How To Create Redirection Pages

Setting Redirects for URLs:

You may setup redirects for urls that may be indexed in search engines or as links on third party sites.

This can be done using the main "Redirects" tab in the Content Management module.

Redirect of Pages in Menu:

This section deals with the second option in the first drop-down menu of the "Page" tab: Redirect.

This option is used when you want to make a particular menu item link off to another page when clicked on, rather than open its own unique page of content. This way, your page could be listed in the site menu, but when clicked on, would redirect the user to another page within your website or to an external page such as Yahoo.

When you specify for a page to act as a Redirect, only the Menu settings are utilized. The Documents, Templates, and Rights sections will all be hidden.

Step-by-Step Guide to Redirects:

Log into your website's administration.

Click on the "Content Management" icon, which will bring you to the Document Tree.

Select the location within the tree where you would like to add the redirection page, and click on the "Add New Page" icon in the "Actions" menu.

You will then be presented with a window labeled "Change details of the page," to the right of the Document Tree. Select "Redirect" from the drop-down menu (as pictured below).

Next, in the empty field to the right of the drop-down menu, enter the full URL of the page you wish to redirect to, including the "http://" if you want to link to an external page. If you want to link to a page within your own site, simply enter the File URL of the page you want to link to. (Don't forget to add the starting and trailing slash!)

Here is an example of how to redirect to an external web page:

And now an example of how to redirect to a page within your own site:

Finally, click on "Save," and the redirecting page will be added to your website.

External Link Requirements:

• If you are linking to a page on another website, you must enter the FULL URL of that particular page (e.g. http://www.yahoo.com/products.html)
• If you are linking to a document within your own website, enter the exact File URL of the page you want to link to. Do not enter the protocol or domain. Only enter the File URL portion of the URL (e.g. /contact-us/)
