I am working on site umbraco 7.5.8. I know that version of umbraco has its own url tracker. However I need to be able to create my own redirects when old urls of my old site are hit so i can redirect to new pages.
We are using UrlTracker on v7 sites and Umbraco Cloud projects to manually create redirects, but I have also tried the redirect package from Anders Bjerner
With the newest release (v0.2.6) of Skybrud.Umbraco.Redirects, redirects can now be added to a specific site (where a site is a content item with one or more configured domains).
So to summarize, new redirects can now be created globally or just for a specific site.
When creating a new redirect through the property editor, the site of the node being edited is pre-selected. The option to select a site can also be hidden through a prevalue option, in which case the redirect will be for the site of the node being edited.
I'm not sure about the 1:1 translation and multiple URLs, since this is probably a custom setup.
I'll give some different solutions a spinn and let you all know.
The thing is that every node can have multiple urls and my solution needs to take this into account when creating redirects. Since all nodes have one or more versions depending on the number of configured languages.
If anybody is curious, I got redirects working with UI-O-Matic and Umbraco's native redirect management. However, I had to change my plans, as there are a number of bugs/limitations with the core implementation (e.g., the old URL wouldn't work with trailing slashes). Wouldn't recommend it at all at this point.
I ended up going with redirects in the web.config. Not ideal, but it works (to an extent).
If you have access to the IIS instance, this can be quite useful... and you could possibly tap into Umbraco via a simple dashboard screen for CRUD operations.
What to use with umbraco 7.5.8
Hello,
I am working on site umbraco 7.5.8. I know that version of umbraco has its own url tracker. However I need to be able to create my own redirects when old urls of my old site are hit so i can redirect to new pages.
Is this package the best thing to use?
Regards
Ismail
I am doing that with UI-O-Matic: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/ui-o-matic/computer-says-no/83896-best-way-to-transform-ui-o-matic-data-for-better-presentation
I was using 301 URL Tracker, but it's now defunct (the maintainer has indicated he no longer wishes to maintain it).
Hi Ismail

https://github.com/skybrud/Skybrud.Umbraco.Redirects/
I haven't tested the package on live/production sites though.

Bjarne,
Awesome will give that a go.
Cheers

Hi Ismail,
What packaged / solution did you end up with? :-)
/Casper
Bjarne, would your solution support a multisite senario? Where we have two sites running on different domains in one Umbraco-install?
They also have 1:1 translation, so each node has more than one url.

I haven't tested the package on a multi-site solution, I don't think it is supported at the moment, but something that might be on the todo list.
@abjerner can probably elaborate on this.
With the newest release (v0.2.6) of Skybrud.Umbraco.Redirects, redirects can now be added to a specific site (where a site is a content item with one or more configured domains).

Thanks for all the anwsers!

I still use 301 URL Tracker and just disable the default one. At this point its the best option for our needs and seems to be stable.
