Hi All

One of the bugaboos with dealing with a static site is that sometimes categories get dropped, or just sometimes some links get dropped. For example, if you have Category A with 100 links and you drop, say, 50 of those links, then (assuming 10 links per page), you suddenly negate 5 pages on your site. However, visitors might still have those pages in their Favorites and search engines might still list those old pages, too. Yes, I know that we can use Fileman to manually make the adjustments, but that still leaves open the possibility that current users would wonder where the heck their pages went. Plus, it could be a big chunk of time to go through everything.

So, I'm looking for a way to have the Build routine determine how many pages are required for a particular category, examine the contents of that directory, rebuild the new content and then take the remaining existing pages and either delete them or convert them to redirects that go to either the top of the site or the top of their respective categories.

With this kind of site cleanup in the system, it could make site maintenance easy to maintain for a non-tech person.

Think this is possible?

Many thanks.
