Affiliate redirect

Hi!

I am transferring my site to a new domain and need to redirect the affiliates somehow. What would be the best way to do this?

Just redirect the affiliates links manually by doing: www.myoldsite.com/?partner_id=1 to www.newsite.com/?partner_id=1

And then redirect the banners by going: www.myoldsite/image1.jpg to www.newsite.com/image1.jpg ?

Thanks for your help

Thanks Nicolas,

Would this work also? extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-ma...url-redirection/7189

Sorry Nicolas, I am not understanding this very well. What I have done is redirected the banners like this myoldsite.com/160x600-1.jpg to mynewsite.com/160x600-1.jpg and have transferred all the joomla and Hikashop users from the old site to the new site.

Now, do I need to redirect the affiliates personal links? I cant seem to find where their links are located to redirect them, or dont I need to do this?

I have redirected each page of the old site to the news site fyi.

Thanks

Hi Nicolas,

Yes, I redirected each one by one which I am happy to do to keep the Google ranking etc. Where do I find the personal links to redirect them? They are not shown anywhere in the backend that I can see?

Also, could you please tell me where the hikashop alpha user points are stored, and how to transfer them to the new site?

Thanks

Hi there,

You can find the links in the banners you created. Then you have to add the partner id with ?partner_id=xx or &partner_id=xx
About the alphauser points plugin, it's related to the plugin itself. There should be a table named key_alphauserpoints in your database.

Thanks Eliot,

I have another question. Can the affiliate links be converted to SEF links?

Thanks

Hi there,

yes you can do something like /partner_id-xx/
