How to Create a Redirect Using Site URL Mappings

Search Engine Friendly (SEF) URL’s are shortened links (“aliases”) used to optimize a club’s Google search results and provide users with a easier to remember URL.

The Site URL Mappings module is used to create URL redirects. For example if you have a page on the site that you want to reference with a shorter easier to remember URL, then you can set that up here.

 

Log in to admin home.
Click on Advanced Configuration in the Applications box, then click on Site URL Mappings. sef-urls_02.png
Fill in the Source URL using the relative URL (you don’t need the domain). This is the shortened version of the URL you’re trying to create. sef-urls_03
Fill in the Destination URL using the relative URL. This is the longer link you’re trying to shorten. sef-urls_04
Click Create. sef-urls_05
Click the Clear Cache button in the lower right corner.sef-urls_06
Test your new redirect by putting the club’s domain into your browser along with the Source URL from step 3 above. sef-urls_07
Your browser should now be redirected to the URL that you set in the Destination URL field. sef-urls_08
