Redirect index.php but keep clean urls, possible?
Hi everyone,
For a current project I am working on I would like to redirect the very first page. So if you visit www.domain.com it get’s redirected to shop.domain.com (this will be powered by another system).
However, I would still like to be able to use Textpattern to power the other pages such as:
www.domain.com/about
www.domain.com/blog
www.domain.com/contact
etc.How would this best be accomplished in your opinion? Thoughts, help and ideas are all appreciated.
Cheers,
-Sam

Hi Sam, this might not give you what you want but one way would be not to redirect the fornt page but use something like
<txp:glx:if_frontpage>
<txp:php>include 'http://shop.domain.com/';</txp:php>
<txp:else />
whatever you want for the rest of the pages here...
</txp:glx:if_frontpage>Last edited by colak (2009-04-21 18:11:11)

Hi Yiannis,
I don’t think that solution would work in this instance I really want people to be redirected, but perhaps using similar code I could meta refresh visitors to the sub-domain.
Thanks for posting, I appreciate all the help I can get figuring out the best solution on this one!

Re: Redirect index.php but keep clean urls, possible?
We could try a little bit of mod_rewrite mumbo-jumbo, might help. Goes like this (give or take a few typos):
#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
# magic happens here, eventually
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} =/
RewriteRule ^.* http://shop.example.com/ [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} !^$
RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>
#php_value register_globals 0Usual disclaimer about the non-deterministic behaviour of mod_rewrite across Apache setups applies…

Maybe this php solution will work
<txp:glx_if_frontpage>
<txp:php>header( 'Location: http://shop.domain.com' ) ;</txp:php>
<txp:else />
other pages

Hey Robert, that method is what I had originally intended but couldn’t get to work.
I think Yiannis’ solution using a header redirect with PHP might be the best for me.
Thanks guys!
