Middleman::Alias

Add alias/redirect information to your middleman pages and posts.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'middleman-alias'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install middleman-alias

Usage

First you need to activate the module in your config.rb.

activate :alias

Then you need to generate the template that will handle the aliases. You only need to do this one time.

middleman alias_template

Then you can add an alias to the frontmatter for a page or post and middleman-alias will generate a SEO friendly redirect page at that location.

Say that you have a page at /foo.html, but that the page used to live at /old-foo.html. In the frontmatter for foo.html you can alias it to the old address.

title : "A post about foo"
alias : /old-foo.html

Now someone can visit your middleman site at /old-foo.html and they'll be redirected to /foo.html.
