wagtail-cjk404 23.7.1

A Wagtail app to automatically log and/or manually create of redirects for 404 pages from within Wagtail admin panel.

Managed 404 Pages with Redirects

Description

A Wagtail package which will give you ability to automatically log and create of redirects from within Wagtail admin panel.

Features

• Automatic "404 Not Found" HTTP Error Detection Following the Non-Existent Page Opening
• Support for Redirects to Wagtail Pages

How It Works

• Regular Expression → Regular Expression [currently in development]
• Regular Expression → URL
• Regular Expression → Wagtail Page
• URL → URL
• URL → Wagtail Page

Repository inspired by / based on a fork of:

• wagtail_managed404 - abandoned in 2018
• django-regex-redirects.

Both projects were similar (one Model class and fairly uncomplicated Middleware), so the easiest thing was simply to combine them, and work onwards from this base. Below, you can see the classes comparison of those two.

Django Regex Redirects	Wagtail Managed 404 (Cjk404)
class Redirect(models.Model)	class PageNotFoundEntry(models.Model)
• old_path	• url
• new_path	• redirect_to_url or redirect_to_page
• regular_expression	-
• fallback_redirect	-
• nr_times_visited	• hits

Testing

Use either Django test runner (python manage.py test cjk404) or pytest.

Dependencies

• wagtail.contrib.modeladmin (https://docs.wagtail.io/en/stable/reference/contrib/modeladmin/index.html)

This package is used for the admin panel itself.

Usage

Fresh install

1. Get the app from PyPI: pip install wagtail-cjk404

2. Add 'cjk404' to the INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'wagtail.contrib.modeladmin', # required dependency
    'cjk404'
    ...
]

3. Add the supplied middleware. You may also want to disable Wagtail's default RedirectMiddleware:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'cjk404.middleware.PageNotFoundRedirectMiddleware',
    # "wagtail.contrib.redirects.middleware.RedirectMiddleware",
]

4. Run the migrations:

python manage.py migrate

5. Visit the Wagtail admin area. You should see any 404s recorded in the application, and you can add redirects to them. You can also add your own redirects, e.g. based on regexp.

Upgrade from the old (dj-apps-cjk404) version

1. Remove folder apps/cjk404 with all contents
2. Change 'apps.cjk404' to 'cjk404' in INSTALLED_APPS.
3. Get the app from PyPI: ```pip install wagtail-cjk404``
4. You're done!

Development

Utility scripts - testing

Assuming you have Django>=4.0 and Wagtail>=3.0 pip-installed in your virtual environment, you do not need to set up a new Django/Wagtail project to develop/test the app.

After you git clone the repository, use load_tests.py to call boot_django and then to execute the unit tests.
