Hi there,

I have created a new website for a company and I would like all the previous search engine results to be redirected. Since there were quite a few pages and most of them where using an id I would like to use something generic instead of re-routing all the old pages.

My first thought was to do that:

Router::connect('/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display', 'home'));

And put that at the very end of the routes.php file [since it is prioritized] so that all requests not validating with previous route actions would return true with this one and redirect to homepage.

However this does not work.

I'm pasting my routes.php file [since it is small] hoping that someone could give me a hint:

    Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display', 'home'));

    Router::connect('/company/*', array('controller' => 'articles', 'action' => 'view'));

    Router::connect('/contact/*', array('controller' => 'contacts', 'action' => 'view'));

    Router::connect('/lang/*', array('controller' => 'p28n', 'action' => 'change'));

    Router::connect('/eng/*', array('controller' => 'p28n', 'action' => 'shuntRequest', 'lang' => 'eng'));

    Router::connect('/gre/*', array('controller' => 'p28n', 'action' => 'shuntRequest', 'lang' => 'gre'));


    Router::parseExtensions('xml');
