Redirects module

Overview of entries

• By clicking on the Redirects icon in the module list of your website, the editing field for redirects or your already existing redirects will appear.
• Click on Create new redirect or on the +-sign above the workspace to create a new redirect.

Select domain

• Source Domain: This field is only relevant if you manage more than one domain within a TYPO3 back end. 
• The field marked with » * « indicates that your redirect is valid for each domain.
• If you manage only one domain, it makes no difference whether the default setting marked by the star (» * «) remains active or if you select your one domain name (in our example showcase.toujou.de).
• If you manage more than one domain, choose the domain you want to set a redirect for accordingly by clicking the dropdown menu.

Set redirect

• Source Path: Here you enter the path from which visitors are to be redirected to a new target link. Make sure to begin the path with a slash (» / «).

There are two possible cases:

• A URL was renamed (e.g. after a relaunch or in the page properties). In the future, visitors who start from a former URL path need to be directed to the new path. To achieve this, enter the former URL segment manually or by copy and paste into the Source Path section.
• A desired URL was created to be directed to an existing page, but the original URL is not changed (e.g. due to abbreviations and/or for marketing purposes). To achieve this, enter the desired URL segment manually or by copy and paste into the Source Path section.

Select redirect target

• Target: Set the current page to be referenced manually or by selection. 
• To do this, click on the link icon to open the link browser. Now, select the target of the redirect.
• If necessary, open the page tree to click on the desired subpage.
• In order to forward a translated page, add the corresponding language in the field "Additional link parameters" by entering »L = X«. For English replace the X with a 1, for French with a 3 and for Italian with a 4. Additionally, you have to activate the field Keep GET Parameters.

Status Code HTTP Header

• 301 Moved Permanently: Select this status if the page path is permanently moved and the old URL should be ignored by search engines.
• 307 Temporary Redirect: The old URL should only temporarily lead to a different path, while it continues to be crawled by the search engines (in case new use of the former URL is to be expected).
• 302 Found and 303 See other do not play a relevant role for editors.

More settings

• Respect GET Parameters: Here we advise against activating the field, since the incoming URL is only treated if all URL variables (including possible attachments) are correct.
• Is regular expression?: Irrelevant to toujou customers.
• Force SSL Redirect: You can optionally enable this field, but your SSL certificate should automatically deliver the security encryption.
• Keep GET: Enable this field if you want to include any URL attachments associated with the configuration that can be redirected to.
