Otsikko: Preserve old links to merged topics
Kirjoitti: JamesWC - tammikuu 08, 2008, 11:03:03 AP
I have some topics that I'd like to merge together. However, some of them receive a lot of incoming traffic from search engines, etc. If I merge them, some of those old links are going to become dead (returning a board error).

Is it possible to write a mod that would redirect the URLs from any old pre-merge topics to the newly merged super-topic?

I've create something like that some weeks ago.

I will pack it together and release it in the mod system ;), it can be handy.

But it will take some days, weeks until it will be approved ;).
