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.

- Set old and new path, by selection existing django CMS pages or writing down the complete address
