Hi Mohsen,

Which URL tracker are you refering too ?

Dave

Hi Mohsen,

Looking at the screenshot I think this is : https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/301-url-tracker/

Which Umbraco version are you on and which version of the URL tracker are you using ?

Dave

No clue. Never used it. So I actually don't know if it supports redirets to external urls.

I think it's best to create a issue on their tracker.

Dave

Hi Moshen

The 301 URL tracker should support external redirects at least it used to en previoues versions. It's been a few year since I made use of it myself though.

But I vaguely also remember that the package creator prefers to deal with issues on https://github.com/kipusoep/UrlTracker/issues rather than in these forums. So maybe add your issue there unless something is already reported about what you're experiencing.

Thanks guys.

I'll move this over to the Github tracker: https://github.com/kipusoep/UrlTracker/issues/189

Hi all!

I saw this message in google searches, mentioning the 301 url tracker plugin. Since it's on the first page, I would like to mention that the url tracker has gained a second life over here!

The plugin / package has been slumbering for quite a while, but I've taken it upon me to revive it and to hopefully restore it to its former glory.

Last week I've released an update to the package on NuGet. The latest version has a completely fresh backend that aims to be more maintainable, readable, performant, testable and extendible. It's compatible with Umbraco 8, but there's also a brand new version for Umbraco 9!

One of the nice features is that the URL Tracker now has a clear api layer so that developers can make their own integrations with the URL Tracker if they please. Documentation is still work in progress though :/

Furthermore, I've got some ambitious plans:

• Complete redesign of the database for better performance, improved memory usage and a more comprehensible model
• Complete redesign of the frontend javascript. Put focus on component based infrastructure and improve the development experience by converting to typescript. I also want to introduce automated tests on our frontend (because I've never done that before)
• Redesign of the user experience. I am currently sketching some wireframes for a better user experience. We're looking to focus more on active recommendations and helping content editors understand what actions they need to take to improve the visitor experience on their website. A quick glance at the front page of the URL Tracker should give a content editor enough information to know what issues their website has and which actions will solve them. Not only recommending creating redirects, but for example giving advice to contact the technical party as well (if a stylesheet or script cannot be found perhaps).

Some other ideas that I still want to explore are:

• Improving the search capabilities using examine index
• Integration with uSync

I hope that I can breathe some new life into this wonderful plugin, because I genuinely think it can be a great addition to the Umbraco backoffice!
