// Personally I don't do 301 directs but let a search plugin on 404 suggest new address to the visitorhttp://forums.modx.com/thread/88953/friendly-urls-using-302-redirect-rather-than-301
or just set up the old address as a weblink.
Google rank new pages super-fast and if the _content_ of the old page is changing so will the rankings too in a short time.
&pg=Error Page;
$e = & $modx->Event;
switch ($e->name) {
case "OnPageNotFound":
if(!$pg) $modx->sendErrorPage();
else{
//Parse out the requested page.
$errorword = str_replace("/", " ", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
if ($errorword != '') {
//Find the .html
$errorwordSuffix = ".html";
//Remove the .html
if(stristr($errorword,$errorwordSuffix)) {
$errorword = str_replace($errorwordSuffix, " ", $errorword);
}
}
//Redirect to the new page with a 301 header
$modx->sendRedirect('http://www.YOURSITE.com/'.$errorword, 0, 'REDIRECT_HEADER', 'HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
exit;
}

return; // stop here
