Please, to make the most of all the features of ReDJ you should take a look at the tutorial!!!
News for version 1.7.1:
- Fixed issue with custom error page.
News for version 1.7.0:
- Added support for placeholders and comments for redirection rules;
- Added support for new macros for redirection rules.
News for version 1.6.0:
- Completely rewritten for the new version of Joomla! 1.6 and 1.7;
- The redirection rules can work on the entire URL, including protocol and domain;
- It can be specified for each redirect rule whether or not to first decode the URL.
When migrating or changing websites url's could change. This means that I need to map these old url's to the corresponding place in the new website so as not to lose valuable visitors.
This exstension does exacly that in a self explanatory way. (I got this setup in no more than 2 minutes).
Simply install the component an dthe plugin, then activate the plugin, an dfinally enter the url rules in the component. Couldn't be easier.
I will definitely use this extension going forward.

This just works.
Excellent component that does exactly as descripted.
A newbie hint for URL redirection:
From: (make it relative)
/index.php/bla-bla
To: (make it absolute)
http://www.example.org/index.php/new-url
Remember you can also use regular expressions.

I had a little trouble figuring out how to format the from/to URLs. But the developer quickly responded to my question, and once I started using it correctly, it worked perfectly! A very nice plugin & component, very easy to use.
Excellent extension! Took me two seconds to set it up. Thanks for the prior reviewer for clarifying that the "from" URL is only the tail.
After pulling my hair out trying to do redirects through the .htaccess file I wondered if someone had created an extension to do redirects.
I found ReDJ and it was amazingly simple and worked every time. I really love the fact that it tracks errors also so you can fix them without using Google Webmaster Tools.
I'm adding this to my short list of "must have extensions"!
Thank you so much for creating this, you saved me a TON of time.

Although there seems to exist no documentation it's forum is excellent!
There could exist some important functionalities such like redirecting all pages to 301 redirect instead of 404.
But it does what it says.
Thanks again.

Hey,
THIS WORKS. I only suggest that you include the specific .htaccess lines into the component descriptor so that a developer can access them quickly, and also include a few more example redirects- all this information I found in the forum- but was crucial for me to utlize. I am guessing you'd save a lot of newbies necks out there if its a lot more accessible.

I highly recommend this product. Due to changes on my site, I had a number of internal dead links, dead links coming from outside referring sites and bad links in search engines, after installing Redj, I saw my bounce rate drop by 25% and it is still improving.
The developer also has the patience of Job. He proved extremely helpful as I worked through my goofs.

Just wanted to comment that I think this is the best way to deal with any google crawl errors you may be having.
As well, for those interested, It took me a few minutes to figure out that when inserting the error url as an REDJ "item" (I was putting the full URL of the error url, and the redirection url and it simply was not working for me) - I needed to put (error url) /old/url/here.html instead of www.mysite.com/old/url/here.html and then the redirected URL as the full url - www.mysite.com/old/url/here.html - After that, this component worked like a charm
At any rate, my thanks to the developer for such a handy extension, I am well on my way to fixing my google errors at this point thanks to this.

It's time that I'm looking for this kind of extension, before using Joomla I used a different CMS and I'm having some referer that point to some of the old link giving me now a 404 page. Now with this extension I've converted all this 404 pages to the corresponding page in Joomla and my 404 (from google webmstare check) are going down every day.
Thanks to the author of this excellent component!!!

I tried all of the URL Redirection components and plugins and yours is the only one to work!
Thank you for making such a great component available to us!

I was not used to having to install two components and then did not know where to find the readme but it really only took a couple minutes poking around to find out I had to enable the plug-in and could then go about creating url redirects. It worked instantly like it was supposed to.
This is definitely must have for any site. I had approximately 15 404 errors in Google Webmaster and ReDJ fixed all withing two weeks. Super easy to install, it works and it's free!
Great job! Thank you!!!
Great job! Thank you!!!
Did exactly what I needed and was easy to use.
Site had links/pages that needed to be unpublished but those pages ranked high in Google Searches.
Didn't want 404 errors.
Installed and redirected those pages to the Home page and all was well again.
The dynamic macros are nice as well.
Nice job!
