Products (CGeCommerce) - Redirecting old product to new

We use CalGuys eCommerce suite extensively at www.stormforce.biz. We've been tweaking and modifying some of our products, and combining them into fewer pages for ease of navigation.

I've got a product (Let's call it A) which has been superseded by product B. Our site has many links to product A - as it is part of the Products Module we have to copy and paste these in (unless anyone has a better method!). If we disable product A, these result in an error page.

Is there a sensible way of handling this so I can put a redirect in place from Product A to Product B?

Thanks!

Jim

I should add - this is something we need to do for multiple products.

One solution would be to put redirects in your htaccess file fairly near the top:

Code: Select all

# Redirect old file path to new file path
Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://example.com/newdirectory/newfile.html
