umbracoRedirect The great hidden Property

I had a scenario that I wanted to redirect a page to another one in my Umbraco solution. I needed my page to be in my structure, but I didn't want it to show anything and I didn't want its url to be shown on the address bar. Then my friend Niels Damkjær showed me a good hidden feature in Umbraco.

There is no need to write code or do something hard. You just need to create a new field in your document type with alias umbracoRedirect and the editor has to be Content Picker. Thats all you need to do :) Something like this:

Then in your page you can select the tab for redirecting which is very cool. 

There is also a post in our Umbraco in here but you don't need to do it with those steps.

* After adding the field for the first time, it did not work for me, but when I restart my webserver it started to work fine.

* It uses the http 302 header to tel the browser to redirect to another page which is the temporary redirect command.
