Quoting Alida Saxon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi everyone,
I was wondering, is there an easy way to redirect traffic away from a site's
shop, without having to directly change all the links that go to that shop?
Unfortunately the shopping cart doesn't have a "store closed" function.
Beyond the shop, it is a simple ASP site with includes, the store is in
subfolders beyond domain.com/shop/
It wouldn't be a big deal if all I had to do was modify the menu links, but
the site's got a lot of individual product links that I'd have to search and
replace on. If there was any way to cut that work down, it'd be great.
Thanks in advance,
Alida
Alida,
How are the links to the items structured? Are they all unique? If so
(and you're using Apache to host the website), you could use
mod_rewrite and redirect all requests for items to a single page
stating the shop is closed. If not, then you have a choice (these are
all using Apache coz it's what I know, however I'm sure that someone
here could help you do something similar if you use a legacy windows
system):
1) rename the page that displays items and the index page for the
shop, then use .htaccess to display a custom 404 stating that the shop
is closed
2) Use some kind of regex foo to grep the links in every page and
remove them automatically
3) manually remove the links from every page.
Hope this helps, if you want any more advice or any further details,
feel free to ask.
Cheers,
Matt
