Blogger - Redirect when you change Blog URL

-

Recently I changed URL of my blog from giorgioguerrieri.blogspot.com to webdevshareetc.blogspot.com.
I know that my posts linked in facebook, google+, twitter have the old URL, so I search for a solution, a way to redirect post giorgioguerrieri.blogspot.com/2010/eccccc to webdevshareetc.blogspot.com/2010/eccccc, without 404 or other annoying message of Page Not Found.
So, I googled but nothing.

I found my solution with this process.
NOTE: it works if you have a personal site and it's used not for personal site. I use my site for development, so when you navigate to www.giorgioguerrieri.it your browser redirect to my blog.

You have change URL of your blog (giorgioguerrieri to webdevshareetc.blogspot.com)

Create a new blog with URL equals to old URL (new blog giorgioguerrieri.blogspot.com)

Go to Settings in new Blog and set Redirect to your public domain (I've www.giorgioguerrieri.it).

Important! You have to insert URL as "www.yourdomain.com?", yes, with "?".

Save settings and test: when you navigate to your new blog (with old URL), you navigate to your site.

Now, go to ftp of your site and modify index.php (I use php, but you can do this with your language).

function curPageURL() {
 $pageURL = 'http';
 if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
 $pageURL .= "://";
 if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
 } else {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
 }
 return $pageURL;
}

  $urlpage = curPageURL();
  $pos = strpos($urlpage, '?/');
  if($pos > 0)
  {
  $urlpage = substr($urlpage, $pos+1);
  $urlpage = "http://webdevshareetc.blogspot.com" . $urlpage;
  }

header("location: " . $urlpage);


If you navigate to "http://blog.blogspot.com/2010/10/post.html", blogger asks you to redirect to "http://www.yourdomain.com?/2010/10/post.html".
Note the "?/...."
Then your index.php takes URL, cut from "?" and compose URL with "http://newurlblo.blogspot.com" + "/2010/10/post.html".
Then redirect (header("location")) to new URL correct page!

You can do other redirect from index.php simply checking if exists "?/" or not in the received URL.
In my script, if there's no "?/", I redirect to home of new Blog.

I hope this help you!

Sharepoint 2010 - Multilanguage Site - Show column in current language

In multilanguage site feature, Sharepoint 2010 does not translate content of web part and metadata. We have to find a way to show to user content or metadata in current language. I used a list with columns with content in language and a lot of jquery to show and hide columns for current language. I have a list with "DescriptionIT" and "DescriptionEN" columns. Then, I set a view with both columns visible. In this view, I added a content query web part whit code below. In this code, I search for current language, i.e. "Italian", then search for column with "DescriptionIT", and hide all columns but "DescriptionIT" (with name starting with "Decsription"). Result is that if I change language (with Select Display Language), I see only column in respective language. Simple and cross platform. Here the code: <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type=&quo
