Regex Redirects

Updated

Since SCMS sites don't use a subdomain for their modules (for example, they use /list, /events, /hotdeals instead of business.mysite.com/list, business.mysite.com/events/, business.mysite.com/hotdeals respectively), when the new GZCMS site is launched, we need a way to redirect these urls so that visitors/crawlers are redirected to the new corresponding subdomain module page.

 

For instance, after a SCMS => GZCMS launch, this url:

 

https://mysite.com/list/member/ace-hardware-8365

 

needs to be redirected to:

 

https://business.mysite.com/list/member/ace-hardware-8365

 

In order to not have to individually redirect each member page, event, news release, etc, we can use regex redirects to mass redirect those urls to the proper subdomain.

 

This can be accomplished in GZCMS via the YoastSEO Plugin's "Regex" Redirects under Dashboard > Yoast SEO > Redirects > Regex Redirects tab. Below is a table with the regex and destination urls that you'd add to the site.

 

The following modules marked with an asterisk are only included with CM/MZ customers with the Plus and above packages, so it is not necessary to insert a redirect into Yoast for those urls.

 

Module Regular Expression Destination URL
Communication ^/communication(.*) https://business.mysite.com/communication$1
Contact ^/contact(.*) https://business.mysite.com/contact$1
Directory ^/list(.*) https://business.mysite.com/list$1
Events ^/events(.*) https://business.mysite.com/events$1
Groups ^/groups(.*) https://business.mysite.com/groups$1
Hot Deals ^/hotdeals(.*) https://business.mysite.com/hotdeals$1
Info Requests* ^/info(.*) https://business.mysite.com/info$1
Job Postings ^/jobs(.*) https://business.mysite.com/jobs$1
Map* ^/map(.*) https://business.mysite.com/map$1
MarketSpace* ^/marketspace(.*) https://business.mysite.com/marketspace$1
Member Login ^/login(.*) https://business.mysite.com/login$1
Member to Member Deals* ^/membertomember(.*) https://business.mysite.com/membertomember$1
New Member Application ^/member/newmemberapp(.*) https://business.mysite.com/member/newmemberapp$1
News* ^/news(.*) https://business.mysite.com/news$1
Weather ^/weather(.*) https://business.mysite.com/weather$1

 

 

The destination urls of course would be updated to match whatever new subdomain the customer is requesting, usually business.mysite.com or members.mysite.com.
