Fix 404 Error Links 2.2.6

POWERFUL FEATURES & USEFUL PARAMETERS

Detailed control panel
On the control panel of this Joomla! component you can view:
- Five most popular error links,
- Five latest error 404 links,
- Redirects with the most hits and their details.
- A few general statistics, like daily, weekly, monthly or the total error links that are or not resolved yet.

View & Fix the Error 404 links
On the Error 404 links page, you will find a list with all the error links (e.g. 400, 401, 403, 404, etc.) their necessary details and a Fix-it button in every row. Use the Search-Tools bar to filter only the errors that have been already fixed or have been non-fixed yet. In addition, you can also search the error links with specific HTTP codes or the errors within a day, in 7 days, in a month, or the latest three months. Finally, at the top-left toolbar, there are two helpful options, to delete all error links or only the ones that have already been resolved.

Redirections
On the page “Redirects”, you can see a list with the already-fixed URLs. View the match type of the redirect (e.g. Full URL, Contains, Starts or Ends with a string, Find and Replace), the source URL or text, the target URL when matched with its match type, the hits and the and the date-time of last accessed.

Add redirection
You can easily add a redirect by filling the below fields.

• Match type: There are five match types. (a. full URL b. contains a string, c. starts with a string, d. end with a string, e. find and replace).
• Source URL or text: the relative URL or the text you want to redirect. You can also use PHP regular expressions. For example, if you have to match all the error URLs that include the strings “coding” and “programming”, the source URL field should be like this “/(coding|programming)/”.
• When matched: when the error URL or the text matches, the user will redirect to a) URL, b) menu item, c) an error page with custom HTTP code, d) do nothing (just for the hits).
• Target URL or text: The target URL can be a custom URL or an existing menu item.
• Notes: You can add some private memos for each redirect, only displayed at the backend.

Logging
We offer you three types of logging:

1. log the 404 error URLs
2. log the error URLs that come from bots
3. log the error URLs that include at least one danger string.

Instant email notifications
Benefit from instant email notifications about the 404 error links. You will receive a detailed email that includes crucial information about the error link, the Attempter’s Country, the IP address, the web browser, and the operating system. In the end, you will find an action button that will transfer you to the Joomla administrator panel and will help you fix this link quickly.

Email restrictions
Set the proper amount of notifications you want to receive about your 404 Error Links.

Send email only once for the same error link.
The email notification will be sent only once for each error link.

Send email only if there have been over X time visits at an error link.
You will receive an email notification only if the visits (hits) of the error link overcome the given count.

Redirect all 404 Error links on one page
You can choose to automatically redirect all 404 links to one single page, a custom URL or a menu item. This parameter will not override the error URLs that have been already fixed (Redirects).

Extra security with the danger strings
Redirect all URLs that contain a danger string to one specific page, a custom URL or a menu item. You will also be able to manage the list of the danger strings. You can insert more danger strings by adding one entry per row.

GeoIP2 Webservice
The extension will not be working for IP addresses that come from the selected Continents or Countries. Not working means that the URLs will be redirected as have been set, without storing any logs or sending any email notifications.
