Plone does redirects now?!
by Erik Rose
Plone 3 notices when you move content and creates redirects automatically.
Either I missed this when Plone 3 came out, or I forgot it in the interim, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that, if you use Copy and Paste to move a content item, Plone catches on and puts an HTTP redirect in place so old URLs still work. Boffo!
Further, you can install RedirectionTool to get a nice (albeit slightly buggy) UI to the redirection store. It puts an Aliases tab on every content item, on which you can manually specify where the item used to be. Further boffo!
