Redirects

Visitor redirects are CMS rules evaluated on the public front stack before (or instead of) resolving a page.

Entity

Redirect: from_path, to_path, locale, status_code, is_active.

On save/delete, RedirectRepository syncs a UrlRoute with kind = redirect_source for the from-path (CmsUrlRouteRegistry).

Runtime

1. Front middleware modules.cms.visitor.redirect (VisitorRedirectMiddleware) when cms_routing.visitor_redirects_enabled
2. CmsVisitorRedirectResolver:
   • Skips admin/api/system and reserved system prefixes
   • If an active page_public UrlRoute exists for the path → no redirect (page wins)
   • Else match redirect_source UrlRoute → active Redirect, or fall back to scanning Redirect rows
3. Issues HTTP redirect (clamped 3xx; absolute or site-relative to_path)

Config

• modularous.cms_routing.visitor_redirects_enabled
• modularous.cms_routing.visitor_redirect_exclude_prefixes (e.g. api, sanctum, livewire) — separate from catch-all excludes

See Configuration.
