Migrated from bbpress: Same urls in Vanilla?

ivanbg

Hello,

I have migrated my forum from bbpress to Vanilla (great program! thanks!). All works ok but i have a question:

I would like to keep the same urls from bbpress . I have change "categories" to "forum" in htaccess:

RewriteBase /foro/

RewriteRule ^categories/(.*)$ /foro/forum/$1 [R,L]

RewriteRule ^forum(.*) /foro/index.php\?p=categories$1 [PT,L]

but i don't know how to do the same with discussions.

In this moment i have:

u2fanlife.com/foro/discussion/1359/alguien-que-vaya-hoy-al-concierto-nivel-cancha

and i would like to put (bbpress url):

u2fanlife.com/foro/topic/alguien-que-vaya-hoy-al-concierto-nivel-cancha

I don't want to lose my seo in these links.

Any help please?

Thank you very much

if you are still using wordpress you can use the redirection plugin and manage those from the admin panel - http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/

removing the topic number could open some problems for you, it may be easier to go the other way and set the redirects from the old links to the new ones. (Make the incoming links to the old forum posts redirect to the current location)

Still may be a challenge if any of the topic titles get truncated unless you trim what you are searching for.
