Re: Update for DNN module Smart Redirect for 404 errors. New undefined url tracking

Looks like a promising module. My only concern is that it does not return a 301 status code when redirecting the the new URL, does it?

Re: Update for DNN module Smart Redirect for 404 errors. New undefined url tracking

Actually, it does do a 301 now as of the last module I submitted to Snowcovered. I should have pointed that out.

Excellent! Thanks Travis.

Redirection to dynamically created pages using HJT Redirector

Hi,

We had purchased the HJT Redirector module sometime back and it has been working fine for all the old URLs (on our sites) that needed redirection. However, we have made some changes to the design of our sites - from being English only sites, we have brought in the concept of multi-lingual sites as well as the concept of geosites.
Our site has been built using DotNetNuke version 4.5.5 and uses the HJT Redirector module version 1.01.00. The URLs for the pages are created dynamically based on which ever language has been selected for the site, ie the querystring is generated on the fly whenever the user clicks on the language of his preference, from the site. We have configured our sites in such a way that our main website is say "http://www.example.com" and all other country specific sites are virtual directories under this website, for eg - our German site would look like "http://www.example.com/DE" where "DE" signifies the German site which is a virtual directory under " www.example.com". Continuing with our example, this German site has two languages namely "English" and "Deutsche", so the URLs that get created on the fly are "http://www.example.com/DE/Home/tabid/36/L/en-US/Default.aspx" and "http://www.example.com/DE/Home/tabid/36/L/de-DE/Default.aspx", where "L/en-US" and "L/de-DE" signify the "English(en-US)" and "Deutsche(de-DE)" languages and "Home/tabid/36" signifies the home page of the site. It so happens that some of the pages are also created on the fly based on the content of the page.
We have written code to dynamically append the "L/locale" (example "L/en-US" or "L/de-DE") to any URL that the user has requested for (for example, for the first time the user is taken to the Home page, by default the English language content is shown and hence the URL constructed dynamically will have "L/en-US" in it). Now, we have noticed that whenever we give new URLs in the settings of the HJT Redirector module (without the "L/locale" information) in it, on browsing to the old URL, it throws the "Page Not found" page. We then edited the new URL and put in the "L/locale" information but it didnt work even then.
After looking into your code using the reflector tool, we saw that you are using the property "Response.RedirectLocation" (in the page_load section) rather than "Response.Redirect". As in DNN, we are mostly making use of "Response.Redirect", do you think this has anything to do with the issue that we have at hand?
Please do let us know your views on this. Any help from your side will be appreciated.
