301 Redirects for pages on a Zope/Plone Site

I want to rename some pages in my Zope/Plone site and I would like to do a 301 permanent redirect so as not to lose the search engine rankings for the old url's

On a normal site I could do this with a htaccess file but on the plone site it doesn't seem to have any effect. I understand that Apache is redirecting the requests to Zope but I want to run my redirect rules before it gets passed on.

Is this possible?

There is Redirection Tool which might work for you.

If not, then you can do the following:

Move the content to its new location.
In the ZMI, create a Python Script object with the same location and id as the old content. The script contents needs to be a one-liner like this: container.REQUEST.response.redirect('http://foo.com/bar',301)

Just change http://foo.com/bar to the location of the new content. When visitors hit the old location, the script will redirect them to the new one.

Note that this should only when you want to redirect one specific URL to a new URL. If you want to do a general redirect, like redirecting your 'www' subdomain to your main domain for SEO purposes, then you should handle that via a static app, as described here: Redirect a Domain with a Static/CGI/PHP App

Hope that helps!
