Needs better SEF compatibility
bydedalusjmmr, August 17, 2009
ReDJ
If, as in my case, you are looking for a quick way to redirect old (pre-Joomla) URLs that were all «flat» (i. e., http://www.whatever.com/nameofpage.html) and now you are applying SEF and menu structure to get something like http://www.whatever.com/hierarchy/whatever/nameofpage.html), prepare to be disappointed.

ReDJ recognizes «/nameofpage.html» but applies it to all pages with that ending, and you end up with a redirection loop.
Could be solved if http://{siteurl}/whatever.html was also good for «From URL».

I'm sorry you didn't try to contact me on support forum before this review. ReDJ works with regular expressions, so it can easely do what you want and much, much more. In your case, simply configure from url as "^/nameofpage.html$" and redirection will be applied only to this page "http://www.whatever.com/nameofpage.html". The initial hypen means "start with", and solve your issue... ;)

Small, cute and functional

I wonder why so few downloads.
It does its job and wonderfully: just insert a snippet of code inside an article, and only the summary will appear on the frontpage. Linkable? Yeah, sure; just change a parameter. Summary also on the article page or not? Just keep or change the other parameter.
That's all: a bit of code, two 1/0 parameters (and an optional «class» parameter), and you're done. Much better than having an intro text on the frontpage.

Be sure to check the documentation page at http://www.moleculargeek.net/summary.html before you start applying the plugin.
