Updating URLs in 2.0

Good CB people,

Just upgraded from 1.9.1 to 2.0.7. Joomla version is 3.4

My current user profile URLs are set as follows:
index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userprofile&user=XXXX&Itemid=WWWW

The new user profile URLs are set as follows:
index.php?option=com_comprofiler&user=XXXX&view=userprofile&Itemid=WWWW

New sef and non-sef URLS are being generated for existing links and profiles.

My question is how can I prevent these duplicate URLS? How can we redirect new urls to the existing? Disabling Joomsef does not help.

Change "task" to "view". That's the only change to be complaint with Joomla URL usage. We support both at this time though as we just map task to view internally so your URLs won't break.

Kyle,

Are you suggesting that we replace "task" in existing links? We have hundreds of those from many years and I wont want to miss my rankings.

I was hoping there's a way to not create new links for existing items or redirect to the old.

Yes, task doesn't exist in Joomla. It hasn't since Joomla 1.6 and is now view. CB supports both though so you can do whatever you like really.

We already internally support both so you don't have to do anything at all. Eventually the task to view mapping will be removed though so at some point you'll need to change the URLs over or add an htaccess rule to change them before they reach Joomla.

Thanks. I'll use htaccess.

FOlks, I could use help. How do I go about using the right htaccess redirect code if I want to redirect

from: index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userprofile&user=XXXX
to: index.php?option=com_comprofiler&user=XXXX&view=userprofile

Here's what I have at the moment:
RewriteRule ^option=task=userProfile&user=(.*)$ index.php?option=com_comprofiler&view=userprofile&user=$2 [L]
