Redirect issue

15 years 6 months ago #4220 by matthewgann
I use Finder from jxtended (just to get out that out there).

When I go to www.mysite.com/search , it automtically takes you to Joomla's com_search.  That annoys me and I can't figure out a way to get it to NOT do that. 

So, I figure I would do a redirect.  I put a redirect in: "search" to "index.php?Itemid=27&option=com_finder", and it doesn't work.  So, just to make sure, I put in another redirect (scholarweb to wserver.mydomain.com/scholarweb/index.asp ) and it doesn't work either.  I tried them both as 301's and 307's and neither redirected.

So, I figured why not try an alias, because I have quite a few of those and they work great.  I put in "search" to go to "index.php?Itemid=27&option=com_finder" and i get this error: "Fatal error: Class 'JRouterSite' not found in D:\xampp\htdocs\components\com_sef\sef_func.php on line 0".

So, any help to get anything to work would be amazing.  Thank you in advance!

/search is reserved for core search component.

A redirect should work. Did you publish it?
Source URL: scholarweb/
Target URL: wserver.mydomain.com/scholarweb/index.asp
Then try: www.mysite.com/scholarweb/

Again I wouldn't use word "search" for any of options, it is reserved. Use "find" or something like that.

It was the trailing /.  I don't know how i missed that.

Thank you for your help....I LOVE your component.
