Is there an available URL redirect for Umbraco 7.4? I mean I'm aware that there is a URL Redirect Management Tools in Umbraco 7.5 but we are using the lower version and it doesn't have that. Is there a way to achieve the same result? The scenario is this.
We created an web.com/about-us page. Now this is cached in google search now.
We then decided to change about-us to corporate now the cached version is still pointing to about-us where in fact the new URL now is web.com/corporate
How can I achieve a URL redirect? If someone manually typed or clicked on the cached url like about-us how can Umbraco 7.4 redirects it to the correct site? Would appreciate a step by step process if possible since I'm still new in Umbraco
you can use something like SEO Checker to manage this for you - there are also other plugins available that can do the redirection management.

As my first post has been hidden due to lack of detail, which is understandable, I am adding this new answer with more details.
We use UrlTracker for our projects - it is a nuget package that you install and then you can start using it. This can help.
The Url Tracker is used to manage URLs within umbraco and it automatically tracks URL changes, for instance when a node is renamed, this makes sure the old URL will redirect to the new location. Using this; you can also create your own redirects, based on a simple URL or using a Regex pattern. This is especially handy while migrating existing indexed URLs to your new website.
Please check this umbraco package web page for more details. Alternative links can be found below, hope this helps.

Scenario:
I have a website (CATALOG.COM), without any validation request, and without source code.
Now I need to set a validation to access.
Possibility Solution
If I create another site with validation (START_WEB.Com), and after I redirect on CATALOG.COM, can be a good solution ?
For example:
[Authorize]
public ActionResult Run_Old_WebSite()
{
return Redirect("www.Catalog.com");
}
Any suggestions?
p.s. I work with Asp.net, Mvc and Bootstrap
without the source code availability , You cannot validate the page.
Below is the alternate solution for this:
When any one hit the CATALOG.COM apply the 301 redirection rule to it and return it to the new site url like: START_WEB.Com?returnUrl=CATALOG.COM
Then in the new site add some validation login page, authenticate it and then redirect it to the old url: CATALOG.COM?validated=true
In this way you can achieve this, Here you can track the users also who are visiting to the old url site.
Assuming you have access to the published files, I would copy them to my local machine, decompile the site specific assemblies using something like Jetbrains dotPeek (it's free) and re-create a new solution in Visual Studio with the decompiled sources. Depending on site size/complexity this may take a bit of time but you would at least be able to make improvements to the code,build and deploy.
I am using vorto plugin in my Umbraco 7 application to achieve the multilingual capability.
I mentioned the URL in hostname as 'localhost/clientname/en'.
Whenever I open login page the URL which is getting form is 'http://localhost/clientname/en/login'.
This is the structure of vorto URL writing.
But can I achieve it like 'http://localhost/clientname/login/en' ???
I want language names at the end of the URL, not in between.
Is it possible ?
Please help....i am badly stuck in my project task !
It sounds like you need a custom URL provider, setting the domain to 'localhost/clientname/en' will mean that the URLs will always get added AFTER the language part as the host is always the first part of the URL.
Have a look at this article on URL providers and content finders: https://24days.in/umbraco-cms/2014/urlprovider-and-contentfinder/ it's quite old, but it should still work. That should give you an idea of how to make it work. Basically you want the URL provider to append the language to the end of the URL, and the content finder to strip the language from the end and then find the actual content. You can also then set the language of the current thread in the content finder so that Vorto and Umbraco are using the correct language based on the URL.
I am using umbraco 7.1.3.
My requirement is to create another sub-domain in main site dynamically as per user request.For example I have implemented umbraco cms for my site "ww.xyz.com" & I am updating content through umbraco login. Now I want to create sub-domains for different clients as per their request... like : "www.xyz.com/client1", "www.xyz.com/client2" and so on...
Now all sub-domain site should have it's own umbraco framework, so client-site (sub-domain owner) can login and update their information respectively.
To achieve this requirement I implemented following steps...
First I register a umbraco website in IIS and configure it, and that worked properly.
Then I register another umbraco website in IIS and configured it, and that also worked properly.
Now to implement sub-domain logic...
I simply copied 2nd website's folder in to first website folder. Then convert that folder to application through IIS.
As per my expectation this should work, As I have already done the same in asp.net and it worked.
But with umbraco I am facing issue like "Invalid key value".
I think the issue is related to some umbraco configuration, but I am not able to figure it out.
Thanks & Regards
A bit of an open door, but since I don't see it mentioned in any of the comments and it's a bit hidden away in Umbraco 8. Have you tried setting the urls in the Cultures and Hostnames section?
Note: you get to this by going to "Content", in the content tree right click on your homepage and now you get several extra options which are normally hidden away with also the very useful Hostname and Cultures option which allows you to support multiple urls.
i am evaluating Apache Sling as a potential backend CMS. I like how easy it is to push / get new content via rest. However, I also need to be able to search the content via REST. I compiled all the source code and am running their standalone jar. There are like 100 bundles installed, but I can't find a single rest query.
Some old documentation says you can do /content/mynode.query.json?
But this is not working, and there is no help on whether its supported or not. Honestly the only search option I found was in the console via /.explore.search.html/ which returns web pages.
How can you do restful search using sling?
The JsonQueryServlet, which provides an HTTP search interface was moved to a separate bundle as part of SLING-2226. See that issue's page for how to use it, and there's a related blog post at http://in-the-sling.blogspot.ch/2008/09/how-to-use-json-query-servlet.html
We have mutli site setup with "UseDomainPrefixes" set to true and have applied the hostname on the root level of each site but what is required is "Link to Document" to should be the url with-out the domain/hostname prefix. I was able to achieve this in umbraco4.0.2 but we recently upgrade to 4.8.0 and this upgrade has replaced all the links with domain prefix. Is there any way to achieve tihs in 4.8.0.
Site setup and url of a page in umbraco 4.0.2
Hence the link to document doesn't have the domain prefix set on it only for the first site even though "UseDomainPrefixes" set to true. i need to replicate exactly the same thing in 4.8.0 due to the way the site has been setup.
The same page in umbraco4.8.0
Please Help, Much Appreciated.
Thanks
