What is the best approach for redirection of old p

2019-01-20 23:41发布

I have blog on github pages - jekyll

What is the best way to solve url strategy migration?

I found the best practice in common is create htaccess like so

Redirect 301 /programovani/2010/04/git-co-to-je-a-co-s-tim/ /2010/04/05/git-co-to-je-a-co-s-tim.html

But it does not seems to work with Github. Another solution i found is create rake task, which will generate redirection pages. But since it's an html, it's not able to send 301 head, so SE crawlers will not recognize it as an redirection.

redirect-from plugin https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from#redirect-to is supported by GitHub and makes it easy:

_config.yml:

gems:
  - jekyll-redirect-from

a.md:

---
permalink: /a
redirect_to: 'http://example.com'
---

as explained at: https://help.github.com/articles/redirects-on-github-pages/

Now:

firefox localhost:4000/a

will redirect you to example.com.

The plugin takes over whenever the redirect_to is defined by the page.

Tested on GitHub pages v64.

Note: this version has a serious recently fixed bug which wrongly reuses the default layout for the redirect: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from/pull/106

Manual layout method

If you don't feel like using https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from it's easy to implement it yourself:

a.md:

---
layout: 'redirect'
permalink: /a
redir_to: 'http://example.com'
sitemap: false
---

_layouts/redirect.html based on Redirect from an HTML page :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Redirecting...</title>
  {% comment %}
    Don't use 'redirect_to' to avoid conflict
    with the page redirection plugin: if that is defined
    it takes over.
  {% endcomment %}
  <link rel="canonical" href="{{ page.redir_to }}"/>
  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url={{ page.redir_to }}" />
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Redirecting...</h1>
  <a href="{{ page.redir_to }}">Click here if you are not redirected.<a>
  <script>location='{{ page.redir_to }}'</script>
</body>
</html>

Like this example, the redirect-from plugin does not generate 301s, only meta + JavaScript redirects.

We can verify what is going on with:

curl localhost:4000/a

Have you tried the Jekyll Alias Generator plugin?

You put the alias urls in the YAML front matter of a post:

---
  layout: post
  title: "My Post With Aliases"
  alias: [/first-alias/index.html, /second-alias/index.html]
---

When a user visits one of the alias urls, they are redirected to the main url via a meta tag refresh:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/blog/my-post-with-aliases/" />
  </head>
</html>

The best option is to avoid url changes altogether by setting the permalink format in _config.yml to match your old blog.

Beyond that, the most complete solution is generating redirect pages, but isn't necessarily worth the effort. I ended up simply making my 404 page a bit friendlier, with javascript to guess the correct new url. It doesn't do anything for search, but actual users can get to the page they were looking for and there's no legacy stuff to support in the rest of the code.

The best solution is to use both <meta http-equiv="refresh" and <link rel="canonical" href=

It works very well, Google Bot reindexed my entire website under new links without losing positions. Also the users are redirected to the new posts right away.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://konradpodgorski.com/blog/2013/10/21/how-i-migrated-my-blog-from-wordpress-to-octopress/">
<link rel="canonical" href="http://konradpodgorski.com/blog/2013/10/21/how-i-migrated-my-blog-from-wordpress-to-octopress/" />

Using <meta http-equiv="refresh" will redirect each visitor to the new post. As for Google Bot, it treats <link rel="canonical" href= as 301 redirect, the effect is that you get your pages reindexed and that is what you want.

I described whole process how I moved my blog from Wordpress to Octopress here. http://konradpodgorski.com/blog/2013/10/21/how-i-migrated-my-blog-from-wordpress-to-octopress/#redirect-301-on-github-pages

This solution allows you to use true HTTP redirects via .htaccess — however, nothing involving .htaccess will work on GitHub pages because they do not use Apache.

As of May 2014 GitHub Pages supports redirects, but according to the jekyll-redirect-from Gem documentation they are still based on HTTP-REFRESH (using <meta> tags), which requires full a page load before redirection can occur.

I don't like the <meta> approach so I whipped up a solution for anyone looking to provide real HTTP 301 redirects within an .htaccess file using Apache, which serves a pre-generated Jekyll site:


First, add .htaccess to the include property in _config.yml

include: [.htaccess]

Next, create an .htaccess file and be sure to include YAML front matter. Those dashes are important because now Jekyll will parse the file with Liquid, Jekyll's templating language:

---
---
DirectoryIndex index.html

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

...

Make sure your posts that require redirects have two properties like so:

---
permalink: /my-new-path/
original: blog/my/old/path.php
---

Now in .htaccess, just add a loop:

{% for post in site.categories.post %}
  RewriteRule ^{{ post.original }} {{ post.permalink }} [R=301,L]
{% endfor %}

This will dynamically generate .htaccess every time you build the site, and the include in your config file ensures that .htaccess makes it into _site directory.

RewriteRule ^blog/my/old/path.php /my-new-path/ [R=301,L]

From there, it's up to you to serve _site using Apache. I normally clone the full Jekyll repo into a non-webroot directory, then my vhost is a symlink to the _site folder:

ln -s /path/to/my-blog/_site /var/www/vhosts/my-blog.com

Tada! Now Apache can serve the _site folder from your virtual root, complete with .htaccess-powered redirects that use whichever HTTP response code you desire!

You could even get super fancy and use a redirect property within each post's front matter to designate which redirect code to use in your .htaccess loop.

As others have mentioned, the best solution is to preserve working URLs or duplicate the pages and specify a canonical URL.

Since github pages doesn't support true redirects, I chose to set up rerouter on Heroku to return 301 (permanent) redirects from my site's old domain to the new one. I described the details here:
