I have placed the showwiki.php redirection script in /forum/
However, it doesn't work at this time.
On this page: /wiki/Questions_and_Answers
There is a link to: /forum/showwiki.php?title=Donating
Which no longer shows a 404 but now shows a blank screen.
It should redirect to: /wiki/Donating
Maybe I am wrong but it seems to me that this type of URL could be rewritten relatively easy?
From: /forum/showwiki.php?title=X
To: /wiki/X
So that no redirection is needed for those links within VW articles. I have do this for forum content with a replacement query:
Code:
UPDATE xf_post SET message = REPLACE(message, '/forum/showwiki.php?title=', '/wiki/');
Is the same not possible for VW?
This would not remove the needed for a working redirect, but it would fix a lot of URLs.
