Content Type: Redirecting link
Does this show as a 301 or a 302 redirect? Ive been told my links are showing as 302, is there anyway of setting them so they show as a 301?
I've put in a bunch of redirects via the content manager using this
Many thanks !

CMSMS redirects are of type 302 by default.
If you want 301 redirects, the easiest approach is to put that in the .htaccess file, e.g.
Code: Select all
Redirect 301 /dir/oldpage.htm /newdir/newpage.htm
or if you don't have a ".htm" extension
Code: Select all
Redirect 301 /dir/oldpage /newdir/newpage
That way, search engines will know that this is a permanent redirect.

ok, thanks - its easier to do in CMSMS for my content editors (who wouldn't be able to edit an htaccess file) ... is there any way of changing the CMSMS redirect type somewhere? even if it means changing a core file I guess...
