The MSCS Redirect Plugin is for performing various redirects. Its primary function is to redirect users if they get the wrong case in the URL. It can also be adapted to change the view script path (such as for Events/ACSW2009).

Syntax Rules

• No syntax; this cannot be activates on every page load regardless of topic content.

Functionality
