Changing the default location for Friendly URLs

[James Buckingham-2]

Hiya,

I'm working on a 404 error page for our new page. The job of the 404
is to first check our old sites ( running on separate domains) to see
if the page exists there and if it doesn't then throw a "Page not
Found" page.

It seems to be working fine if I put in something specific like
this...

http:///www.myNewWebsiteDomain.com/hr/aboutus/page.cfm

...however if I put in....

http://www.myNewWebsiteDomain.com/hr/aboutus/

It looks like the FarCry is grabbing it, checking the address against
its Friendly URLs ( /hr/aboutus/ ) not finding it and sending the user
to the home page of our new site.

There are hundreds of these so I don't want to put them all into
FarCry manually. Is there anyway of customising the current Friendly
URL code to say I want to send them to the 404 rather than the home
page?

Cheers,
James

James,

Yes, you can override the default 404 page processing of redirecting
to the home page by creating the following file /projects/
yourprojectname/errors/404.cfm

and place whatever code you need to handle 404's

Thanks Chris but that's not really what I was meaning.

The 404 is working fine because if I specify this address....

http://www.newsite.com/hr/index.cfm

....which doesn't exist on the new site, it redirects the user to
this.......

http://www.oldsite.com/hr/index.cfm

...if however I put in this address without the index.cfm ...

http://www.oldsite.com/hr/

FarCry is saying "I've got a friendly URL here so I need to look up
the objectID for this. Oh hang on this doesn't exist so I'm going to
send them to the home page".

What I want FarCry to do is send this user to the 404 instead of the
home page.

We've been doing some digging around today and found that the redirect
is actually being dealt with by the display.cfm in FarCry Core (tags/
navajo/display.cfm) at lines 75 / 76. It's hard coded to say go to the
home page via the value application.navid.home though. Ideally I'd
like to be able to repoint this to the 404.

From what I see I've got two choices

1) I repoint the index.cfm to read a custom display.cfm which is a
copy of the core and change the code I need. Downside to this is I've
then go to monitor any changes to the core as updates come out so
that's not ideal.

2) I manually create a FU for each of folders which doesn't exist on
the new site and tell it to redirect to the old. That's a lot of work
though and it means we'll have to remove them over time while they
migrate across.

Can anyone think of any other options?

Ideally it would be good to have an option in the Admin > Config >
Friendly URL config to be able to specify where FarCry redirects if a
friendly URL doesn't exist. Something to raise on the wish list?? :-)

Cheers,
James

James,

You can put whatever code you require in the /projects/yourprojectname/
errors/404.cfm to handle any migration redirects required and this is
run instead of the redirect the homepage. a very simple example would
be that /projects/yourprojectname/errors/404.cfm just contains
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes">
<cflocation url="/page-not-found" addtoken="no">
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="no">

It would be easy to build in some logging to the /projects/
yourprojectname/errors/404.cfm to record the missing URL and the
http_referer and then report on the missing URLs that require action.

I recently took a V3 site with "/go/..." type URLs to V5 and created
all the old URLs as 301 redirect URLs for the new site. This was easy
as it was a Farcry to Farcry site and the old content item objectID
was used to match the old to new URLs.

Chris.

Hi Chris,

I did try creating a error/404.cfm in my project but it just ignored
it and went straight to the home page :-(. It seems to be because
there isn't an objectID associated with that url so the display.cfm is
sending it to the home page.

Cheers,
James

James,

Make sure you place and name the file /projects/yourprojectname/errors/
404.cfm

Look at core/tags/navajo/display.cfm at line 67, you will see that if
the /projects/yourprojectname/errors/404.cfm exists it is included,
else the redirect to homepage happens.

Chris.

Thanks Chris.

Are you running 5-1-0? Line 67 on mine doesn't include this code,
that's where the code is I'm referring to and is run when there isn't
an objectID.

The code you're referring to is further down the page and is wrapped
in an if statement to be executed when there is an objectID.

I'm still to test this but I think I've been a bit daft with this one.

The display.cfm is a custom tag and accepts an argument of objectID -
It should be the case that I can do some checks in the index.cfm
before display it's executed. If there isn't an objectID then I can
call some code and pass the user onto the 404 page :-).

As I say that's a theory so I'm off to try it just now.

Cheers again,
James

[Chris Kent-2]

James,

Yes, using 5-1-2

The site using the custom 404 page is http://www.kgsbikes.com/ any
friendly URL that is not found redirect to http://www.kgsbikes.com/page-not-found,
this is a standard html page set up in farcry.

The custom 404.cfm just has <cflocation url="/page-not-found"
addtoken="no">

Chris.
