Hey all. I needed to setup a bunch of redirects for a site I was just deploying and didn’t find a plugin that was working fully correctly. Using NG!Redirect as a base I modified it for it to work for me on 1.0.2. Hopefully others will find this useful. In comments at top I did reference the old plugin, hopefully that is the correct way of crediting the original author.

To install Create a new plugin:
Name: Redirects
Description: <strong>0.0.3</strong> Redirects old URL’s to the new ones
Paste in code below
Edit $sites array with your old pages and docid to redirect to
On system events tab select OnPageNotFound

$sites = array(
	'/oldpage.html' => 1,
	'/contactustoday.html' => 6,
);
$e = &$modx->event;
if($e->name == "OnPageNotFound")
{
	//Get Current URL
	$current = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
	foreach( $sites as $k => $v ){
			if( $k==$current ){
				if( is_numeric($v) ){
					$obj = $modx->getDocumentObject('id', $v);
					$url = $obj['alias'].$modx->config['friendly_url_suffix'];
				}else{
					$url = $v;
				}
				$this->sendRedirect($url, 0, 'REDIRECT_HEADER', 'HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
				exit;
			}
	}	
}

This is awesome you updated this plugin.

I still can’t get this to work with the id’s.
But it does work if I just plugin the urls.

'/oldpage/' => 8, // Doesn't work
'/oldpage/' => '/newpage/', // Does work

Thank you! Your a life savor - moving site with over 400+ url changes (seo is built strong with existing site but the technology was old).

I haven’t tested or tried it for a subfolder/category URL, just the an actual html page. Would probably have to be modified to support something/ versus something.html.

I’ve updated it to handle different base paths and category/folder URLs now. Here is version 0.0.4

/*####

#
####
#
#	Version Notes
#	0.0.4
#	Added the $base and $siteurl variables for handling different site bases
#	Added $siteurl for redirect to handle redircting category
#
###
#
# Usage:
# Enter your old Site-Names and the new static ones or dynamic id's to the following array like..
#

# );
#
####
*/

//Set base url
$base = MODX_BASE_URL;
$siteurl = MODX_SITE_URL;

$sites = array(
	$base.'oldpage.html' => 1,
	$base.'contactustoday.html' => 6,
	$base.'folder/' => 7,
);
$e = &$modx->event;
if($e->name == "OnPageNotFound")
{
	//Get Current URL
	$current = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
	foreach( $sites as $k => $v ){
			if( $k==$current ){
				if( is_numeric($v) ){
					$obj = $modx->getDocumentObject('id', $v);
					$url = $siteurl.$obj['alias'].$modx->config['friendly_url_suffix'];
				}else{
					$url = $v;
				}
				$this->sendRedirect($url, 0, 'REDIRECT_HEADER', 'HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
				exit;
			}
	}	
}
