Re: gbp_permanent_links

The plugin now works for me :-) But I can’t figure out how to use it!

At the mo, I use /title for my permanent link mode.
I want to switch to /section/title plm now that the site has different sections.

How should I create a custom rule so that anyone typing in http://mysite.com/a1 will be redirected to http://mysite.com/oldstuff/a1

I think you can do that by making a rule: plain text / title

make plain text = oldstuff

Under conditions set it to use the section you want to forward from. You might have to make several rules ot cover all your old sections.

Re: gbp_permanent_links

Travis – Thanks, I’ve tried that but when I type in http://mysite.com/a1, that’s what I get. That is better than getting a 404 but I really need to be redirected to http://mysite.com/oldstuff/a1

There seems to be some issues here which I’ll look at very soon.

Re: gbp_permanent_links

Greatest plugin ever. Thank you so much for offering this. I can now stop using a hacked version of TXP to get section/category/title urls !!! :)

Re: gbp_permanent_links

I’m still trying to get my site to work — let me know if I’m doing this right…

I did a basic of install of TXP w/ messy URLs, I didn’t change any of the prefs. Then I installed and activated both plugins. When I activate them my links change from messy URLs to section / category / links automatically — but when I follow the links they are 404 errors.

I saved the permanent link rule w/ a name of default w/ precedence 0 to no effect. What am I doing wrong / missing?

Re: gbp_permanent_links

Hi Graeme.

I think I have found a little issue between your plug-in and pap_contact_cleaner (an add-on for zem_contact_reborn to prevent SPAM) that isn’t affecting the sending of e-mails thru contact forms, but that is, (in someway and combined with the other variables) preventing the Postmaster plug-in to add the subscriber to the database.

You can take a look at my post explainin the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Re: gbp_permanent_links

I thought you had to have /clean/ URLs enabled. No?

Re: gbp_permanent_links

>Greame
Have you thought any more about supporting other category types (image/link/file) with this excellent plugin?

Thanks again

Re: gbp_permanent_links

No, it can be either clean or messy according to graeme, I tried both with no luck

The default TXP archive method/permlink mode can be set to anything. Your custom rules will get used automatically.
