Hi, this is such a basic question it's almost embarrasing to ask: How do I use URL Translator?
I'm trying to redirect /content/view/full/2 to /my_article, so I entered it under "URL Translation", cleared the cache and *TA-DAA!* nothing changed! What did I do wrong?
Thanks,
James

Anyone?
I was trying to redirect content/view/2 to my "welcome" article (I know about the indexpage setting in site.ini). In the end I just changed the template for viewing node 2, which doesn't seem like the best solution, but will have to do for now.

I have been trying this and it appears not to work as I would have expected.
Does this work with URL alias activated?
I added a wildcard my_sub/{1} about/* and nothing happens..
All the usually clear cache and added
[URLTranslator] Translation=enabledto override site.ini.
I have looked for documentation to explain and give examples of how URL translation should be used but can't find it.
Sorry I can't help James. I can confirm that with URL alias this feature appears to have zero effect.

I've just tried with 3.2 and 3.3 and it works with me. I tried:
/content/view/full/2->/testanything
Interestingly the url translator strips the / off the front.
Im using a virtual host - could this be an issue for you?

hhmmm I checked and I have translation=enabled (it's on by default and I haven't changed it). I'm using a virtual host, so unless it's trying to add index.php to the URL where it already exists I don't know what could be wrong (I noticed the / being striped off too, I wonder what else it could be doing?). This is probably something to come back to another time, as I have other EZ Pub projects to fry at the moment and I have a fix of sorts...
Thanks for your help though :)
