After you migrate an abacus page to ICMS, what do you do with the old page? Replace it with a META REFRESH page, which will send the user to the updated URL. Get the HTML code of the META refresh page in this example.
Be sure to change the destination page in two places:
Line 6: <meta content="3;URL=http://www.bates.edu/for-alumni.xml"
http-equiv="Refresh">
Line 11: click <a href="http://www.bates.edu/for-alumni.xml">here</a>.
Line 6 is the really important line of code. That's the line which tells the browser where to go and how long to wait before going there (3 seconds). Note that the two pieces of information are both together within quotes, separated by a semicolon.
In addition to building a META REFRESH page, be sure to add your page to the redirector database.
