CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

These cases are working for me already:
1) the content at "example.com/node/3" is available at "example.com/test"
2) visiting "example.com/node/3" does a redirect to "example.com/test"
3) the content at "example.com/civicrm/event/register?id=2&reset=1" is available at "example.com/register"

This case is not working for me:
4) visiting "example.com/civicrm/event/register?id=2&reset=1" does a redirect to "example.com/register"

I have the alias set up using a forward slash before the question mark (which seems necessary to get case #3 working), but I have tried removing the forward slash, and that still does not get case #4 working. I installed and enabled the "Global Redirect" module and the "Path Redirect" module, thinking that they'd help, but I'm still lost.

Drupal 6.9
Civi 2.2.0

I'd like to have case #4 so that if a person visits the ugly url, they are taken to the pretty url.

Here are some scenarios where I imagine this behavior will be necessary:
scenario 1) CiviCRM presents the user with an auto-generated link to a page and uses an ugly URL
scenario 2) A URL has already been publicized, and then we make an alias for it

Here are some reasons I can think of that I'd like this behavior
reason 1) I'm trying to include Drupal blocks in some specific Civi pages, and the only way I can get this to work is if I use an alias for the URL
reason 2) search engine optimization (we don't want to serve duplicate content on two different URLs)

@acbs,

I've posted a solution to #3 at http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,18344.0.html
