vb.org Archive - need help with apache .htaccess redirect.....

ok, so i've manager to basically integrate a ning music network with vbulletin for the most part, but what i want to be able to do, is whenever someone clicks on a user profile......

instead of going to that member profile.......

i want them to be able to go to thier music profile, or at least add in a user profile in the usercp dropdown or something........

the redirect i was attempting that does not work is.......

Code:

redirect 301 /folder/ http://www.hiphopnetwork.net/forums/member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=

redirectMatch 301 ^/folder/ http://www.hiphopnetwork.net/forums/member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=

redirectMatch 301 ^/folder/$ http://www.hiphopnetwork.net/forums/member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=

redirectMatch 301 ^/folder/(.+)$ http://www.networkhiphop.com/profile/$1

both the user ID on the hiphopnetwork and the ning network are the same so unless i'm missing something that should work

or if we can't do that i tried to add in an option to the usercp dropdown...

Code:

                <template name="navbar_usercp_menu" templatetype="template" date="1209841554" username="Atakan KOC" version=""><![CDATA[<if condition="$show['popups'] AND $show['member']">

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="usercpnmenu_menu" style="display:none">

        <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">                

        <tr><td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_control_panel]</a></td></tr>        

        <if condition="$show['pmstats']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><font color="white"><a href="private.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[private_messages]</a></td></tr></if>

        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><font color="white"><<a href="subscription.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[subscribed_threads]</a></td></tr>

        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><font color="white"><<a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofile">$vbphrase[edit_your_details]</a></td></tr>

      <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><font color="white"><<a href="http://www.networkhiphop.com">Join The Network - Create Your Own Artist Profile </a></td></tr>

        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><font color="white"><<a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editoptions">$vbphrase[edit_options]</a></td></tr>

        <tr><td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]">Network Artist Options</td></tr>

        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><font color="white"><<a href="http://www.networkhiphop.com/profile/$post[musername]">$vbphrase[your_profile]</a></td></tr>

        </table>

</div>

</if>
