Hi All
Search engines, e.g. google, aren't translating search queries.
The previous community's thread https://community.qlik.com/thread/150985
is now
Therefore all current search engine results will end with
Best to search the community rather than using search engines for now.
Anyway I can manually transform an old link into a new link? It's criminal they've made this change support is now very hard to find.
No, you can't.
Old path and new content links are completely different.
So, if you (like me) stored some content in your browser bookmarks, now those links are completely lost.
Hope Qlik people are thinking about a redirection rules for the current website to make transition more smooth.
It will take some time until search engines crawl and index all contents with the new format (you can still get the previous to the previous URLs in some queries).
There is no way to manually convert former URLs to new ones, unless they build an app or macro for that. Former threads could have two URLs, one using keyword /thread/ID and the other /message/ID#ID
where ID was the numeric ID for the thread or message. As far as I can see, there is no "direct translation" between those.
Groups and spaces work, though, so there might be some work ongoing.
Finally, some links within threads will not work (e.g.: links within blog posts), include those that are pointing to the previous-previous Community (they didn't work in the previous one).
Okay now, after a few days, the general situation here in the new Qlik community is definitely better than at the beginning.
Search engines crawled pretty well, there are translation (redirections) from old to new path, so now I can easily access past (huge and extremely important) content.
In term of personal bookmarks, likes, badges etc, it seems there's still something to fix, but no worries, that is not a big issue.
In the end, everything is going to be okay, so kudos to Qlik staff!
