djangocms-redirect 0.2.1

A django CMS enabled application to handle redirects

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.
