Redirects Module

A new BlueBox redirect module has been created to handle redirecting and issuing of 404 Page Not Found errors when front-end web content changes or is moved.

The module can be accessed via Publishing -> URL Redirects. The following fields are available when setting up a new redirect:

Url: This is a part or the full url that needs to be redirected. It excludes the host. ie: /?login . It  can also be blank (will redirect the entire domain)

Type: A redirect can be either Permanent, Temporary, 404 or Template. The correct type should be chosen to indicate to any search engines how this url should be handled. For 404 (Not Found) and Template, the Template box can be used to display a custom message.

Redirect Url: If Permanent or Temporary type is chosen, the destination url should be set here.

Template: If Template or 404 type is chosen, a custom template can be set to display.

User Logged In: Will apply the redirect/template to only users either logged in, logged out, or both.

Order: Will prioritize redirects should multiple redirects match the same url. Only one redirect will be run.

Redirects take priority over all module/page links, and so should be used only when necessary.
