redirecting dead wiki links ( linuxsecrets.com/tinycorelinux-wiki/ )

(1/3) > >>

mocore:
many links around the forum point to [Link deleted, Wiki is fixed.  Rich] which is currently 404

eg http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,24017.msg151374.html#msg151374


using : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/redirector/ ( perhaps other similar extensions  exist and could also work ??)

and the below regexp & redirector con-fig

--- Code: ---Example redirect, try going to [Link deleted, Wiki is fixed.  Rich]
Redirect:^[Link deleted, Wiki is fixed.  Rich]([a-zA-Z0-9_:]*)
to:http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/doku.php?id=$1
Hint:send old 404 wiki mirror links to the actual wiki
Example:[Link deleted, Wiki is fixed.  Rich] → http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/doku.php?id=dcore:faq
Applies to: Main window (address bar)



--- End code ---

the old broken links will now find new working wiki :D

hope some find this method useful

i guess similar redirector rule could be a temporary workaround  for the old wiki links mentioned hear: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,25957.msg166649.html#msg166649

@mocore: I just ran a basic search (top right of this page, for example) and came across two posts referring to [Link deleted, Wiki is fixed.  Rich]
(This post will likely now be the third.)
Yes, it's sad when third party sites clean house and things get lost in the wind, but in this case, it might just be easier to update the links in question on the board as opposed to installing firefox extensions (for those who even use FireFox, that is.)

Rich:
Hi CentralWare
I've already started tracking down the posts with  linuxsecrets  and fixing those links.

Rich:
Hi CentralWare
Fixed 65 posts that dealt with actual questions and answers.

I couldn't fix this one:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,24278.msg154005.html#msg154005
I get the following error when clicking the Save or Preview button:

Besides this thread, there are 9 other threads containing  [Link deleted, Wiki is fixed.  Rich]  all of
which refer to the Wiki being down. I saw no point in changing them.

just ftr ... there is a chrome build of redirector ( afair browser extensions are *now* more or less incompatible format , common api's ect  )
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/redirector/ocgpenflpmgnfapjedencafcfakcekcd

while the updates and maintenance (THANKS! * admins / mods ect) are  very much appreciated !! (seasoned greetings btw)
its best not to add to much to the `admin task stack`

with this in mind  redirector  extension puts the regex in the hands of those who browse  8)
