Let's say I'm mapping old jr4 links to a new jr5 website. So in url mapper I set /Firstname_Lastname => /firstname-lastname, which works, but if my artist has an old link on his website like /Firstname_Lastname/ (with the ending slash) it won't work.

What's the possibility of making it work whether or not the ending slash is there?

Actually, what you are trying works for me even without the URL Mapper module.

/firstname-lastname
/firstname_lastname
/firstname_lastname/

all take me to /firstname-lastname so this must be inherent within JR

I don't think that's quite the same.

Here's a screenshot of jr4's naming (note the url bar and the "Not Found")

Here's a screen shot if I have entered "/David_Fuglewicz => /dave-fuglewicz" in Url Mapper and then the link is "http://tapegerm.com/David_Fuglewicz". It works only for this specific link.

However, if the link is "http://tapegerm.com/David_Fuglewicz/" it returns a Not Found.

When Apache sees the trailing "slash" it may be looking for "David_Fuglewicz" as a directory (which mod_rewrite would keep from coming into Jamroom's router, so it wouldn't see it).

I'll see if there is a work around for this.
