Is there any reason that the installation of the dashboard is tied to the StartupDashboardSection instead of having it's own section e.g. something like -
The reason I ask if that we usually use a custom version of Dashboard.config with the startup sections removed.
Issues found (this is on a site where umbracoUseDirectoryUrls=false so all urls end .aspx)
Automatic Url tracking: page1 renamed to page2 (so new url is /page2.aspx) In the db table (OldUrl = page1, RedirectNodeId = 1055, RedirectPassThroughQueryString = 1)
Tests Request /page1.aspx Expected result: redirect to /page2.aspx Actual result: redirected to /page2.aspx Issue: None
Request /page1.aspx?id=1234 Expected result: redirect to /page2.aspx?id=1234 Actual result: Umbraco 404 Issue: Querystring passthrough not working however if you request /page1?id=1234 is does work as expected.
Doug, thank you very much for taking the time to describe the problem.
I've been able to reproduce this and I've fixed it in v2.1.2, which I'll upload tonight.
About the dashboard section: I'm using the StartupDashboardSection because I don't know any better.
If I use a clean section, dedicated to the UrlTracker, what are the advantages? And how about the order of tabs?
Thanks for the quick update. The new version has fixed the bug.
Dashboard Section Tab Order For the dashboard config if you have the new section after StartupDashboardSection then the tab will appear last (if it's before StartupDashboardSection it will appear first).
Advantages Although it's only a minor point in my opinion it's cleaner if it's in it's own section. It also makes it easier if you wanted to move it to the Settings section or have it in both Content and Settings sections.

Good work on the new version.
Couple of questions / issues :-

(Same issue for manually created redirects)

Dashboard Section
Tab Order
For the dashboard config if you have the new section after StartupDashboardSection then the tab will appear last (if it's before StartupDashboardSection it will appear first).
Advantages
Although it's only a minor point in my opinion it's cleaner if it's in it's own section. It also makes it easier if you wanted to move it to the Settings section or have it in both Content and Settings sections.
Sounds good. I'll see what I can do, taking existing installations into account.
