Don't know if this is a feature request, or part of the implementation.
If we are migrating from an existing site to a new site, we often want to map the URL's to the new items. So my questions are:
1. Does your module do this? I know it works for existing items that are moved....but I'm talking about items that were never in Umbraco to move.
2. Does this work with extensions outside of .aspx? .asp? .php?
3. One thing we've done in the past is if your module includes the functionality from #1, then anytime someone enters a url that is not found, then it creates a list of them. The admin can then go and administer them. If they are valid page content, then they can enter the new url for it. If it was an honest misspelling they can delete it.
This module is a great idea and I look forward to implementing it.
Yes, you can map all URL's manually to all content within the Umbraco installation, by following this step from the readme: When one wants to create a custom url mapping, just right-click
on the 301 URL Tracker node and click 'Create'. Select the document to
create the custom url mapping for There you can enter any URL you'd like with a note (optional), like /some/url, or /some/url.aspx or /some/url.whatever
Everything works, with .aspx, with .asp, with .php, with .something-else
It won't create a list, because it 'fixes itself'. When a none existing url is found, it looks in the URL Mapping list if it exists there and redirects the user to the correct page, with a 301 HTTP code (so Google for e.g. will save the new url)
Thanks for the compliments and good luck with the implementation. If you encouter a bug, please post is in the Bugs forum :)

what about a non existing url that does not have a correspondig mapping in the list? are those saved somewhere? so the admin can for example look at what pages need to be added with a custom mapping?

to go further on what was said here

Nope, they are not saved somewhere, but it's a little work to implement it, so I'll put it on the feature requests list ;-)
