converting from categories to tag? a serendipity bug?
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2007 10:28 pm
I've been trying to cleanly handle the switch from categories to tags by doing some fancy url rewriting using mod_rewrite, and I'm pulling out my hair.
After giving up in frustration at not being able to match what seems like a simple match, I decided to give up and just manually put in a rewrite rule for each of my categories specifically.
That didnn't work either. I don't understand this at all. SO in an effort to make things even SIMPLER I decided to try something really, really simple, and it doesn't work either.
here's the rule I'm using:
this just results in a 404.
Nothing I do will cause rewriting to a tag to work. Any idea why this is?
I've tried rewriting to a full canonical url like http://hostname/plugin/tag/nameoftag as well, and it doesn't work either.
Has anyone successfully rewritten to a tag?
