    Have umbraco navigate to another page when using a different url?

    I have the following url:

    http://stage.sctflash.com/user

    but when the user enters this url or clicks it, I actually want them to go to:

    http://stage.sctflash.com/user/account instead. How can I do this with Umbraco or UrlReWriting?

    Hi Saied

    I think that you should have a look at the 301 url tracker package

    https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/301-url-tracker/

    With this package you have the option to create redirects

    Hope this can be a solution.

    Hi Dennis,

    I am using Umbraco 7.3. Looks like this package is only compatible 29%.

    Thanks

    Hi Saied,

    This is people who vote for the package, and they vote if it's work for them.

    You could try to give the package a spin on a test site to see if you can use it for your purpose.

    Or try to use the other option that I have linked to.

    Thanks Dennis,

    For the past year, I kept thinking that was the compatibility percent lol. You always learn something new.

    Another option could be

    I really need to only do this to a couple pages. I don't need many redirects, so I guess this can be an option. If I want www.abc.com/user to redirect to www.abc.com/user/account, do I just put /user/account in the url alias?

    Maybe I am doing it wrong, but www.abc.com/user is a page that does in fact exist, so I created a property called umbracoUrlAlias and on my account node which is located at /user/account, I put user in the umbraco url alias textbox, but when I type in www.abc.com/user, it goes to www.abc.com/user and not www.abc.com/user/account. If I put in a non-existing node like test, it goes to www.abc.com/user/account.

    umbracourlalias does not redirect. This property creates an alternative URL for the page content. When entered www.abc.com/user/account browser displays the contents of www.abc.com/user. To rewrite you need to create a rule in config/UrlRewriting

    http://www.codeshare.co.uk/blog/how-to-create-url-rewrite-rules-in-umbraco/

    Or using UrlProvider and ContentFinder

    Hi,

    If its just a quick re-direct on one or two pages I probably wouldn't bother installing any packages. Just add a rewrite rule to your web.config within system.webServer

    E.g

    <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
          <rules>
            <rule name="User Redirect Rule">
              <match url="user" />
              <action type="Rewrite" url="/user/account" />
            </rule> 
          </rules>
    </rewrite>
</system.webServer>

    There are some other properties available so you might want to have a play. I am pretty sure something like this will work well for you though. Done it myself a few times for other projects.

    If you have lots of re-directs you need to manage then there might be an Umbraco packages available that does this better. I am not too sure though.

    The way how I've managed re-directs for multiple pages in the past is by having a string field on every page document type called redirectToPage. I then add a macro to the master page as per below.

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@{
    string redirectToPage = Model.MacroParameters["redirectToPage"] != null ? Model.MacroParameters["redirectToPage"].ToString() : string.Empty; 
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(redirectToPage))
    {
        Response.Redirect(redirectToPage.ToString(), false);
        Response.StatusCode = 301;
        Response.End();
    }
}

    Basically it checks if there is a re-direct set on the page and if so then run a redirect.

    Hope this helps

    Kind Regards

    David
