URI redirect

[jasondrane]

Hi All,

I am curious. Is there a plugin/module to redirect a ¨page¨ to a existing URI in the system. Rather than duplicating the content for two pages, creating a menu selection in two different place for the same page?

Hi and welcome

not sure if this is what you looking for:

Hi Jason,

if you're doing it just for a few pages, you don't need any module/plugin; you can do this simply by using templates!

• Create field 'redirectTo' – customizable, of course
  
• Set that field to be 'single page', and select the inputfield you wish
  
• Create template 'redirectPage' – again, custom
  
• put following code in your template file
  
• Create page that links to original page
  
• you've made your virtual page
  

Code for your template:

<?php
/*
 * Template: redirectPage
 *
 * Used to redirect URL adress to other page with 301 HTTP code
 */
$session->redirect( $page->redirectTo->url );

I actually use this at least once each site.
