[geeklog-devel] Geeklog.net Downloads Plugin

[Tom]

Okay, I have enabled the downloads plugin and changed the links. Let me know
if I missed any.

I notice that the old file autotag from the filemanagement plugin isn't used
by the downloads plugin so I also installed the autotags plugin and created
a file autotag which uses the downloads links.

I notice that the old file management links produce an error when access
(even when disabled).

I have added the below  htaccess rules after a quick search online (I am an
IIS user so I don't know too much about htaccess)

# From old Filemanagement Plugin to Downloads Plugin
RewriteRule ^filemgmt/viewcat.php$ /downloads/index.php$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^filemgmt/(.*)$ /downloads/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

This seems to take care of the file management links. If any htaccess
experts know of a better way let me know.

Thanks

Tom

Weel done :)

For the redirection you can use something like

<IfModule mod_alias.c>
    Redirect permanent /filemgmt https://www.geeklog.net/downloads
</IfModule>
