Redirect feature requests

15 years 9 months ago #3540 by shackbase
I have a few suggestions that would be really useful in regards to redirects and the 404 log.

404 log suggestions:

1. Allow to sort the different tables to group 404 pages and the referrer pages.

2. Be able to list 404 pages and the referrer pages by hits to quickly fix the most often bad links.

3. Email notifications (immediate and daily?) of 404 hits with referrer url and destination page and link to the admin section to rectify if it is a valid 404 error.

4. Next to the 404 URL add a link with a popup to fix (redirect) that link to a different url (negates the need to copy bad link and paste it into the redirect section)


Redirect suggestions:

1. Allow to enter more than one redirect per page to skip the saving, adding, saving, adding when adding multiple redirects.

2. Allow to sort the different tables by source and target url for an easier overlook of what has been redirected.

3. Warn when trying to add duplicate source redirect.

These would be great additions, any chance of seeing them happen?

Nice ideas. I will look into implementing some of them, the sorting thing above all.
Thanks.

Well done Emir.

Out of all those suggestions, only 2 did not make the list and one was a superfluous suggestion anyhow (the email option).

The other skipped one - the ability to add more than one redirect on a page (multiple forms basically) would be a nice addon rather than having to hop back and forth continuous times.

However, all that aside.  Thank you!  It is very appreciated and I hope and believe these additions will benefit the whole SEF Advanced 2008 community.

Cheers,
Tony

The page above is the new tab from a logged 404 hit.

Could you add a redirect form on this page that would use the 404'd page as the source and the redirect as its new url?

Thanks!
