Hello,

I am testing your module for a customer and it works great. My only question is do you intend of adding a time period per redirect rule. For example some redirects to work for a month or so and after that to be disabled automatically.

Thank you

We used rules for a while and it worked well. Now we moved with our project into the cloud and we encountered problems with rules. It seems that they are not thread safe. It's a tricky problem, because it only happens on production, where we have a lot of concurrent threads in different languages.

Is it already a known bug? Maybe it is a problem with Sitecore rules engine.

Hi,

I can't seem to get the module to redirect URL patterns to another URL.
As I'm trying to redirect to a part of the site that is not in the CMS, I need to redirect to a new URL.

I've tried many combinations but can't seem to get it to work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Example:
Requested Expression:
^/oldfolder/(.*)

Response Status Code:
301 Moved Permanently

Source Item:
/newfolder/$1

Hello,

Is this module compatible in Sitecore 9? I tried to install the module and upon changing the RedirectModule.Config values for the settings (below) to true

I am getting an exception:

Is there something else that I need to configure?

Hello,
I am testing your module for a customer right now with a multisite solution. And I wanted to know if there is a way to enable redirects only for a specific site-config.
The problem is if there are pages with the same names under different sites, your module will redirect both urls.

In current project readme file all image links are broken.

If a user is dragging a sitecore to the same location, but in a different sorting, the module will create a redirect item anyways, causing a infinite loop.

I presume that item of type Redirect Rule is not working as expected with Sitecore 8.2 update 2

Is it working for anyone else?

We have a requirement for redirecting the old site URLs to new site as per the information architecture in sitecore.

In the existing site we have URLs in below format

http://site.com/solutions?sid=1001

In this URL will be same and sid will be changing.

As per the information architecture in new site, we have an item for each sid. So we can access the above page in new site using below URL.

http://site.com/solutions/1001

Currently we have around 100 of these kind of pages and we are planning to write a regular expression for doing URL redirection. We already installed 301 redirect module available in market place. Can you please suggest us the proper regular expression which satisfy this requirement.

I am trying to use the below, but it is not working properly.
Source: ^?sid=(\w+)*
Target: /sitecore/content/MySite/Home/solutions/$1

I've uploaded the module and see it in my system folder. The templates are there, but where do i actually insert the template to redirect from one URL to another? I tried it in the product page and it didn't work. I am trying to redirect a page-product

Hi,

As a developer who's not too familiar with the internals of Sitecore, it would be great if the documentation could explain why one would choose a particular query type. Could the documentation be enhanced to explain how one might choose one method over another?

Thanks,
Simon

Hello, i'm having a problem with the redirect pattern item.

This is my setup:
Requested Expression: ^/assets/files/news/press_releases/.*\.pdf
Response Status Code: 301
Source Item: /sitecore/content/Home/News and Community/Press-Releases

The goal: all pdf's under /assets/files/news/press_releases/.../*.pdf are deleted so i'm redirecting all those to the route /News and Community/Press-Releases
The problem: the pdf's url's are giving 404 instead the redirection. i.e.: http://local.mysite.com/assets/files/news/press_releases/2016_PR/Custom-Release.pdf

Some information:

• The /sitecore/content/Home/News and Community/Press-Releases is a bucket
• if i point the Source Item to News and Community the redirect works
• if if enter on the address bar http://local.mysite.com/news-and-community/Press-Releases it works perfectly.
• The .pdf extension is included on Sitecore.config allowed extensions.

So.. what's going on? do i have something wrong?

Versioned redirects will through null exceptions until field names are corrected to match the unversioned redirect field names (Redirect To Item, Redirect To Url).

Do you want me to generate and send over an updated package?

I am working on sitecore 8.2 with package "301 Redirect Module-1.6". I am getting an error "Method not found: 'System.Web.HttpContextBase Sitecore.Pipelines.HttpRequest.HttpRequestArgs.get_HttpContext()'". Can you please help me.

Thanks

i am using this module , it is working fine untill i am using different oldpage name and new page name.
As soon as i have same new page having old page name it is not working.
/contact.asp to /home/contact.aspx
Not working.

I have asp as allowed extension.

without entering asp as allowed Language it is not working, it redirects to 404 page

Any Help or i am doing something wrong.

This seems like a really dumb question but I can't find the installation package for this module. There's nothing under releases and I don't see it in the repo

The install package is missing a few things that are in the source/serialisation.

