Hi All,

Running 3.3.16.

Looking to migrate some records from our primary system to a secondary system, and redirect all the bots we’ve collected over the years, via redir_permanent (301), for the migrated items to the new location (rather than have the primary show a 404).

I have based my initial attempt which is working, on the logic in cfg/cfg.d/rewrite_url_demo.pl, but it fires for every uri hit the server sees,… valid records, css, etc…

Is there a way to allow the system to function as usual, and then if the uri request cannot be found, fire this particular redirect logic, and if it falls through that, then present the 404 as usual??

Primarily just to keep the trigger from firing until needed… since I don’t need the trigger to lookup potentially ~000’s of eprintid’s, for every uri request coming through…

Original logic,

# $c->add_trigger( EP_TRIGGER_URL_REWRITE, sub {

#             my( %o ) = @_;

#

#             if( $o{uri} eq $o{urlpath}."/testpath01" )

#             {

#                             ${$o{return_code}} = EPrints::Apache::Rewrite::redir( $o{request}, https://totl.net/ );

#                             return EP_TRIGGER_DONE;

#             }

# } );

Updated to

# $c->add_trigger( EP_TRIGGER_URL_REWRITE, sub {

#             my( %o ) = @_;

#             my $url = "">

#             if( $url =~ m#^/(\d+)/#  || $url =~ m#^/id/eprint/(\d+)/# )            # <-- This snippet taken from cgi/handle_404

#             {

#                             if( $1 eq "99999" )

#                             {

#                                             ${$o{return_code}} = EPrints::Apache::Rewrite:: redir_permanent ( $o{request}, http://not.the.real.link.net/ );

#                                             return EP_TRIGGER_DONE;

#                             }

#             }

Cheers,

Matt.
