Comprehensive URL redirect capabilities with an intuitive admin interface, pattern matching, multi-site support, and seamless integration with Magnolia's content management system.

Problems and Challenges Solved:

• Managing URL redirects across complex Magnolia DXP installations with multiple sites
• Handling legacy URL structures when migrating or restructuring content
• Supporting both simple redirects and complex pattern-based URL transformations
• Providing an intuitive interface for non-technical users to manage redirects
• Integrating redirect management with Magnolia's content management workflow

Benefits:

• No coding required - Business users can manage redirects through Magnolia's familiar AdminCentral interface
• Flexibility - Supports simple redirects, wildcards, regex patterns, and multi-site configurations
• Performance - Server-side processing with efficient pattern matching
• Testing capabilities - Preview redirects and QR codes for mobile testing before publishing
• Seamless integration - Works with Magnolia's existing URI mapping system and supports both traditional and headless setups

How It Works:

1. Redirects are stored in a dedicated redirects workspace in Magnolia
2. The module registers virtual URI mappings that intercept incoming requests
3. When a request matches a redirect pattern, it either:
   • Sends HTTP 301/302 redirects to the client
   • Performs internal server-side forwards (transparent to the user)
4. Pattern matching supports wildcards (*) and regex with parameter substitution
5. Site-specific rules with automatic fallback to global redirects

Top 3-5 Features:

1. Pattern Matching - Advanced wildcard and regex support with parameter substitution (e.g., /product-(\d+) → /products/$1)
2. Multi-site Support - Site-specific redirects with automatic fallback mechanisms
3. Server-side Forwards - Internal request forwarding without client-side redirects
