# Django Permalinks

This Django App acts as an internal redirector. Most likely use cases are when you have changed your URL scheme for a few pages, but your visitors still have the Old URL - this app can help you redirect the old scheme to the new one.

# Free URL Shortner

This Django app also provides a free URL shortner. In order to use it:

1. Use the Django Admin to make a new object of Permalinks.

2. While creating an object, you should see a link which says "Generate a random string". Click it.

3. Click the "Use this string" link when it appears.

4. Enter the long URL in the 'NEW URL' box above.

# Installation

Install from PyPI:

```terminal

pip install django-permalinks

```

# Configurations

1. Add `permalinks` to your list of `INSTALLED_APPS` in settings.py:

    ```python

    INSTALLED_APPS = [

        ...

        'permalinks',

        ...

    ]

    ```

3. Add the permalinks URLs to `urls.py` of your base app **on the top of the list**:

     ```python

    urlpatterns = [

       url('', include('permalinks.urls')),

       ...

    ]

    ```

4. Add the permalinks middleware to `settings.py` **on the top of the list**:

    ```python

    MIDDLEWARE = [

       'permalinks.middleware.main.PermalinksMiddleware',

       ...

    ]

    ```

5. Run `manage.py migrate` to create the required table for the permalinks model.

6. Create your `permalinks` objects in your Django admin interface.

7. Test your OLD URLs and their responses by visiting them.

8. Enjoy a smooth URL migration!
