htaccess redirect url by adding parameters

Question

Need Guidance of 301 redirecting Url through htaccess matching specific format

Existing URL

http://www.example.com/index.php?option=com_toys&limitstart=20

Proposed URL

http://www.example.com/index.php?option=com_toys&view=list&Itemid=2&limitstart=20

Here limitstart may change to 0,20,40,60 to even 1000 and thus should remain same in the new proposed url too

Can anyone advise on to redirect using htaccess of above

This sounds more like a PHP issue than an .htaccess issue. Aren't you passing through Itemid and view as _GET parameters? — Obsidian Age

Well i am but unfortunately Google crawl has crawled some pages like the existing url, so as to have sync - is considering a htaccess solution so as to redirect all in same format as in proposed url. — Ruchika

You need to match query string using RewriteCond using a regex to capture both parameters:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(option=com_toys)&(limitstart=\d+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?index\.php$ %{REQUEST_URI}?%1&view=list&Itemid=2&%2 [L,NC,R=301]

Hi thanks - but its displaying in incorrect url :- http://www.example.com/index.php?view=list&Itemid=2&option=com_toys&limitstart=120 instead of http://www.example.com/index.php?option=com_toys&view=list&Itemid=2&limitstart=120

It is actually same URL just that parameters are in different order.

This will impact in Search as Google crawl will treat it as duplicate url, is it possible to get parameters in same order
