I am switching my wife's hosted photography site to Liftweb, largely
as a reason to learn Lift. Part of the conversion is moving the old
directory structure to a cleaner structure. I wanted to redirect all
of the old URI's to the modern equivalent. I read Chapter 13 of the
Lift book and got the following to work:
LiftRules.dispatch.prepend{
case r @Req("Portraits"::"High-School"::"Seniors"::_::Nil,
_,_) => () =>Full(PermRedirectResponse("/Galleries/HighSchoolSeniors",
r))
}
LiftRules.dispatch.prepend{
case r @Req("Portraits"::"High-School"::"Seniors"::_::_::Nil,
_,_) => () =>Full(PermRedirectResponse("/Galleries/HighSchoolSeniors",
r))
}
LiftRules.dispatch.prepend{
case r @Req("Portraits"::"High-
School"::"Seniors"::_::_::_::Nil, _,_) => ()
=>Full(PermRedirectResponse("/Galleries/HighSchoolSeniors", r))
}
This gives me a beautiful 301 redirect, so the world is good. Google
will transfer any page rank and any old links will work.
But it seem like there should be a nicer way to do this for arbitrary
depth. I know that doesn't make much sense for an API, but it would
be nice for me if there was an equivalent of "/Portraits/High-School/
**" for arbitrary depth matching. This seems to work for errors, but
for a PermRedirectResponse, I need the r for the request input
parameter, so I need
I'm not complainin', I'm just learnin' There is certainly nothing
wrong with an extra line or three for each dispatch.
