NEW - Redirect Plugin…
Development and Programming
Hi Andy,
Here is another piece of code which also should achieve what you want:
{if segment_1 == ""}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="home" dynamic="off" disable="member_data|trackbacks" limit="1"}
//do some stuff
{/exp:weblog:entries}
{if:else}
<!--GET ALL CASESTUDIES BASED ON CURRENT PAGE-->
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="casestudy" disable="member_data|trackbacks"}
<!--IF THERES ONLY ONE RESULT...-->
{if total_results == 1}
<!--...REDIRECT TO THE ACTUAL CASESTUDY PAGE-->
{exp:redirect_to location='/casestudy/{categories show_group="4"}{category_url_title}{/categories}/{url_title}' method="script"}
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}
{/if}
Ahha, I see what I did. That works, thanks muchly….however the problem I have now is that I don’t want to use a javascript redirect if I can help it.
If I remove the method=”script” section, it redirects regardless of total_results. As this chunk of code is at the top of the page before (as far as I can tell) any header information is written, I would have thought I could do a PHP redirect. :(
Right then. I have just uploaded the newest version of this to the first post and I have to make a public apology on the forums here to Laisvunas. He did a lot of work on this plugin adding in the new features and I went and added them into the plugin but forgot to upload it to the thread so for that I really do apologise.
Hopefully I have done it all correct and it should work as advertised. I will leave the original plugin in the first thread as well though just in case I have coded anything wrong. It’s just after 1 here and I am just a little bushed now!! 😉
Best wishes,
Mark
Hi Mark,
No need for any apologies. It was a pleasure to code some new features for your plugin.
Thanks for uploading new version.
No problem and thanks again for all the help on this one. This community really is the best I have ever ever ever ever come across.
Hope you’re having a great week.
Best wishes,
Mark
I’m trying to use this to forward certain members to an alternative start page, but i’m having the problem mentioned here before that it forwards if the conditional is met or not. Any ideas how to fix this?
{if member_group=="1" OR member_group=="5" OR member_group=="6"}
{exp:redirect_to location="http://www.example.com/index.php/blog/"}
{/if}Hiya,
Try this instead with V1.2 :
{if member_group == "1" OR member_group == "5" OR member_group == "6"}
{exp:redirect_to location="http://www.yahoo.com" method="script"}
{if:else}
Not redirecting you this time!!
{/if}That should hopefully do it for you?
Best wishes,
Mark
Thanks Mark, but unfortunatly I don’t really like using the script option.
I added the redirect to an embedded template and that seems to work.
I assume there isn’t a way to do it within the same template because of the advanced conditional problems mentioned in this thread?
Hiya,
Yep the problem arises as I think it all had something to do with not being able to re-direct using a PHP method after headers have already been sent so the only other way is to either use an embed as you have or use a Javascript method instead.
Best wishes,
Mark
Mark, Laisvunas,
Thanks guys, great plugin and really useful!
No problem at all. Glad it’s come in of some more use somewhere 😉
Best wishes,
Mark
Hi baboonbrand,
Since ExpressionEngine’s version 1.6.5 in which {redirect="template/template_group"} was made global there is no need to use Redirect To plugin to achieve redirection.
Whoops did I not mention that above.
Sorry baboonbrand meant to mention that although if people still want to use the plugin I don’t mind 😉
Hi baboonbrand, Since ExpressionEngine’s version 1.6.5 in which {redirect="template/template_group"} was made global there is no need to use Redirect To plugin to achieve redirection.
Thanks for heads up! Some of my clients need this functionality now, and the process for upgrading the core software is a bit lengthy, so this solution is perfect albeit temporary 😊
Glad that it can still be of help somewhere. Always nice to hear 😉
