Recite CMS gives you the ability to map arbitrary URLs back to pages in your site. This can be useful if you have a legacy URL that you want to keep.
For example, if your former site didn't use Recite CMS and you upgraded to Recite
CMS, you may have pages that are now accessible from a different URL. In this case, you
can use the URL Mapper widget to manage mapped URLs (available from
the widget browser in the Page Management category).
An alternative to using the URL mapper is to create a page type using the Redirect driver. This allows you to create pages (in the normal Recite CMS pages tree) to redirect to some other URL. This other URL can either be on your site or a third-party site.
To create a new mapped URL, click the button in the URL Mapper widget.
A dialog will now appear with options for creating the mapped URL. Enter the URL you want to redirect from, then select the page in your site that you want to redirect to.
Click to create the mapping. Once it has been saved it is immediately active.
When the page redirects, a HTTP 301 (Moved Permanently) status code is used.
If the URL you enter in the Redirect From field conflicts with a page that already exists on your site, then the URL mapping is ignored and the other page is used for that URL.
To edit a mapped URL, click link beside the mapped URL in the URL Mapper widget. A dialog will be shown with options for updating the mapped URL. Click to save your changes.
