On a corporate website managed with TYPO3 there are shortcuts defined which lead to a page on the site.
Example:
Corporate website is www.acompany.com
Then there is a site www.acompany.com/coolproduct which is redirecting the user to www.acompany.com/products/productgroup3/product25.htm for example.
Where in TYPO3 can such "shortcut" links be defined?
Most probably some page in the page tree has set type to: Shortcut which causes that it points some other page or resource, it's also possible that is set as Link to External URL and there is full URL given.
Check the page tree in the backend and find your coolproduct page in it. Then check the site's properties and change if required to other value/type.
It's also possible that this URL is generated by some plugin or TypoScript, but in this case you'll need to investigate it yourself.
Simplest way to find these kinds of things is actually using the search engine in the TYPO3 backend. You will find it in the upper right corner.
If this fails, what I do is install PhpMyAdmin from the extension repository. Once you have PhpMyAdmin you can use it's search functionality to find anything in the database using a search query of: '%coolproduct%' and selecting all tables. In the results look for the 'pid' field. It tells you on which page in TYPO3 the found item is located.
Does the page use the extension realURL? If so, there might be realURL redirects defined.
Have a look at page -> info -> RealUrl -> Redirects
Maybe you the user has defined this link redirection in many pages, you can search for it in the database exactly in the tt_content table.
You can set shortcut for your domain to any page of your site, so when user enter only your domain name in url then it redirects to page which you set in shortcut.
For that edit your domain and set shortcut to any page of your page tree.

In the past we organized pages inside the page-tree by putting them into pages like "meta" or "submenu". These pages had the option "exclude from speaking url" so their name was not rendered to the url.
Is there any option to do this in TYPO3 9.5 to ignore pages from generating the "slug"?
as example:
WRONG: https: //www.somedomain.tld/metamenu/terms-and-conditions/
RIGHT: https: //www.somedomain. tld/terms-and-conditions/
How to "ignore" the page "metamenu" for automatic-generating the slug?
Best regards

It is mandatory for a page to have set a slug and every menulevel will generate another url part. It is not possible to exclude a page - think about how to access this page via url
Here Mathias Schreiber tells a bit about this feature: Feature Demo - Speaking URLs Part 1
The TYPO3 extension "masi" provides this feature, including an upgrade wizard that migrates the realurl tx_realurl_exclude settings.
Have you tried using a Folder instead of a "Page"?
page/page/page
somedomain.tld/metamenu/terms-and-conditions/
page/folder/page
somedomain.tld/terms-and-conditions/
You can leave the parent-page as it is and edit your child-pages. There you can delete parts of the urls in the slug-field.
There's a feature in RealURL for TYPO3 8.7 "Exclude from speaking URL". If set 'domain.com/page-one/' loads 'page-one' and 'domain.com/subpage-of-page-one/' loads 'subpage-of-page-one' with no need of 'page-one' in the URL.
The very same thing can be achieved in TYPO3 9.5 manually editing slugs but you can't set the parent page to be excluded from the URL automatically.
It's a missing feature.
I had the same Problem. Sadly there is no "good" solution as far as i know. But there is a little trick. You can fix this in the database. I deleted all my "slug"-entries in in the database for my pages. Then i wrote in all pages wich should not show in the url in slug "/". This does sadly not work in TYPO3, because the BE allows just one "/" and the second "/" will be changed to "/1". But in the Database you can do it. After you edited the slug for your page metamenu and other to "/", you can go into the upgrade-wizard in the installtools, reset the "generate slugs" task and run this task again. This is sadly the only solution i came up with.
it is possible to have a direct path to a special news entry?
example:
my link is: http://www.domain.de/start/topnewsdetail/news/really-long-name-of-news-entry.html
and it would be nice to have
http://www.domain.de/newsEntry.html.
Can someone give a hint?
it is a little bit complicated if you want a general automatic solution.
you can do it by hand if you insert pages of type 'external url' where you insert the long path as external url.
with realurl you have problems as realurl at least will use one path segment for the page with the detail view before the last segment which is for identifying the news record. AFAIK coolurl can ommit the path segemnt for the page.
on the other hand: make sure the news identification (title, subtitle?) is unique and does not collide with pathes for normal pages.
at last you can use .htaccess rewrites, but that needs to differentiate between short urls for news and short urls for top-level pages. So those urls will show the page, those urls are not generated inside of TYPO3 and so nowhere used (except manual)
this EXT. adds a custom link to records like system category or news:
https://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/recordlink
It'S deployed for TYPO3 6.2 but perhabs it'S helpful to create an own EXT.?
My breadcrumbs are broken because of incorrect link to home page.
Please tell me, how can I change the "Link to document" parameter manually.
I use umbraco 4.7.2
I need the omain name only on home page and full absolute pathes on internal pages.
Thanks.
Right Click on on Home Content and select Manage Hosting.
Enter Domain Name and select Language and click on Add New Domain / Update button.
Your "link to document" field is set to "/" which from your question sounds like what you wanted? If not you have a few options.
Check out these settings that you can use for giving a page an alternative url or name:
http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbraco-best-practices/umbracourlname
One of those might best suit your issue. umbracoUrlAlias allows you to pick a different url that can be used to render the same page (handy for correcting incorrect urls).
I'd highly recommend installing the 301 redirect package to avoid some of these issues in the future: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/301-url-tracker

I have a page on my DotNetNuke site and I would like to set up a redirect and was wondering the best way to do it. Here is the problem:
I have a page on the site: mydomain.com/dashbaord.aspx. I would like users to be able to type mydomain.com/dashboard OR mydomain.com/Dashboard and it will redirect them to the /dashboard.aspx page.
I have IIS6, so I set up wildcard mapping, and it seemed to work for /dashboard, but not /Dashboard. Also, I am looking for it to literally redirect you so that /dashbaord.aspx shows up in the address bar. In addition, the wildcard mapping broke some other links on the site, so I was looking for an alternative method to accomplish this. Is there a way that I can set this up through IIS? Or any other way?
Thanks in advance for the help.
In IIS, create a virtual directory by right clicking on Sites, and then call it Dashboard. Then set that to redirect to a specific URL, in your case, http://mydomain.com/dashboard.aspx.
For example in past my website look like this:
Example: www.mywebsite.com/keyword
Now look like this:
Example: www.mywebsite.com/search.php?q=keyword
How can i redirect people who search for a specific tag to my new link?
From "www.mywebsite.com/keyword" to "www.mywebsite.com/search.php?q=keyword"
I'm not so good with coding so based to my examples can somebody make the code that need to be inserted in htaccess file pls.
This are the examples of links:
OLD: www.mywebsite.com/keyword
NEW: www.mywebsite.com/search.php?q=keyword
That redirecting is called URL Rewriting, and is usually done via a .htaccess file for Apache, or with magic if you're using Lighttpd.
I would take a look at this website, which more or less explains how to do it (assuming you're running Apache): http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/sitemanagement/urlrewriting.html
The specific details depend on the web server being used (IIS, Apache, etc.) but basically you could configure those to redirect to a specific web page and extract the keyword from the original URL and place it in the query string parameter list.
For example, in IIS you would do the following:
Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Internet Services Manager
Select your web site from the list and right-click to go Properties.
The Custom Errors tab is where you will see a list of HTTP errors.
Select the "404" page and "Edit Properties" to point this to a web page of your choosing.
The last step is where you will plug in your custom code that will handle the redirect.
