Hi!

We want to move our content from articles to tabs in order to centralize information in our shop.
Normally when faced with an 301 situation, I would assign old URL to target URL as alias - by doing an SEF url search.

I see that it is no problem creating SEF urls with anchors and redirect to them, if added manually.

My question is if I can configure sh404sef to add #anchor URLS automaticaly, so they are searchable and I don't need to manually add them ?

Cheers,
prokop

Sorry you can't do that. The redirect target is a URL (and anchors are not, they are just an inside-page target). We respect anchors when it's present in the non-sef URL, but not at redirect level.

We want to move our content from articles to tabs in order to centralize information in our shop.

Just be aware that Google has advised not to do that, and will penalize content that's not visible to the user at page load. I disagree with them, at least for some use case (such as FAQ, where user experience is better IMHO with accordion than anything else), but it's what they have publicly stated, so hiding content with js is maybe not such a good idea, SEO wise.
Here is a good blog post, with links to the original statements from Google on the matter.
