Detail Redirect Mods

 Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

The mods name probably a little bit confusing, but that is exactly what this mods do, redirecting to the correct detail page. In IndexU, we often use 'link title' as part of detail URL, sometimes it is also combined with 'category name' or 'category path' to build detail URL we want. There's no problem here.

The issue begin, when user modified the link title or change it's category, this obviously will changes the detail URL. But "the old detail url" still working, it doesn't redirect to the new detail URL.
Example :
http://www.yourindexudomain.com/detail/100/my-original-title.html
http://www.yourindexudomain.com/detail/100/my-first-change-title.html
http://www.yourindexudomain.com/detail/100/my-second-change-title.html
All the above urls will produce the same content, we don't think this is good in the eye of search engine.
So we developed this mods, it will redirect all the old detail urls to the latest one, hopefully it can prevent duplicate content issue.

Members can download this mods for FREE here (you’ll need to login first).

Here is the installation step :

  1. Unzip and upload the detail-redirect-mods.zip file to the corresponding IndexU folder.
  2. Edit the detail.php script :
    Change :

    Content visible to member only. Please register and login first.

    To :

    Content visible to member only. Please register and login first.

No templates changes in this regards, just a small change in one script.

Ok, we hope this simple mods will be useful for you.
If you have question or suggestion to improve and make this mods better for you, just let us know.
