Hi,

I have a site which has a static content (pages) part and a blog (posts). The pages are categorized by sections and posts by categories and tags. I'm using Pathauto to create readable URLs with General Redirect to prevent direct access by term IDs (which I don't like).

I want the blog categories to be accessible as terms (I set up aliases for them) and I want the page sections not to be accessible at all.

I couldn't find a way to disable the /taxonomy/term/xx paths for the sections. For the blog posts it works when I set aliases.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
Zviki

Have you tried the path redirect module?

Thanks.

Does it work properly on 6.6? I see it is not released.

The path_redirect does not work. I removed all possible aliases and add a redirect from taxonomy/term/xx to my front page. Nothing. It still takes me to the taxonomy page.

Any other ideas?

There is a module called global redirect. Perhaps try that, but I'm not sure it will work.

UPDATE: Just found this:

I installed the taxonomy_redirect which is exactly what I was looking for (which is an indication I'm not crazy :-).

However, I can't get this to work. Everything looks OK when configuring the redirects, but when I submit a redirect I get two messages:

* Saved redirect
* Redirects deleted

The redirect is added to the configuration, but it does not work. Is this a bug? Something wrong with my configuration?

Have a look at the module's issue queue, perhaps your question has been addressed there.

Thanks for your help.
