I Use Joomla 1.5 K2 and SEF is enable

 

My problem is not related to K2 but I really need help.

I want to change some of the menu's items. I want to bring out some of the submenu out of the menu since the sef is enabled if I do this urls which are indexed in search engine would display.

I've studied alot  about redirect rules in apache and mode_redirect

and use this code in .htaccess:

 

---

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^articles/video-audio/digital-camera/item/([0-9]+)-(.*)$ www.domain.com/home/av/digital-camera/item/$1-$2 [R=301,L]

---

but does not work, I've asked it in many forums include joomla and apache forum but no one could help me.

 

Maybe there is a extension or solution that help me redirect old urls to new one after changing menu orders.

 

Thank you in advance for any kind of advice or clue.
