A very simple plugin which allows admin to set redirects based on url. Redirects can be from existing Moodle pages like from one course to another, or they can be 'vanity' urls from non existing urls into a page inside Moodle.

Configuration
- Navigate to Site Administration > Plugins > Admin tools > Redirects
- Add rules. Each line should be a redirect rule like [php regex of local moodle URL to redirect from]=>[any URL to redirect to]. E.g. #/my/#=>/course/view.php?id=2
- Enable or disable redirects for administrators
Setup vanity urls using Moodle Error pages
If you wish to use redirects for urls which do not exist, eg /some-vanity-url then your webserver needs to be configured to have Moodle handle error pages. Setup details are here:
https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Error_pages
Backdoor option for Admins
Admins can bypass redirect by adding noredirect=1 parameter to requested URL. E.g. http://moodle.example.com/my/?noredirect=1

This is a very useful and gap-filling plugin. Are you planning to upgrade to Moodle 4.5 and 5.0?
