Redirection

Use the Redirection content type to add a Redirection from one node to another, or to an external URL.

To create a Redirection, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the website that contains the link that will be redirected (i.e. educationcareers) and click the “Content” link in the admin menu.
2. Click the “+ Add content” link.
3. Click the “Redirection” link.
4. Enter text in the “Administrative Title” field to help users understand the purpose of the redirection.
5. Enter a site-relative URL (such as 'about' or 'node/555') or a full URL (such as 'http://www.ala.org') in the “Destination URL” area.
6. Specify the short URL for this redirect in the “URL Alias” area. 
   1. Use a site-relative path without a slash at the start or end. For example, to create a redirect at www.ala.org/yalsa/awards2012 the URL to enter here would be 'awards2012'.
      1. Note: The alias cannot be an existing alias on the site. Remove the existing alias from the URL path settings on the page before creating the redirect. 
   2. Do not delete the old page until after you remove the URL alias. 
7. Click “Save” at the bottom of the page.
