CMS Kit Pro: URL Forwarding System

You must have an ABP Team or a higher license to use CMS Kit Pro module's features.

CMS Kit provides a URL forwarding system to create URLs that redirect to other pages or external websites.

Enabling the URL Forwarding System

By default, CMS Kit features are disabled. Therefore, you need to enable the features you want, before starting to use it. You can use the Global Feature system to enable/disable CMS Kit features on development time. Alternatively, you can use the ABP's Feature System to disable a CMS Kit feature on runtime.

In addition to enabling Url Shorting global feature, you need to add UrlShortingMiddleware to your final application.

using Volo.CmsKit.Pro.Public.Web.Middlewares;
.
.
        public override void OnApplicationInitialization(ApplicationInitializationContext context)
        {
            var app = context.GetApplicationBuilder();

            app.UseMiddleware<UrlShortingMiddleware>();
            .
            .

Table / collection prefix & schema

All tables/collections use the Cms prefix by default. Set static properties on the CmsKitDbProperties class if you need to change the table prefix or set a schema name (if supported by your database provider).

Connection string

This module uses CmsKit for the connection string name. If you don't define a connection string with this name, it fallbacks to the Default connection string.

See the connection strings documentation for details.
