Forum Url Redirect
Hi,
I’d like to set up my existing IP.Board forum into a framed page, so my IP.Board can retain the header from the rest of my site. Once I go live and change the url to the new one, is there a way we can automatically update all urls / create a redirection from all of the old forum pages (without the /community/) to the new url format?
The path to my current IP.Board forum (separate from rest of site) is:
http://www.mywebsite.com/forums/
The new (once this concern is resolved) framed IP.Board path will be:
http://www.mywebsite.com/community/forums.php
By comparing the above 2 url’s, you’ll see that the path of /community/ has been added, once the framed IP.Board goes live. My concern, is for all users who are using existing bookmarked pages, or direct links, how can we get all urls to automatically redirect to the same pages but with the updated address path (/community/forums.php) in the url so there are no broken links? Is this possible? Is it an .htaccess modification that needs to be done?
If this is not possible, what about including the rest of the site’s header inside the forums files? How would I include a .tpl header and .tpl footer? Is that the easier way to go?
ONLY reasonable bids will be accepted, this should not cost too much. Also please send a description/summary of how you will be able to accomplish this, within a private message. Thanks
