I've deleted a few albums but bots and humans have bookmarked these old albums.

I tried adding a simple .htaccess line but I can't seem to get it to work. Am I missing something?

RedirectMatch 301 ^/gallery/v/OpenHouse/(.*) http://www.londonicedawgs.com/gallery/main.php
RedirectMatch 301 ^/gallery/v/BOWLING/(.*) http://www.londonicedawgs.com/gallery/main.php
RedirectMatch 301 ^/gallery/v/Coloring_Contest/(.*) http://www.londonicedawgs.com/gallery/main.php

Without the redirects, when someone goes to one of these deleted albums, they get:

Quote:

Error

Item not found.

Back to the Gallery

actually anonymous users get a more generic error w/out all the details.

you may want to redirect in the errorpage
/modules/core/templates/ErrorPage.tpl
line ~65 something like:

{if !$ErrorPage.isAdmin}
<script>document.location.href='{g->url}';</script>
{/if}

That is right, I forgot I was logged in when I was testing it out but it still generates an error, Why not toss it back to the main page?

The referrer is a bit messy but it works but I would like a proper 301 redirect so bots stop filling my error logs trying to hammer old albums.

would this work better?

    {if !$ErrorPage.isAdmin}
        {php} header("Location: /gallery/main.php", true, 301) {/php}
    {/if}

Weird, it worked a couple times now it's not.
I'm also getting php errors in my error log.

yea, I would do this myself:: move the condition to the top of the page as so there is no output before:

{if isset($ErrorPage.code.missingObject) && !$ErrorPage.isAdmin}
    {php} header("Location: /gallery/main.php", true, 301) {/php}
{/if}

you can remove the isAdmin check if you don't care to catch these yourself.

I tried it at the top last night too but still got "headers already sent"
Don't suppose I could add this to whatever file contains the header. Get it in before the header is sent.

look in modules/core/ErrorPage.inc for setResponseHeader

I'll handle this along the track you were following before ... as a redirect and avoid editing the core files if possible.

Some points:

1. What exactly did you mean by not being able to get the redirect to work?
2. Where in your htaccess did you place the lines?
3. Can you paste a copy of the htaccess?
4. Try adding a "[L]" or "[QSA, L]" after each line
