Installation Instructions

1) Install the Admin Compunix Add-on menu and add the following line into the add-on links section specified:

Carts up to MS9420:

cRoot.ChildItems.Add(GetMenuItem("Existing Pages URL Redirects Install", "EPURInstall", "http://documentation.ecommercecartmods.com/ExistingRedirects.aspx", "_blank")); 
    cRoot.ChildItems.Add(GetMenuItem("Compunix Existing URL Redirects", "CompunixRedirects", "compunixredirects.aspx"));

Carts MS9500 and newer:

<li><a href="http://documentation.ecommercecartmods.com/ExistingRedirects.aspx" target="_blank">Existing Pages URL Redirects instructions</a></li>
<li><a href="compunixredirects.aspx">Compunix Existing URL</a></li>

Carts v10:

<li><a href="http://documentation.ecommercecartmods.com/ExistingRedirects.aspx" target="_blank">Existing Pages URL Redirects instructions</a></li>
<li><a href="Compunix_ExistingRedirects.aspx">Compunix Existing URL</a></li>

2) Copy the correct version of CompunixCommon.dlldownloaded from the Code Base link into /bin directory.

3) Upload the license file/appconfig to your cart. If you don't have a license send an email to support@compunix.uswith your order number and domain information.

4) Copy/Merge the files from the "Modified files" directory in the .zip file to your web site's root folder. If your admin directory is not "admin", you may have to copy any files in the admin directory manually.

5) Save the files above and navigate to the admin. If you do not see the an entry for Compunix Redirects under the Content Menu, click Reset Cache.

This option step will add the page title. For MS9xxx navigate to Admin > Content > String Resource Mgr, (for V10 Admin > Content > Manage Prompts) select the locale you use from the left local drop down, and add new string called admin.title.compunixredirects with value of Compunix Redirects.

6) For V10 skip to step 9, else Open the SkinBase.csfile in the root/App_Codedirectory.

7) At the end of the SkinBase() constructor, about line 110 before the closing }, paste the following code:

    //COMPUNIX - Redirects 
    /****************************************************************************

    CompunixCommon.ExistingRedirects existingRedirects = new CompunixCommon.ExistingRedirects(); 
    existingRedirects.DoRedirect(); 
    //END COMPUNIX - Redirects

8) Save the file.

9) Web Site Configuration

There are two reasons to use the Existing Redirects module, they both require different cofiguration approaches

1) to redirect away from an EXISTING (published) page and

2) if a page doesn't exist, send the caller to an existing page.

3) Note: You can also implement both solutions

Option 1 - add this into the OnApplicationStartCompleted method (either in the application dll or on the global overloaded page

   public class MvcGlobal : AspDotNetStorefront.Application.MvcApplication
    {
        public MvcGlobal()
        {
            ApplicationStartCompleted += OnApplicationStartCompleted;
        }

        void OnApplicationStartCompleted(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
			//COMPUNIX - existing redirects
			GlobalFilters.Filters.Add(new Compunix.MVCFrontEnds.Controllers.ControllerDecorations.ExistingRedirectsGlobalFilterAttribute());
			//COMPUNIX - existing redirects	}
    }

Option 2 - Replace existing error redirects in the web.config with the Compunix version.

<httpErrors errorMode="Custom" defaultResponseMode="ExecuteURL" existingResponse="Replace">
			<clear />
			<error statusCode="400" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=400"  />
			<error statusCode="401" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=401" />
			<error statusCode="403" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=403" />

			<error statusCode="412" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=412" />
			<error statusCode="413" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=413" />
			<error statusCode="414" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=414" />

			<error statusCode="416" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=416" />
			<error statusCode="417" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=417" />
			<error statusCode="500" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=500" />
			<error statusCode="501" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=501" />
			<error statusCode="502" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=502" />
			<error statusCode="503" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=503" />
			<error statusCode="504" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=504" />
			<error statusCode="505" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/Compunix/error?statusCode=505" />
		</httpErrors>

10) To setup the redirects for your unpublished or deleted cart pages, open the Compunix Redirects page under the Admin Content menu (for V10 Admin > Compunix Add-Ons >Redirects for ....) and enter the "from" and "to" page links. Use the exact links the cart generates for those pages. Be sure to use relative links, for example "folder/page.html" rather than "http://www.yoursite.com/folder/page.html"
