Solution for URL issues

Question

CMS Joomla

I have created two seperate pages for an old Joomla 1:0 system The seo friendly option is unavailable and for various reasons I cant touch/update the joomla system

The chief executive wants to create a newletter with a specific url So Firstly I need to create this subdomain www.mydomain.co.uk/mysports to measure the success rate of the mail campaign

I also need to link that subdomain domain to the content page below http://www.mydomain.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=159&Itemid=278

What would you say are the best options for doing this in Joomla

Thanks

Answer 1

1. when you say "sub-domain" you probably mean "folder" or "sub-folder", not sub-domain.

2. if I'm correct about assumption #1 then what you want to do is easy: create a folder "mysports" under Joomla home. inside this folder create the following php file (call it "index.php"):

   < ?php header("Location: http://www.mydomain.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=159&Itemid=278"); ?>

and you're good to go.
