| SBD Redirect Very simple redirecter You are updating your website, changing the names of page's filenames (ex: file.html to file.php) moving pages and so on. But what if you want to get rid of those old pages without having to worry about those who go to the old web page and see nothing? It doesnt end there either, other visitors do include major search engines such as MSN, Google and Yahoo! If people are finding your old pages when querying in these search engines, and they attempt to go to that page that has been deleted or moved, they will get a "404 File Not Found" Error! which is not what anyone wants. This mambot uses The 301 Redirect The best way to redirect those pages is by using something called a "301 Redirect". What this 301 redirect does, is it blatantly redirects to a different page when it is triggered, what makes the 301 redirect the best, is that not only does it accomplish your redirect, it does it safely, no having to worry about the search engines penalizing you for it! To be specific, the 301 redirect tells the browser , or in other cases, it tells the search engines "Hey this page has been moved , here is the correct URL!". Very simple to use, all you need to know is the new URL. Then in the page you wish to move or delete add the following code. It'll add the redirect code to your page. Note: best if this mambot runs first, in case another mambot writes code to the browser which may stop it from working. The mambot has been updated, and can now take a few different commands to enable page redirection, the following options are: Absolute URL: you can specifiy the full URL, useful for when the new page is no longer on the same server or under a subdomain. Command*: { sbdredirect newwebpage} Example: { sbdredirect http://www.simplebydesign.co.uk} Article ID: you can just specify the article ID for the mambot to redirect to and converts to SEF before redirection. Command*: { sbdredirect id:(Article ID)} Example: { sbdredirect id:2} Index.php: you can pass a full relative Joomla URL string, for when not using SEF Command*: { sbdredirect (index.php)} Example: { sbdredirect index.php?option=com_sobi2} Section ID: you can redirect to any content section using the ID for that section Command*: { sbdredirect sec:(Section ID)} Example: { sbdredirect sec:1} Category ID: you can redirect to any content category using the ID for that category Command*: { sbdredirect cat:(Section ID):(Category ID)} Example: { sbdredirect cat:1:100} For more information check the following links: Mambot Home page: http://www.simplebydesign.co.uk/joomla/mambots/sbd-301-redirect.html Forums: http://www.simplebydesign.co.uk/forums/6-sbd-301-redirect/ Many Thanks for your interest.
