Checks the current URL for an alias and does a 301 redirect to it if it is not being used.
GlobalRedirect is a simple module which…
- Checks the current URL for an alias and does a 301 redirect to it if it is not being used.
- Checks the current URL for a trailing slash, removes it if present and repeats check 1 with the new request.
- Checks if the current URL is the same as the
site_frontpage
and redirects to the frontpage if there is a match. - Checks if the Clean URLs feature is enabled and then checks the current URL is being accessed using the clean method rather than the 'unclean' method.
- Checks access to the URL. If the user does not have access to the path, then no redirects are done. This helps avoid exposing private aliased node's.
- Make sure the case of the URL being accessed is the same as the one set by the author/administrator. For example, if you set the alias "articles/cake-making" to node/123, then the user can access the alias with any combination of case.
- Most of the above options are configurable in the settings page. In Drupal 5 you can access this after enabling the
globalredirect_admin
module. In Drupal 6, the settings page is bundled into the module.by TAATJENE
