Hi
How technically did you set up your redirection?

HI!

Sorry for my late reaction - just forgotten to check the subscribe-button (I thought I checked it in my profile as a standard, anyway...)

First of all: Thanks for your answers. But... I don't understand... sorry:

@flop25: What do you mean with "technically"? On my provider-account at strato.de I can set up subdomains. And for a sub-domain I can set direction targets: internally (means: just a directory on my hole server - I can't define files like "index.php?...") or an external target: http://mh.web-poi.de/index.php?/category/1. On the external way I can choose a test-button to figure out, if the URL is valid. Using this test, the page is shown correctly. The same URL in the FireFox adress-line and no content or css will have any effect.

@rvelices: What's a "poorly written redirection"? "http://mh.web-poi.de/index.php?/category/1" seems to have all what a URL needs, hasn't it? And: I guess the message <<Stylesheet http://gekko.web-poi.de/_data/combined/learzv.css wasn't loaded, cause of his MIME-Typ, "text/html", insetad of "text/css">> seems to me to have no more question about the reason for no css-effects.  OK, images, javascripts and all that stuff that doesn't get into effect... well. BUT: On the test-Button, it works! I don't understand that...

So, how can I get my redirection "rich"? How to augment it?

Thanks and regards,

VH

EDIT:
Sorry.. that wasn't right what I said: http://mh.web-poi.de/index.php?/category/1 works well in the FireFox adress-line, but gekko.web-poi.de (in my simple mind just an alias for http://mh.web-poi.de/index.php?/category/1 without getting lost of information...) doesn't work. May that's the meaning of "poor"... So, my thought was, that the URL gekko.web-poi.de will work because of the external target - but that doesn't appear in the adress line... something in that way? OK, specialists: Got a chance using .htaccess to "show" piwigo the URL "http://mh.web-poi.de/index.php?/category/1" by using gekko.web-poi.de? I check that myself, too, I meant to remeber there was a topic a few month ago I was read...

But... When I use gekko.web-poi.de, ... checking... Ok, got it: "http://mh.web-poi.de/index.php?" generates the same result - so, in my redirection the parameters are getting lost, I think! OK, may be -if there's no .htaccess solution- I will redirect gekko.web-poi.de to an internal directory with an index.html and set in there the meta tag for refresh/redirect to "http://mh.web-poi.de/index.php?/category/1".

That will work, I think... to late now for a test...

Hello again... :-)

At least, I solved my quest. Thank you for your hints and suggestions!

Exactly, it wasn't a Piwigo-problem (How could that ever be, anyway...;-})

For those, who might be in a similar situation, here my solution:
0: piwigo ist installed under /piwigo and the suitable URL is http://mygallery.fr, for example.
1. Create a directory, to which your subdomain is directed (exp.: myalbum.mygallery.fr is directed to /piwigo/forwarder/myalbum.php)
2. in this directory, a file myalbum.php has to be found!
3. myalbum.php contains PHP-Code only, looks something like this (copy the address-line of your wanted album/subalbum, what ever):
<?php
header('Location: http://mygallery.fr/index.php?/category/1');
exit;
?>
4. If your provider doesn't support a redirection to a file, try to use a directory piwigo/forwarder/myalbum with an index.php within which contains the php-code. I didn't testet that, but I think it'll work.

That's all. Calling myalbum.mygallery.fr calls http://mygallery.fr/index.php?/category/1.

Thus, it's just an abbreviate call of a specific album (hope on a correct usage of the terms "gallery" and "album" in the Piwigo meanings...)

May be there's a more elegant way using .htaccess. But my knowledge to just to poor, even I don't know what searching for.

Thanks and bye till next time,

VH
