README

Provides a way to redirect requests based on an Entity stored in the database. Features:

• redirect client based on the request path, e.g. '/something'
• internal and external redirects to a path or url
• with start/end datetime
• configurable http status code
• keeps the query string parameters when redirecting

Installation

Add this to your composer.json:

    ...
    "require": {
        ...
        "genj/short-url-bundle": "dev-master"
        ...

Then run composer update. After that is done, enable the bundle in your AppKernel.php:

# app/AppKernel.php
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles() {
        $bundles = array(
            ...
            new Genj\ShortUrlBundle\GenjShortUrlBundle()
            ...

Finally, update your database schema:

php app/console doctrine:schema:update

And you're done.

Usage

Add a new record to your database. Example:

• source: /my-old-url
• target: /my-new-url
• httpStatusCode: 301
• publishAt: (now)

FAQ

My redirect is not working through app.php, but it works through app_dev.php

If you have enabled caching, it can happen that a 404 response is stored in the http cache, so clear your caches. The redirect requests themselves have private caching headers.
