A django CMS enabled application to handle redirects
This is heavily borrowed from django.contrib.redirects with three major changes:
- Selection of django CMS pages
- Selection of redirect status code
- Middleware can processed in the request or response phase
Doing database queries in the middleware process_request is heavily discouraged as it's a
performance hit, especially when doing redirects which are just a tiny part of the
processed requests.
Except that sometimes it's just what you need (for example to "hide" content without deleting
/ unpublishing it)
By caching both existing and non existing redirects for a given URL the performance hit is
minimized for the use cases that requires process_request.
The full documentation is at https://djangocms-redirect.readthedocs.io.
See https://djangocms-redirect.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html
- Set old and new path, by selection existing django CMS pages or writing down the complete address
- Select the redirect status code (301, 302)
- Support for status code 410
