Add alias/redirect information to your middleman pages and posts.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'middleman-alias'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install middleman-alias
First you need to activate the module in your config.rb. Make sure
that it is the LAST thing activated. It's important that other modules
have the opportunity to do their own URL manipulations before the
alias redirect pages are generated.
activate :alias
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.
If you end an alias with a / that alias will be treated as a virtual
directory.
title : "A post about foo"
alias : old-foo/
The example above will result in a redirect file being generated at
/old-foo/index.html, which will be accessible to browsers at /old-foo/.
title : "A post about foo"
alias : ["old-foo/", "older-foo/"]
Passing an array will allow you to redirect multiple old pages (or directories) to your new page.
