shorter routes addon and xenforo 2.0

Hi,

---

I need some help with the redirects. Planning an upgrade of forum running 1.5 xenforo and the new version does not support the shorter routes addon.

I tried and tested the method here to redirect but it doesn't work so posting here for some guidance:
https://xenforo.com/community/threads/th-shorter-routes.89963/page-3

Once I upgrade to xf 2, the URLs will be

mydomainforum.com/forums/name-of-the-sub-forum.f2/
mydomainforum.com/threads/nam-of-the-threadtopic.t2/

Shorter Routes addon was taking "/forums/" out of the URL. I will probably use route filters to eliminate that extra "forums" in the url to this:
mydomainforum.com/f/name-of-the-sub-forum.f2/
mydomainforum.com/t/nam-of-the-threadtopic.t2/

What should the nginx conf file have for redirect to work, from old urls to this?

 

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I can but it would not redirect search traffic to new structure.

 

Code:

    rewrite ^/[^\./]+\.f([0-9]+)/$ /forums/$1/ permanent;
    rewrite ^/[^\./]+\.t([0-9]+)/(.*)$ /threads/$1/$2 permanent;

I used the above rewrite code in nginx conf but it doesn't help. I'd appreciate it if someone has another solution?

I need to redirect https://www.domain.com/forums/sub-forum-name.01/ to
