Updated - Creating a short url or redirect page in SiteManager

  • Create your short url section (making sure to de-select show in navigation)



  • Change the Page Layout to 'ASP Redirect' on the 'Marjon 2016 Channel'


  • Duplicate the Code Only content type entitled 'redirect code' from 'Home » Marjon » Home » PG redirect' on SiteManager into your new short url section

  • Modify the content and update the url to the page you want to redirect to - the url is enclosed by " " (this could be the normal url or a Google Campaign url if you want to gather statistics)

  • Update and approve your new content
  • Publish the new section and check that the redirect works correctly

How does the Course Search work?

The course search searches web page names that are physically in the root of the course section of the website  http://www.marjon.ac.uk/courses/courses/  - not the entire website. If you want any courses to appear from the search then it needs to be added to the courses section of the website. One way of doing this is  to create a duplicate branch under  http://www.marjon.ac.uk/courses/courses/  which does not show in navigation but allows for the course to come up under the course search.  This would need to be done for any other non-standard courses if you wanted to use the course search for them.