• Modules Sitecore Domain
• Redirect Rules Definition Elements
• Redirect Rules Definition Tags

Hello, love the module, I just have a little issue...

The site I administer is over 3 years old and is constantly updated, as a consequence the Auto Generated URLs have accumulated over time into the many thousands, 7300 in fact. This became an issue because calls to extremely simple APIs were taking 2-3 seconds to respond.

It is definitely the Redirect Module causing the delay because I can see the time taken in Sitecores Admin Pipeline profiler. Also because the test web service is minimal code returning 'hello world'.

I of course deleted all the redirects the customer considered unnecessary, the remaining 700 redirects still have a delay of 1.2sec, this is (sort of) acceptable as a one time delay to load the webpage but its a big problem as a delay on web services, of which the site has many.

Is there some way to stop the redirects being triggered on Customer URLs? I tried patching my custom config to initialize the process before the redirect module but this had no effect on the delay. I can change the code myself but I would prefer an official answer to prevent accidental future overwrites.

Thanks!

The module does not officially support Sitecore 9 as per its marketplace page:
https://marketplace.sitecore.net/Modules/301_Redirect_module.aspx

When installing module to Sitecore 9, it leads to following exception in various part of Sitecore Client user interface:

I believe there is an issue with the code in the RedirectProcessor in the method AllowRedirectsOnFoundItem when you are using Language Fallback.

There is the following line in the method:
var redirectFolderRoot = db.SelectSingleItem(redirectRoot);

It appears that using the SelectSingleItem() method does not seem to adequately support language fallback of the root folder item.

I changed this line to use the db.GetItem() method and this appears to properly support language fallback of the root folder item.

Hi,
Is it exist any settings for hide/group notification about redirect to some item.
Some users don't want to see them.

Does this work within item buckets and in a multisite solution?

Sitecore.NET 8.1 (rev. 160519)

I am trying to set up a redirect rule to redirect every page from one url to another url with the same sub-page pathing.

EX:
Rule 1
where the URL contains https://websiteexample.com
replace the static https://websiteexample.com with the static https://differentwebsite.com

Response Status Code [standard value]: 301 Moved Permanently

I want it to function so no matter what sub-page I am on, the redirect still works.

EX:
input domain: https://websiteexample.com/AboutUs.aspx
redirects to: https://differentwebsite.com/AboutUs.aspx

This currently does not function.

I cannot find the source for this, just the compiled assemblies in the data folder?

Hi,

I tried installing this package using the Sitecore Installation wizard in Sitecore desktop but cannot see the redirect module within the System/Modules folder. Am i missing anything?

Thanks in advance,

We are using the Redirect module heavily for URLs, but are expanding to the Pattern redirects due to social media links. We are using them to make "short links" like site.org/HotLink. We are seeing the redirect fail if the Source Item has a dash. Wondering if anyone has seen this?

WORKS: /sitecore/content/MySiteRoot/DestinationOne
WORKS: /sitecore/content/MySiteRoot/Destination One
FAILS: /sitecore/content/MySiteRoot/Destination-One

Our pattern is pretty simple: ^(.)site.org/hotlink(.)$

When moving a item in the siteroot, the redirect module create a autogenrated redirect, but the requested Url is wrong.

Example:
Siteroot/Testmove is moved to Siteroot/child/testmove
The requested url is set to: //testmove

I believe it is because of this line in AutoCreateRedirectOnMove.cs. Getting the path to the oldParent when the parent is siteroot will result in a / as the url:
string oldPath = LinkManager.GetItemUrl(oldParent).Replace("/sitecore/shell", "") + "/" + LinkManager.GetItemUrl(item).Split('/').Last();

When added another / before the items new url with result in "//".

I have resolved this by modifying this a bit:

var parentPath = LinkManager.GetItemUrl(oldParent).Replace("/sitecore/shell", ""); if (!parentPath.Equals("/") && parentPath.Length > 0) parentPath += "/"; string oldPath = parentPath + LinkManager.GetItemUrl(item).Split('/').Last();

Hi!

Thanks for your work on this project. It was easy to get up and running.

I'm interested in deploying this for my client, but I'm not altogether clear on what the license is. Could you add a LICENSE file or point out which, if any, license this is released under? Gotta make sure the lawyers are satisfied 😉

Thank you!

Is there any way to get the module install zip package of 301 redirect module compatible with sitecore 10.0 instead of downloading a project.

