Jumplinks v1 Guide

Introduction

Jumplinks is an enhanced version of the original ProcessRedirects by Antti Peisa.

The Process module manages your permanent and temporary redirects (we'll call these "jumplinks" from now on, unless in reference to redirects from another module), useful for when you're migrating over to ProcessWire from another system/platform.

Each jumplink supports wildcards, shortening the time needed to create them.

Unlike similar modules for other platforms, wildcards in Jumplinks are much easier to work with, as Regular Expressions are not fully exposed. Instead, parameters wrapped in curly braces are used - these are described in this documentation.

Current Release & Requirements

Current Release: 1.5.49

As of version 1.5, Jumplinks requires at least ProcessWire 2.6.1 to run.

In the works is Jumplinks 2, which is a complete rewrite of the module that makes use of FastRoute, Composer and Eloquent. The purpose of the rewite is to make the module future-proof and provide new features, enhancements, and increase the overall speed of the module (still to be benchmarked).

You can track development on the project board.

Features

The most prominent features include:

  • Basic jumplinks (from one fixed route to another)
  • Parameter-based wildcards with "Smart" equivalents
  • Mapping Collections (for converting ID-based routes to their named-equivalents without the need to create multiple jumplinks)
  • Destination Selectors (for finding and redirecting to pages containing legacy location information)
  • Timed Activation (activate and/or deactivate jumplinks at specific times)
  • 404-Monitor (for creating jumplinks based on 404 hits)

Additionally, the following features may come in handy:

  • Stale jumplink management
  • Legacy domain support for slow migrations
  • An importer (from CSV or ProcessRedirects)

GitHub

Jumplinks is available on GitHub at http://github.com/rockettpw/jumplinks.

There is currently only one branch: master, which contains the stable version of Jumplinks. The old dev branch has been removed completely, and a new branch will be created when Jumplinks 2 reaches alpha-ready status.
