Hi,

I guess this is a problem/situation many of you have seen before.

When a old website is switching to eZ and the old links are like this:

www.domain.com/?articleID=10

How is it possible to create a URL Alias that takes ?articleID=10 and redirects to correct object.

I tried to use the "URL Translator", but it removed the "?". I also tried different options on the"URL wildcard", but no luck.

Have any of you handled this problem, and have a nice soloution for it?

I was thinking of making a code that just check if the ?article was set and then redirect to www.domain.com/article=10, and create a url alias. But I wanted to check if anyone have done something simular?

Sincerely,

I might suggest custom mod_rewrite rules in your httpd vhost configuration file directly as a simple solution.

Ah, that might be a good soloution.
We are allready running custom rewriterules, but I am not that good with creating new ones.

Suggestion how this rewrite rule would look?
