Welcome to djangocms-redirect’s documentation!
djangocms-redirect
A django CMS enabled application to handle redirects
This is heavily borrowed from django.contrib.redirects
with three major changes:
Selection of django CMS pages
Selection of redirect status code
Middleware can processed in the request or response phase
Why using process_request?
Doing database queries in the middleware process_request
is heavily discouraged as it’s a
performance hit, especially when doing redirects which are just a tiny part of the
processed requests.
Except that sometimes it’s just what you need (for example to “hide” content without deleting
/ unpublishing it)
By caching both existing and non existing redirects for a given URL the performance hit is
minimized for the use cases that requires process_request
.
