    Hi there,

    When I try to bulk upload redirects via the Import CSV tab, uploading a CSV doc, or pasting raw CSV information into the 'Paste raw CSV data here' area and PRESS the 'Start Import' button, nothing happens...

    I'm running:

    Redirector 2.0.5
    MODX Rev 2.2.10
    Safari 7.0.3 / Chrome 34.0.1847.116

    Am I missing something obvious here? [ed. note: jonleverrier last edited this post 10 years ago.]

      I'm also finding that redirector is overiding my default 404 error page which is set through MODX:

      Redirector pattern setup:

      Pattern: 123
      Context: blank
      Target: http://newurl/newfolder/123
      Resource: blank

      When I go to http://newurl it redirects to http://newurl/newfolder/123 as expected.

      If I type http://newurl/asdadadasdasdasdasdasdasd which should go to the MODX default 404 page, it redirects to http://newurl/newfolder/123!

      I have over 100 redirects with the same consistency.

      Why is Redirector overriding the default 404 page?

        I was going to say you should report it https://github.com/modxcms/Redirector/issues but you already did. laugh

          Hello, i also have this problem with redirector not being able to use the csv import of paste raw csv. Nothing happens like other say....

          Is there any other extra like redirector that is maintained. This addon is not active/updated i guess for the newer version of Modx Revolution?

          Any other suggestions?

            I just sucessfully imported a CSV of redirects directly into the database. If you have phpMyAdmin access or something similar, you can open the "modx_redirects" table and import a CSV with the following format:

            id,pattern,target,context_key,triggered,triggered_first,triggered_last,active
,old/url/path/,[[~1]],web,,,,1


            Hope that helps!

              It is a pitty. The 404-problem still exists with redirector. Is there any chance that anybody improve redirector to make it work both with regex and 404-pages?

                We use SEO Tab for redirects. Redirector was causing some other issues that I can't recall at the moment so we obliterated it entirely from the Manager. We also use SEO Pro from the same author for other SEO features.
