Configurable redirects for Moodle

A very simple plugin which allows admin to set redirects based on url. Redirects can
be from existing Moodle pages like from one course to another, or they can be 'vanity'
urls from non existing urls into a page inside Moodle.

Branches

| Moodle version | Branch | PHP |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------|
| Moodle 4.1+ | MOODLE_401_STABLE | 7.4+ |

Installation

Using git submodule:

git submodule add git@github.com:catalyst/moodle-tool_redirects.git admin/tool/redirects

OR you can download as a zip from github

https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-tool_redirects/archive/master.zip

Extract this into /var/www/yourmoodle/admin/tool/redirects

Then run the moodle upgrade as normal.

https://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_plugins

Configuration

• Navigate to Site Administration > Plugins > Admin tools > Redirects


• Add rules. Each line should be a redirect rule like [php regex of local moodle URL to redirect from]=>[any URL to redirect to]. E.g. #/my/#=>/course/view.php?id=2


• Enable or disable redirects for administrators

If you wish to use redirects for urls which do not exist, eg /some-vanity-url then your webserver
needs to be configured to have Moodle handle error pages. Setup details are here:

https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Error_pages

Backdoor option for Admins

Admins can bypass redirect by adding noredirect=1 parameter to requested URL. E.g. http://moodle.example.com/my/?noredirect=1
