Configuring Global Redirect and Path RedirectConfiguring Global Redirect and Path Redirect

Searched words:
path_redirect not pathredirect
globalredirect not global_redirect
Drupal configure global redirect
set up path redirect Drupal module
Drupal install global redirect path redirect
The modules in question:
Global Redirect: http://drupal.org/project/globalredirect
Path Redirect: http://drupal.org/project/path_redirect
Download and place your modules in the sites/all/modules directory of your site using your chosen method. Agaric recommends Drush.
Enable your modules at http://example.com/admin/build/modules
- Global Redirect (Searches for an alias of the current URL and 301 redirects if found. Stops duplicate content arising when path module is enabled.)
- Path Redirect (Redirect users from one URL to another.)
Global Redirect needs no configuration. The only important thing for Path Redirect is to go to the Pathauto settings (because you do have Pathauto installed already, don't you?) at http://example.com/admin/settings/pathauto and make the following change:
- Click General settings to open this field set.
- Switch Update action: ("What should pathauto do when updating an existing content item which already has an alias?") to the new option provided by Path Redirect: Create a new alias. Redirect from old alias.
Finally installing Global Redirect and Path Auto were inspired by Kathleen Murtaugh's guide to contributed modules.
