Need help with parsing and redirect using Magento
Posted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 3:06 pm
Hi, all. I am not a developer and I know about enough to get me in trouble and I need some help. Any help is appreciated. Here's the issue.
The Problem: My old shopping cart (OpenCart) wrote product addresses as something like this: http://fastguys.com/index.php?route=pro ... duct_id=61 . That is the google listing for our A/C delete bracket and has great ranking, but it is still for the old cart. The new cart won’t return a 404 because any address http://fastguys.com/index.php +anything else delivers the home page. That means google never sees a 404 for that bad page and it stays in the search ranks and restricts our new site from ranking.
Question: Is there a way that I can parse and redirect all addresses that include http://fastguys.com/index.php****** where *****=any values. The new cart (Magento) uses http://fastguys.com/index.php as the home page.
Thanks for any help in advance.
