Hi

My old store site (with 200 products) is in different platform. Now i am setting up my new site in DNN using catalookstore. 

From the documentation i noticed that i need to create a page for each product and redirect it to the product page. Then setup 301 redirect for it. 

Is this the only way to do it? So i need to create nearly 200 pages for the products?

Can you please suggest me if there is an other better way to do this.


Thanks

Dilip

This approach would work if you are assigning a specific DNN page to each Catalook product.  Normally, the catalook module uses a single (or small number) of 'product' pages, and the module itself decides which product to show based on the Url.

If you're not assigning a unique DNN page per product, then you can't redirect all the Urls that way, because the module only allows for a redirect to be created when the target of the redirect is a DNN page.

However, there are other ways of using the module to redirect your old Urls - perhaps you could show me some examples of old and new Urls for the same product?

Did the old store Urls mean something?   In your case - you have c -22 -26 - did this means something like category 22, product id 26?

You need a custom solution because the Urls you're redirecting to are all catalook specific Urls.

How soon do you need these redirects?  I'm working on a new provider for Catalook right now, I might have a look at expanding the features to be able to redirect arbitrary Urls like these ones to a specified product/category.
