Hi There!
I'm migrating a website to Drupal from a site that had really gnarly long urls with lots of vars... I'm wondering if there is any automatic way to deal with this?
Proposed scenario: in the long urls from the old site, there were variables such as "storyid=", when migrating this content to drupal, we've created a cck field for this data... So I'm wondering if there is a way to "catch" old links coming to our domain, get the 'storyid' out of the url, then redirect to the node that has that value in its cck field...
The old site had thousands of articles/links, can't imagine addressing each of them, or even defining a list to do so in bulk (but if you have an idea for that, call it plan B)
I'm wondering if there is a solution already out there for this, and if not, if anyone could point me toward the hooks/methods I should study/consider in order to build a custom module.
Cheers,
scot