Hey, this works fine in 8.1 for me one issue i had though was that the field Response Status Code in the template redirect base didnt have an english version.
That meant it didnt publish the field to web and the app threw an exception when trying to get it (the if/else doesnt check for null first, probably worth adding)
Adding the english version of the field and republishing fixed the issue.
Only other things that may have helped is i rebuild with the 8.1 kernel and the .net app framework 4.5.2.

Upgraded package version 1.9 doesn't work with sitecore 10. Created a requested url for redirecting but it doesn't work
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I installed this module on sitecore 9 successfully with no errors. However, it doesn't work. I tried Redirect Url and Redirect Pattern Sample, and none of the worked.

I was wondering i you could let me know what I am missing.

Thanks

Hello! as the title says... it's possible to create a 404 redirect with this module?

hi,

not really an issue but just a question regarding cm 10 support. is it planned for near future? and if so, can u tell a potential release date? otherwise we'll fork it and maybe can contribute the working version.

kind regards

I am currently interested in trying out your module but the link for the new Sitecore 9 verison http://trac.sitecore.net/301RedirectModule is not working. Could you please rehost this or fix the original link.

Thank you

Hello, i'm trying to redirect an existing page (Url Redirect item) to another existent page and it doesn't work at all.

The configuration is:
Requested Url: /Careers
Response Status Code: 301
Redirect To Item: /MyNewCareers

The /Careers item exists
The /MyNewCareers item exists

if i go to my site root /Careers it goes to /Careers and no to /MyNewCareers
if i change the Requested Url setting to /testing (item doesn't exists), then if i go to my site root /testing, the redirect works and it goes to /MyNewCareers

Why this is happening? do i miss something?

Does the exact match redirect support # in the URL

We do have urls similar to the below in our site that we are trying to redirect to, but I think # character in the URL is creating a problem and does not work. Do I have another way to support this kind of URL? Appreciate your reply.

https://testsite.com/xx/control-product/regulators/flow/regulator-295#!/prod-title=specialt-product-113

Considering an example below:

www.example.com/policy - redirect to global policy
www.example.ca/policy - redirect to policy page of Cannada only

As of now, redirects are global to all sites running in a sitecore node.
In multisite solution, it will be great if redirects are specific to a single site. We can fall back to global if needed.

Please see master branch created by me, let me know your thoughts on this.

Note: Feature Branch is not code complete.

Wanted to know team taught before I complete it and send a pull request.

Hello,
I wonder if it would be possible to add a textfield for httpcode which would put codes 302 or 301. You could set the default value to 301.

I was wondering if we can have the request url field unversioned
does that allow us use the same item for other langauges?
like
/welcome --> /en-us/weclomepage for the English version
/welcomen --> /de-du/welcomen for the Dutch version

there are some 600+ redirect definitions created in Sitecore, it seems to fetch those redirects multiple times in pipeline processor, from our Dynatrace noticed that nearly 1sec is spent towards calling below method during request execution

is there a way we can optimize this?

Hi,

I'm attempting to test this on my development server, but it's not working. I was initially getting an error in the logs because I forgot to publish the templates, but now, the logs are clean yet it's still not redirecting when I use either option. I'm running Sitecore 6.6.

I needed to use this to migrate from a PHP based site, and it took some work to figure out how. So I thought I would share the knowledge. These instructions are for IIS6, although I'm sure you can derive how to do it in IIS7 easily.

1. Add the extension mapping in IIS for your site.

Go to properties for your site, Home Directory, Configuration button, Mappings tab, Add...

Executable: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
Note: The above path will be different for you if you use x64 or a different version of .net. Just use the same path that is mapped to the .aspx extension and it will work.
Extension: .php
All Verbs
Script engine: checked
Verify that file exists: UNCHECKED (very important)
Click OK

2. Tell Sitecore to process php files:

Open Web.config
Do a search for: Sitecore.Pipelines.PreProcessRequest.FilterUrlExtensions
Underneath that line, there is a parameter for "Allowed extensions". Add php to the list.

DONE! Now you can add rules to this module that redirect .php files. You can do this exact same process for other extension types like .html, .jpg/.gif/.png, .pdf, etc as well if you need to redirect those. Hope that saves someone a few hours of research!

I'm not sure if it being version 8.1 has anything to do with it, but a default install only has the English language.

/sitecore/templates/Redirect Module/Redirect Base/Information/Response Status Code doesn't have an English version and doesn't get published to the Web database, and then the code gives a YSOD when it can't find the Status Item.

Creating English language versions of the fields solved it for me.

Thanks!
