Summary:

Redirect the user to either an error page or to a new tab.  If redirecting to a new tab then send a '301' to update search engines and such.

The feature set for this version is fairly straight forward.

• Customizable error page.
• Definable redirect for obsolete pages.
• On redirect send Response 301 “Moved Permanently“ to update search engines and such.
• Tab Selection for typos or unanticipated errors.

Install like any regular PA... (But with a couple of twists)

• Add Custom404 to any page and make the page or the module Administrator view only. (I just put it on the main page and hide it from reqular users).
• Go to the option window and set the logo graphic and the error text.
• Then go to the edit page and add the appropriate old pages and new tabs for automatic redirection.
• Finally either edit your IIS custom errors or ask your provider to point the 404 error at: ....\DesktopModules\Slalom Custom404\SlalomCustom404Page.aspx.
• This completes the setup.

Known Bugs

There are no known bugs at release but...  There are a couple of caveats.

• One page redirect must be defined.
• Iexportable is not implemented.

Roadmap:

• AccessDataProvider
• URL Abstraction.
• Considerations from the Community.
