## ABOUT

_alias_ is a plugin for the open-source web publishing software called [Dotclear](https://www.dotclear.org).

> Create aliases of your blog's URLs.

## REQUIREMENTS

* Dotclear 2.28
* PHP 8.1+
* Dotclear admin permission for management

## USAGE

First install _alias_, manualy from a zip package or from 
Dotaddict repository. (See Dotclear's documentation to know how do this)

You can manage your aliases from menu ''Alias'' on admin dashboard sidebar.

## RULES

* Only blog URLs can be redirected.
* It can redirect a specific URL "plop" to another one "post/2023/04/24/my-post".
* It can redirect all URLs that content "plop" using alias "/plop/" by replacing it by destination "post" into requesting URL. (Even if it's not at the begining of the URL!)
* It can not redirect an alias to another alias. 
* It has priority on all ohters URLs handlers, so if you create an alias of an existing page, the destination from plugin _alias_ will be used.

Keep in mind, plugin _alias_ loads all registered aliases to test them on each page load, 
so more there are aliases, more page load is slow.
