Re: [ORPHAN] zem_redirect
Firstly, I use my default template for my Thoughts section. However if I add the redirect, the thing will redirect me to http://relativemind.net/default which is not a section at all, but merely the page template name.
Next, if I create a template called Thoughts and add the redirect, the thing exceeds redirection limits everytime I try to access the individual article.
Well, I do have a redirect that redirects all who access http://www.relativemind.net to http://relativemind.net. Is this the thing which causes it not to work?

Re: [ORPHAN] zem_redirect
i had the same problem with it constantly appending /default/ to the URL. but i’m not really worried about catching 404s anyway, so i won’t worry about it right now.

Re: [ORPHAN] zem_redirect
Throk, the plugin will redirect if the domain name doesn’t match the one set in your Textpattern configuration.
If the Textpattern domain is configured as http://www.relativemind.net, and you have a redirect set up to http://relativemind.net, the plugin will redirect back to www.relativemind.net. That could be why you’re seeing a circular redirect. Changing the web domain in the textpattern config to http://relativemind.net should fix that. Let me know if it doesn’t.
I’ll look into the /default/ problem.

Re: [ORPHAN] zem_redirect
There’s a new version up:
http://vigilant.tv/documents/tp/zem_redirect-0.4.txt
I think it fixes the “default” issue – can someone confirm?
It also adds a “test” attribute, to help debug circular redirects:
<txp:zem_redirect test=1 />
When set, the plugin won’t force a redirect; instead it will output a HTML comment showing the actual URL used to access the page, and the URL it would redirect to.

Re: [ORPHAN] zem_redirect
One thing that would be neat and fits into the scope of your redirect plugin would be to check whether the /section corresponded correctly to the entry id.
If I enter station11.net/read/[random number within the limit of my posted articles], the article will show up regardless of whether it is really in the read section. Not a big deal, but if zem_redirect could check and fix that as well as the title it would be cool.

Re: [ORPHAN] zem_redirect
I am still getting circular redirects, however this may be due to my blog having imported entries from b2. I guess this won’t happen if you only have entries made with textpattern.
An example can be seen here:
http://www.sencer.de/article/50/openbook----freie-b%EF%BF%BDcher
There are some “funny characters” in the url, anyway I have test-mode activated and I always get this:
<code>requested URL: http://www.sencer.de/article/50/openbook----freie-b%EF%BF%BDcher redirect to: http://www.sencer.de/article/50/openbook----freie-b�cher</code>

Re: [ORPHAN] zem_redirect
Funny thing really. When I put in the test attribute this is what comes out:
requested URL: http://www.relativemind.net/
redirect to: http://relativemind.net/
when I requested for http://relativemind.net.

Re: [ORPHAN] zem_redirect
Hmm, strange.
The domain name in the “requested URL:” output comes from the SERVER_NAME variable. That’s supposed to be the current vhost name, but it’s not necessarily clear whether that’s always the case – for example after a 302 redirect, which is what you’re using in addition to the plugin.
I’ll add an option to the next version to ignore the domain name portion of the URL. Hopefully that’ll solve the problem for you.

Re: [ORPHAN] zem_redirect
There’s a new version up:
http://vigilant.tv/documents/tp/zem_redirect-0.5.txt
Changes:
- Adds a new attribute “ignoredomain”, to help eliminate circular redirects on www/no www domains
- Adds a new attribute “errorid”, which specifies an article ID to display as a 404 message
- Now checks that the URL section matches the article section, and redirects if necessary – useful if you’ve moved an article from one section to another
- Should fix the non-ASCII URL bug (untested)
