Redirect

Installation

Note This addon requires sqlite to be installed to work

1. Install Statamic Redirect from the Tools > Addons section of your control panel, or via composer:

   composer require rias/statamic-redirect

Usage

Redirect allows you to redirect legacy URLs, so that you don't lose SEO value when rebuilding & restructuring a website.

Redirect supports traditional exact and RegEx matching of URL patterns.

Redirect will also automatically create a redirect for you if you change an entry's slug or uri.

Unlike utilizing .htaccess to do redirects, Redirect does not add overhead to each request for each redirect you have in place.

Redirect has no impact on your website's performance until a 404 exception happens.

Configuration

You can publish the config file using

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=statamic-redirect-config

Widgets

This addon comes with the following widgets:

• errors: for a listing of the most recent errors
• errors_last_month: the same chart as in the redirect dashboard
• errors_last_week: the same chart as in the redirect dashboard
• errors_last_day: the same chart as in the redirect dashboard

Widgets can be added to the dashboard by modifying the widgets array in the config/statamic/cp.php file.

// config/statamic/cp.php
 
'widgets' => [
  [
      'type' => 'errors',
      'limit' => 5,
  ],
  'errors_last_month',
  'errors_last_week',
  'errors_last_day',
],

Like the default widgets of Statamic, you can also configure title& width of the widgets.

Logging errors

By default, Statamic Redirect will create error logs, you can disable this by setting the log_errors config value to false.

Logging individual hits

By default, Statamic Redirect will also keep individual hits for each error, you can disable this by setting the log_hits config value to false.

Create entry redirects

By default, Statamic Redirect will create redirects when the URI of an entry changes. You can disable this by setting the create_entry_redirects config value to false.

Note If this entry has any children in a structure, it will only create a redirect for the entry that was changed. None of its children.

Deleting entry conflicting redirects

By default, Statamic Redirect will delete redirects when a saved entry's URI conflicts with the redirect. You can disable this by setting the delete_conflicting_redirects config value to false.

Preserving query strings

By default, Statamic Redirect will not preserve query strings. You can set the preserve_query_strings config value to true to enable this behavior.

Cleaning errors

The amount of errors can grow quickly, Statamic Redirect includes a scheduled command that by default cleans up errors older than 1 month.

You can disable the cleaning by setting the clean_errors config value to false. Or change the date range by changing the clean_older_than config value. This accepts a value that is parsed by PHP's createfromdatestring function.

Make sure your Schedule is running for error cleaning to work.

Different storage

If you want to use a different storage method for errors or redirects, change them in the config file.

Errors

By default, errors are stored using the built-in redirect-sqlite connection. Picking another connection can be useful when logging a lot of errors & hits. To do this, change the error_connection config value. Provide default to use the default Laravel connection.

When using a connection other than redirect-sqlite, make sure to publish (and run) the corresponding migration using php artisan vendor:publish --tag="statamic-redirect-error-migrations".

Redirects

By default, errors are stored in the content/redirects folder. Update the redirect_store config value to use a different folder.

It is also possible to store your redirects in the database. To do this, change the redirect_connection config value. Provide default to use the default Laravel connection.

When using a connection other than stache or redirect-sqlite, make sure to publish (and run) the corresponding migration using php artisan vendor:publish --tag="statamic-redirect-redirect-migrations".
