How to convert a page address into a sub-domain url?

[mainspring]

Hi guys I am trying to make this work but still no results. I have my blog at mypage.com/blog so I used
RewriteRule ^/blog/(.*)$ http://blog.mypage.com/$1 [R=301,L]
but nothing actually happened. Do you have any suggestions?
thank you

No need to make a rewrite rule. Create a menu item of type eternal url.

[mainspring]

well if I create menu item with this link blog.mypage.com then nothing will happen as there is nothing in the subdomain folder. or did I missed something?

thank you

why nothing in it when you want to redirect to it?

[mainspring]

i need all articles in blog to look like this:
blog.mysite.com/article1
instead of
www.mysite.com/blog/article1

If (on www. site.com) you create a menu item type external url ... then the link will redirect site.com/blog to blog.site.com. Whichever way you redirect you will need something in blog.site.com

I need only one installation of joomla so I though I can do this with .htaccess where I would redirect all links to mysite.com/blog to blog.mysite.com anyone knows how to do it?

thank you

It's not supported by Joomla. You need the extension a linked to in my previous post.

Whatever method you use to redirect mysite.com/blog to blog.mysite.com then you need content in blog.mysite.com. That is because once the browser is redirected to blog.mysite.com it will try to read blog.mysite.com.

I suspect that you want the url to say blog.mysite.com but still be reading mysite.com/blog. If that is the case then:
At the top of the .htaccess of mysite.com have

Code: Select all

# This allows you to redirect mysite.com/blog to blog.mysite.com
Redirect /blog/* http://blog.mysite.com

In the subdomain blog.mysite.com have index.html with

Code: Select all

 <iframe src="mysite.com/blog"></iframe> 

Then if you have 'Blog' as a top level menu item that links to your Joomla blog (and your site does not append html) ... then when it is clicked the browser will redirect to blog.mysite.com but show mysite.com/blog

That will allow the url to be blog.mysite.com without you moving your blog from inside Joomla.

You will need to try it to see if you can return to Home (or other page in mysite.com) to see if mysite.com is shown in the url. (It should do but if it doesn't then you might need a .htaccess in blog.mysite.com to redirect everything except /blog back to myblog.com.)

Note that the folder for the subdomain (blog.mysite.com) needs to be:
1. In the same folder as your Joomla's configuration.php
and
2. The folder that the subdomain (blog.mysite.com) points to should not be called 'blog'.

This redirect rule should work properly:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^/blog/(.*)$ http://blog.mypage.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Flush cache after creating the rule and then try to visit the URL.

In that case, Joomla Redirection Components allow you to easily convert a page address into a sub-domain URL. You can also repair all broken links.
