Anybody here know regex and redirect match?

Holy shit it's not a political thread...

Pretend we are working with something like this:
domain.com/montana/milfs-in-bozeman.php
domain.com/montana/bozeman-is-boring.php
domain.com/montana/fuck-bozeman-it-sucks-here.php
domain.com/montana/whatever-bozeman-random-shit.php

And you want to redirect anything in the /montana/ folder that mentions bozeman to a new folder

domain.com/montana/bozeman/index.php

I dont need to match the filename in the new folder, I have plans for something different... just need to match the city and send it to the correct folder. Right now all the cities are just dumped in one folder... thousands of pages actually.

Somebody have a htaccess code for this?

Not sure what you mean but I generate those types of pages and redirect using a cloaker

Generating pages is easy and only takes seconds. Doing mass 301 redirects for pages that already have listings while maintaining SEO the correct way is more challenging.

Only way I know is to import your pages into wordpress and use a cloaker plugin. Then redirect off keywords/searches anywhere you want.

It's been a while since doing htaccess redirects, but you should be able to do a conditional match with regexp to match #domain.com/(.*?)/(.*?)bozeman(.*?)#

Could you please type the whole thing?

I can figure it out but it's like missing three digits of a phone number :)

Just the word 'regex' makes my head hurt - The guy that invented it must still laugh when he sees geeks tearing what little hair they have left out...

There are many ways to achive that, one would be to place local .htaccess to /montana/ directory with the following lines:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine  on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*(bozeman).*$

RewriteRule ^ /montana/bozeman/index.php [L,R=302,NE]

</IfModule>

This almost works but it gives me some weird redirect loop

I'm just deleting it and rebuilding it. Spent too much time on it already, and google will respider the whole thing in a couple of days. No big deal.

Yup, could be, cause the url redirected to also contains the "bozeman" keyword.

So, you can add some condition before to ignore the url you are redirecting to for example:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine  on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*(\/montana\/bozeman\/index.php)$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*(bozeman).*$

RewriteRule ^ /montana/bozeman/index.php [L,R=302,NE]

</IfModule>

Thanks, I will try this out and let you know if it works. Luckily I got distracted earlier and havent deleted it yet :)
