Removing Zoints SEO (.htaccess question)

Hi mates,
For some reason, I decided to remove zoints seo from my boards. But my forum has over 200 000 google index, and I dont want to loose it.

Now my current url's are like this:

mysite.com/the-name-of-the-topic-t123456.html

Code (markup):

Without zoints, the same url will be like this:

mysite.com/showthread.php?t=123456

Code (markup):

So, what is the .htaccess code to 301 redirect first url to the second one, so that I wont loose my google index.

Best regards

 

Maybe something like:

RewriteCond $1 t([0-9]+)\.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.+) showthread.php?t=%1 [R=301,L]

Haven't tested it though... Just winging it.

 

Thanks mate,
But it did not work

 

By the way, any other way not to loose my index is also appreciated

 

Well, sorry for flooding.

With the above .htaccess code, it redirects like this:

http://mysite.com/home/admin/domains/mysite.com/public_html/showthread.php?t=38711

Code (markup):

maybe you can see what is wrong

 

Sorry I'm used to working w/ ISAPI Rewrite on IIS which is about 99% compatible w/ Mod Rewrite.

You may need to include the following directives at the top of the .htaccess file:

NOTE: I also added the http://www.mysite.com/ to the target URL inside the RewriteRule. Should not have omitted that previously.

I am assuming the rules have been placed in the .htaccess in the root of your web.

 

Yesss
it worked
thanks a lot

 

My pleasure.

 

Well one more thing

When there are multiple pages, url's are like thisp2, p3 etc)

http://mysite.com/centrino-t758p2.html

Code (markup):

The original url's must be like this, when its p2

http://mysite.com/showthread.php?t=758&page=2

Code (markup):

Thanks

 

Try something like:

Something like this should handle both scenarios.

 

Thank you very much mate..
Works like a charm
