2.4 upgrade - nested URLs and old URL redirects?
19 June 2010 at 8:28pm Last edited: 19 June 2010 8:29pm
Hi there,
I was under the impression after looking at the docs that 2.4.0 with nested URLs activated will redirect a page's old URL to the new nested one.
I just upgraded a site from 2.3.5 to 2.4.0 and found that this is working in my case.
e.g.
Old URL (2.3.6) - www.mysite.com/lost-civilizations-la-paz-to-lima/
New URL (2.4.0 - automatcially generated after upgrade with no page organizational changes) - www.mysite.com/tours/lost-civilizations-la-paz-to-lima/While the new URL is perfect, I find the old URL just gives a (Silverstripe) 404 error, which is no good for SEO.
Can anyone advise on the behavior? I may be missing a config option here. The only thing I have added to the config is SiteTree::enable_nested_urls();. I could do this manually in htaccess, but it will be very time consuming with the amount of pages my customer has.
Cheers

Once you have run the migration task then the old URLs should automatically fire 301 redirections from the old site. I think this is based off the versions table (or maybe just the url segment of the page). AFAIK this is automatic for example http://silverstripe.com/team we added nested urls and it moved to http://silverstripe.com/about-us/team without any changes. I have no idea how it actually works so hopefully someone else who knows will be able to help but take a tiny bit of comfort that it *should* be working

Cheers Will,
I guess I might be having trouble getting my head around the way this should work on the page structure side. These pages have not been moved at all at this stage. All I have done is upgrade my dev copy to 2.4.0 and activated nested urls. The physical structure is the same:
Home
-->Tours
----->Tour 1
----->Tour 2Before the upgrade, the urls were just www.mysite.com/tour-1 and www.mysite.com/tour-2. After the upgrade and nested url activation they were www.mysite.com/tours/tour-1 and www.mysite.com/tours/tour-2.
This is perfect, however I can't see how silverstripe could possibly redirect the URLs when the physical pages do not change. I am guessing things would be different if Tour 1 and Tour 2 were in the root rather than the sub directory?

Still no joy with this. Tried the upgrade on my dev environment a few times now.
Has anyone out there done a 2.3.x -> 2.4.0 upgrade and can confirm 301 redirects work automatically for old page urls? If so, can you detail the upgrade process. I have followed the Docs to the tee.
As a side note, it would be interesting to know what will happen if the 301's do automatically work, what the deal is when you create a page with the same original URL (that is automatically being redirected).
