Nostalgia¶ ↑

An extension for the Radiant CMS for easily tracking and rewriting legacy urls.

Overview¶ ↑

Track¶ ↑

Nostalgia tracks 404s that occur. Via the dashboard (using Jim Gay’s dashboard extension github.com/saturnflyer/radiant-dashboard-extension) you get an overview of all requests that failed.

Rewrite¶ ↑

Nostalgia defines a page type called “not found with rewrites”. This is a 404-page with the possibility to ‘rescue’ requests using rewrite rules.

Install¶ ↑

Install the extension:

$ rake production radiant:extensions:nostalgia:migrate

$ rake production radiant:extensions:nostalgia:update

Track¶ ↑

For viewing all the failed requests, just install the dashboard extension (github.com/saturnflyer/radiant-dashboard-extension, this extension was tested with revision d147225).

Rewrite¶ ↑

When you have an overview what urls fail, you can add rewrite rules:

• set the page type of the current 404 page to “not found with rewrites”

• add a page-part named “rewrites”

• define rewrite rules in this page-part

Example rewrite rules:

/index.html => /
/short-url/? => /page/with/long/url/
/old-section/(.*) => /new-section/$1
