    Redirects / Vanity Urls

    Hi,

     

    I've a site built with Umbraco 4.7.2 and I'm trying to find a plugin that allows the content editor to create redirects.

    301 Url Tracker  only seems to allow you to redirect from an existing page to a different one within the backend whilst what I'm really after is being able to redirect from a page that has never existed into an existing page.

    e.g. www.test.com/NeverExisted to www.test.com/home

    I can achieve this by editing the urlrewriting.config but that is outside of the client's scope / capability.

     

    I also had a look at umbracoManageUrlRedirects and whilst it seemed the way to go I couldn't get it to work with the version of umbraco and the limited documentation said something about adding a property with  "umbraco301MovedPermanently" but without stating what type of property this should be.

    So, is there a plugin that will allow me to do this or is it best to roll my own and create a back-end plugin that modifies the urlrewriting.config file?


    Thanks,

    S.

    Ps.

     

    One of the things required is to handle tracking information, so for example,

    www.mySite.com/Nice   to redirect to     www.mySite.com/tracking/?utm_source=Times&utm_medium=Print&utm_campaign=Test

     

    Thanks again.
