I’m moving a good number of entries from one channel to another.  These entries were all under a category, but after a while it makes more sense for it to have its own channel and a few different fields.

The new channel will have a new URL structure (a new template group & template).

I’d like to move all of the old entries and have EE redirect to the new template properly.

What’s the best way within EE to accomplish this?

Best logic?:
if entry = new channel && segment 2 != new template group
then redirect to template group/ template/ entry

Leads me to:

{if channel=="new_channel" && segment_2 != "new_template_group"}
{redirect ?}
{/if}

How do I specify the entry name in the redirect?  Any attempt I’ve made has failed and I’ve only been able to redirect to index or static pages.

For those those are in the same situation, you can use url_title and such inside the redirect, I just never tried it with another set of {}

Sample:

{exp:channel:entries limit="1"}
{if channel_short_name=="new_channel"}
  {redirect="new-template-group/template/{url_title}"}
{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Hey VodkaFish,

Thank you for posting your question here on the ExpressionEngine forums.

Are you all set now? Is there anything else I can help with?

Cheers,

I’m set
