With the Redirects module you can create short referral URLs that link to a long one. This allows you to communicate an URL that is easy to type, while the content is on a longer URL.
Creating a Referral URL
To create a Referral Go To Website > Redirects > Add, where you can enter an alias and a target.
- Type = Select whether the Redirect should be a Short URL or a Permanently Moved
- Source* (required) = The short URL you can communicate will be the address of the website followed by this alias. In the example above it is "podcast".
- Target* (required) = The target is the purpose of the referral. This is the long URL, following the domain, for example: ”nieuws/728/Nieuwe_podcastserie/”.
Take note!
Do not use an source that already appears in the main menu of the website. For example, www.website.com/program is often already a main menu item.
