Ok so I’ve been working on the migration of my site from TXP to EE, so far all is good, I’m pretty much done from a technical standpoint but the last step is to make sure that I don’t break the internets so I need to re-route all the inbound linky goodness to the new site.

Textpattern has URLs in the format:

/journal/560/this-is-my-entry-title

I’d like to use the same format in EE so I have switched url title separators to be dash rather than underscore but entry numbers will not tally since the import process I have used does not maintain entry id numbers.

So… I’m looking to use the url_title to identify the relevant entry. The aspect I’m stuck with is the actual rewriting using mod_rewrite, at present I have the following in my htaccess but it ain’t doing nought:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1
RewriteRule ^journal/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ /site/$2 [L]

Any pointers…?
