Question Redirect CMS url

[RedWS600]

Hi I wonder if you can help. For a couple of years I have had CMS articles ending in '.html' just before Xmas something changed and CMS articles ends in nothing', i may have ticked something by accident. Anyway, some pages have been indexed and have links going to them eg.

http://www.solent-renegades.co.uk/content/166-new-waterlooville-tip

I could do with doing a redirect/displaying the page of

http://www.solent-renegades.co.uk/content/166-new-waterlooville-tip.html

If I do a custom redirect (although would have to do it for each individual article, I have a couple of hundred, but many we written before I must have clicked the Custom 'CMS Entry URL'

If I do the following
(Pro) Custom Redirects
'content/21-southsea-cruise' => 'content/21-southsea-cruise.html'

I get a redirect loop which it to be expected.

Is there a way to globally accept the CMS article without the HTML? then redirect to the HTML? I guess the article ID is at the beginning which should be all it needs.


Many Thanks
Dan.

Try this:

'^content/21-southsea-cruise$' => 'content/21-southsea-cruise.html'

$ in this case means "end of line", meaning "if nothing exists after cruise".

Brilliant thanks for that, works a treat. I must learn more about rewrite rules and symbols at some point.

Thanks again.
