New concrete5 site going live - redirects?
Permalink
Hi there,
A new concrete5 site will be taking over from an existing static-HTML-based site.
Current links include "/home.html" etc
Now if I install the new concrete5 site on the root directory, and try to go tohttp://www.sitename.com/home.html I'll get the standard concrete5 'No page could be found at this address.' page.
How do I set up concrete5 to automatically redirect the user to
a) the homepage
b) specific page i.e. if my old page was /products.html, we might want them to go to /products-and-services/products (on the new concrete5 site).
All make sense? Your assistance is appreciated.

A redirect in c5 would be a sweet feature. I don't know if its possible or not but it sure would be a cool addition.
You could also try:
-log in and go to the dashboard. Click on the "Sitemap" button.
-click on the page you want to make a redirect for. On the popup menu, click on "Properties."
-click on the "Page Paths and Location" tab. You can enter the old URLs under "Additional Page URL(s)."
Do you want to do this just so current user's bookmarks don't break?
