collective.regexredirector 0.2

Introduction

collective.regexredirector extends the plone.app.redirector behavior to allow to define redirections using regular expressions.

It might be particulary useful if you migrate an old website and you want to map old urls to the new site structure.

Note: when a 404 occurs, collective.regexredirector first calls plone.app.redirector, and if it does not redirect, then collective.regexredirector tries to match one of its registered regular expressions.

Usage

In the Plone control panel, go to the “RegexRedirector” control panel and enter your redirection rules.

One redirection by line using the following format

'old_url'='new_url'
'old_url2'='new_url2'

'/news/.*'='/archives/index'

'/tags/(?P<category_name>.+)'='/category/\g<category_name>/view'

INSTALL

Add collective.regexredirector to your buildout eggs.
