Jekyll::AltUrls

Give your Jekyll posts and pages multiple URLs.

When importing your posts and pages from, say, Tumblr, it's annoying and impractical to create new pages in the proper subdirectories so they, e.g. /post/123456789/my-slug-that-is-often-incompl, redirect to the new post URL.

Instead of dealing with maintaining those pages for redirection, let jekyll-alt-urls handle it for you.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'jekyll-alt-urls'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll-alt-urls

Once it's installed into your evironment, add it to your _config.yml:

gem:
  - jekyll-alt-urls

Usage

The object of this gem is to allow an author to specify multiple URLs for a page, such that the alternative URLs redirect to the new Jekyll URL. This is

To use it, simply add the array to the YAML front-matter of your page or post:

title: My amazing post
alt_urls:
  - /post/123456789
  - /post/123456789/my-amazing-post

This will generate the following pages in the destination:

/post/123456789/index.html
/post/123456789/my-amazing-post/index.html

These pages will contain an HTTP-REFRESH meta tag which redirect to your URL.
