I manage a couple of multi-site umbraco installations. In this scenario, the NiceUrl property of a Node changes from something like /my-path/my-page to http://my-domain.com/my-path/my-page.
At the moment, Url Tracker only allows root relative Urls (i.e. starting
with a slash). Would it be possible for Url Tracker to support Urls that include the full scheme and authority?
P.S. Willing to contribute to this excellent project. It's more or less exactly solves what I had in mind for my own project (a UrlRewriting.config wrapper that didn't pan out).
Secondly; We're going to migrate a few websites into a single Umbraco installation soon, so I will have to change the 301 URL Tracker. I haven't thought about this yet, so thanks for the heads up. Can't say yet when I have the time to look into this, but I hope it will be tonight :-)
Small update: I started extending the 301 URL Tracker to support multi-site projects. It's progressing nicely, so I think I'll be able to release a new version on monday or tuesday :-)
I'm in the middle of transferring three sites to a single umbraco install at the moment. Got quite a bit of work to do yet, so there's a bit of time before I have to configure all the redirects (for Google's sake).
Would be great if it was ready in time for go live though... don't envy setting up hundreds of redirect rules in URLRewriting.config ;)
Not sure if this is the best way, but I wrote an SQL view to normalise all the content, then used CMSImport to do the rest. Quite a bit of manual work to do fixing the links and hooking up all the images though. Thankfully I could at least get them all at once with Import Media.
Just a short update: I'm not able to implement this feature before the end of August. This is because I'm very busy writing my dissertation/thesis, sorry...
Thanks Stefan. I have it running on our dev server at the moment, but haven't been able to get it redirecting properly yet. That may be something to do with a conflicting handler - our site is pretty custom now. The backend UI works perfectly, but the redirects just aren't actually... redirecting... yet :P
Assuming I get it figured out, I will of course mark the issue as solved.
Thanks for your persistance Stefan. Yes, I've got the site configured properly in IIS - Integrated mode all the way :)
I figured out what the problem was. I had a dud entry in 404handlers.config. Even though it was after InfoCaster.Umbraco._301UrlTracker, the fact that there was a reference to a missing assembly obviously throws the whole thing off!

First; I'm glad you like the package :-)

Awesome! Thanks for the update :)
Ben, this feature is a little bit delayed, because I've got a lot to do at work and school lately.
Sorry 'bout that!
No problem Stefan, I understand.

Ah, well you could help me too btw!
We want to transfer 2 single Umbraco installations into one other installation. How are you doing this?
Not sure if this is the best way, but I wrote an SQL view to normalise all the content, then used CMSImport to do the rest. Quite a bit of manual work to do fixing the links and hooking up all the images though. Thankfully I could at least get them all at once with Import Media.
Hmm, that's a pity...
I think this is the worst shortcoming of Umbraco; importing and exporting content decently :-/
Hi Ben,
Just a short update: I'm not able to implement this feature before the end of August. This is because I'm very busy writing my dissertation/thesis, sorry...
Thanks for the heads up Stefan. Keep me posted when you get back into it.
I will :-)
Just released the 301 URL Tracker version 1.2 for umbraco 4.5, with multi-site support :-)
Please mark this reply as 'the answer'.
(Sorry for the HUGE delay!)

Can you post the contents of the 'config/404handlers.config' file?
And take a look at the notice on the package's homepage. Could be that the request isn't even hitting umbraco...
Can you confirm this?

Feature request... complete!
Never mind ;-)
