Plugin

Tags

Basically if you place this into a template then you will be re-directed to the URL specified in the location parameter.

Plugin Usage :

This plugin is exceptionally simple to use. Place the following tag on any template as shown below :

Using full URL - useful for external sites.


{exp:redirect_to location="http://www.yahoo.com"} 

or using paths instead - useful for internal links.


{exp:redirect_to location="news/detail/news_story"} 

By default PHP redirection will be performed. If PHP redirection does not work,
use javascript redirection by adding method=“script” parameter.


{exp:redirect_to location="news/detail/news_story" method="script"}

If it is impossible by usual means to check if condition for redirection was met or not you can check it by wrapping the code expressing condition by


{exp:redirect_to}{/exp:redirect_to}

tags.

Redirection will be performed if the code wrapped by {exp:redirect_to}{/exp:redirect_to} tags will produce no output.

{exp:redirect_to location="my_template_group/my_template" method="script"}
{exp:query sql="SELECT title FROM exp_weblog_titles WHERE weblog_id = '5' AND url_title ='My title'"}
{title}
{/exp:query}
{/exp:redirect_to} 

If you want that redirection would be performed on condition that certain output were produced, you should enter expected string as a value of “tagdata”  parameter. Then the redirection will be performed if the string entered as “tagdata” parameter value and output of the code wrapped by {exp:redirect_to}{/exp:redirect_to} tags are identical. (Tabs, spaces and new line characters will be stripped.) In example below redirect will occur if {exp:query tag} will produce string “1”.


{exp:redirect_to location="my_template_group/my_template" tagdata="1" method="script"}
{exp:query sql="SELECT title FROM exp_weblog_titles WHERE weblog_id = '5' AND url_title ='My title'"}
{total_results}
{/exp:query}
{/exp:redirect_to}
