301 URL Tracker - does it play nicely with the Redirect URL Management in Umb v7.5.x?
Hi,
Now we have the Redirect URL Management (which is a great addition!) does the 301 URL Tracker package still play nicely?
I'd still like the 404 tracking functionality and the ability manually add entries - unless I'm missing something these bits have not been included in core?
I've installed URL tracker but I still can see only the Redirect Url Management. I have tried to disable the module but I'm not able to see the Url tracker module.
Nope not that I have found, but +1 on the need for this..
To us it's only 20% of the solution, unless the only thing you're doing is building sites for new company's that don't have a website already. Not quite sure why you'd use it without the ability to define your own 301 redirects, except for the "new website" situation where 301's are irrelevant. If you are re-building a site though, (hopefully migrating to Umbraco!) then this is an absolute requirement for any 301 management system unless you want all your indexed Google pages to generate a 404 thus throwing away valuable SEO juice post relaunch.. But I will say, the interface looks fantastic, so hopefully the Umbraco Gods will hit it with their trident(s) and make this puppy useful (+1 for importing 301 Redirects from a CSV file if so!).
In the meantime, I've continued to use https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/301-url-tracker/ which also keeps track of nodes/onsite changes as the new native one does. I prefer this one over the other major package as I find the RegEx matching extremely useful for things like News / Blog entries 301's from the old site. Sometimes there's hundreds, i'm sure many can relate :)
I will check it out when I have time! We purchased a server license for your CMS Import a while back and it has saved a great deal of time thus far! Thank you for all your efforts loving it!

Hi Steve,
By default the Umbraco Url Tracker is disabled when packages like 301 url tracker or SEOChecker are installed.
See https://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Reference/Routing/URL-Tracking/

Hi,
I've installed URL tracker but I still can see only the Redirect Url Management. I have tried to disable the module but I'm not able to see the Url tracker module.
Is there any other configuration I should make?
Thanks in advance,
Hi Albert did you manage to solve this problem?
I've just done an install on 7.5.14 and have the same problem i.e. dashboard is not showing after built-in redirects are disabled.
I had the same issue on 7.7.7
Adding the tab manually to the 'StartupDashboardSection' section in config/dashboard.config solved it for me:
Nice spot - I did do a quick Google as I was sure I'd seen something on this previously.
Thanks for the swift answer!
Steve
On that note, I'd like to know if there's a way to add an entry manually. To avoid having to install a package when this could do it on it's own.

//Shameless plug :) If you need to import redirects from CSV or Excel, you might want to check out SEO Checker http://soetemansoftware.nl/seo-checker
