Drupal 7：使用Global redirect模块实现节点路径重定向求助

Hey there! As a Drupal 7 newbie, I get that figuring out redirects can feel a bit tricky at first. Since you already have the Global Redirect module installed, let's break down exactly what you need to do—plus a backup method if Global Redirect alone doesn't fit your use case.

Option 1: Use Global Redirect with Path Aliases (Recommended if events/cpt_award is the alias for node/3691) #

Global Redirect works hand-in-hand with Drupal's core Path module to automatically redirect old node URLs to their clean aliases. Here's how to set it up:

• Step 1: Enable the Path module (if not already active)
  Go to admin/modules and make sure the Path module (under "Core") is checked. Save your changes if you had to enable it.

• Step 2: Set the path alias for node/3691

  1. Navigate to the edit page of node 3691: www.sites.com/node/3691/edit
  2. Scroll down to the Path settings section (you might need to click "Show row weights" or expand the section if it's hidden)
  3. In the Alias field, enter events/cpt_award
  4. Save the node

• Step 3: Configure Global Redirect to enforce the redirect

  1. Go to the Global Redirect settings page: admin/config/search/redirect/settings
  2. Make sure Enable Global Redirect is checked
  3. Check the box for Redirect node canonical URLs to their path aliases
  4. (Optional) If you want to ensure consistent URL formatting (like forcing www or non-www), adjust those settings here too
  5. Save the configuration

Now when someone visits www.sites.com/node/3691, they'll automatically be redirected to www.sites.com/events/cpt_award.

Option 2: Use the Redirect Module (If events/cpt_award is a separate page, not an alias) #

If events/cpt_award isn't an alias for node 3691 but a different page entirely, Global Redirect won't handle this on its own. Instead, install the standalone Redirect module (separate from Global Redirect) and create a custom redirect rule:

• Step 1: Install and enable the Redirect module
  Download the Drupal 7 version of the Redirect module, upload it to your sites/all/modules folder, then enable it at admin/modules.

• Step 2: Create the redirect rule

  1. Go to admin/config/search/redirect/add
  2. In the Source field, enter node/3691 (leave the "Language" dropdown as "All languages" unless you need a language-specific redirect)
  3. In the Redirect to field, select "Internal path" and enter events/cpt_award
  4. Choose 301 (Moved Permanently) as the redirect type (this is best for SEO and permanent redirects)
  5. Save the redirect rule

That's it! This will directly send anyone accessing the old node URL to your target events page.
