarma.com/modules.php?na ... s&album=15

NEW URL examples:
http://www.zerokarma.com/photoalbum/thumbnails-13.html
http://www.zerokarma.com/photoalbum/thumbnails-9.html
http://www.zerokarma.com/photoalbum/thumbnails-15.html

Anyone know exactly how I can write a rule that will redirect those old dynamic urls to the newer ones. The new urls are already active so I just need to forward/redirect the old ones to it somehow.

Nevermind, I figured it out after searching Google for a while.

This code appears to work for me in my case:

Code: Select all

rewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /modules\.php\?name=([^&]+)&file=([^&]+)&album=([^&]+)\ HTTP/
rewriteRule ^modules\.php$ http://www.zerokarma.com/photoalbum/thumbnails-(%3).html? [R=301,L]

I'd do it like this:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

Rewritecond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?name=photo_album(&.*)?$ [NC]
Rewritecond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?file=thumbnails(&.*)?$  [NC]
Rewritecond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?album=([0-9]+)(&.*)?$   [NC]
RewriteRule ^modules\.php$ http://www.zerokarma.com/photoalbum/thumbnails-%2.html? [NC,R=301,L]

Then variable order will not matter.
