Redirect from section to article
Hi,
I got a question. Let’s say my txp static site is build like: /section/article. What I want to achieve is if someone goes to www.mysite.com/section1/ he automaticly is redirected to a certain article in that section. For instance I go to www.mysite.com/section2/ that he is being redirected to www.mysite.com/section2/article2/. EDIT
Example code:
<txp:if_section name=“section1”>
<txp:go_to article name=“article2”>
</txp:if_section>
Now I know the tag <txp:go_to> doesn’t exist, but there must be someway to achieve this. Thanks on your thoughts!

Re: Redirect from section to article
I use something like you want my about section:
Use Uses permanent link mode: section/title
Creating a page about and a section about. Make sure that section about uses page about.
Create an article imprint within section about. For example this article has ID = 52.
If you uses this construct:
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:article id='52'/>
<txp:else/>
<txp:article limit='1'/>
</txp:if_article_list>instead of <txp:article/>, you will get
http://your-site.tld/about -> Showing up article ID 52
http://your.site.tld/about/my-plugins Showing up article with url-title my-plugins

You could do that by hand using Apache rewrite rule, or using the Redirect Pro plugin. The plugin way is safer and simpler.

Redirect Pro seems the nicest way, but since I don’t have a paypal account (no cc here) it is useless to me. I do have iDeal (another online pay solution). That’s a shame…
I’ll try out Bastians code!
Thanks…

You could always send a bottle of Bourgogne 1995 to Alex. That might work :-)

It probably would. But that sounds a lot more expensive than $15 (€11) ;). I’m gonna ask my mate to transfer the money I think. It seems a very powerful plugin…

Re: Redirect from section to article
Here is what I do. Any article you want to be the main one for a section just set it to sticky…
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:article limit="1" status="5" />
<txp:else/>
<txp:article />
</txp:if_article_list>Offline
Re: Redirect from section to article
Thanks, but i dont need to display the article. I need to redirect to the article so the url is correctly viewed in the browser.
I have a couple of sections filled with articles and is no need to show the sections just the articles.

Re: Redirect from section to article
maybe this can be realized in a more elegant way but this does the trick for me:
<txp:glx_if_section_frontpage> <txp:asy_wondertag><txp:zem_redirect to="<txp:article form="url" limit="1" />" /></txp:asy_wondertag> <txp:else /> <txp:article limit="10" /> </txp:glx_if_section_frontpage>
and the form url contains
<txp:permlink />

Re: Redirect from section to article
I don’t understand.
You want www.mysite.com/section2/ to redirect to www.mysite.com/section2/article2
In section2’s page (template), just add this tag:
<txp:zem_redirect to="/section2/article2" />If you don’t have a specific page for section2 but a global one, you might want to try this:
<txp:zem_redirect from="/section2/" to="/section2/article2" />Offline
Re: Redirect from section to article
Yeah, I have a global one. I have a new problem. View this site. When you hit “systeemplafonds” (a a section you are being redirected to http://klanten.urlremoved.nl/bosma2/systeemplafonds/ARMSTRONGARMSTRONG instead of http://klanten.urlremoved.nl/bosma2/systeemplafonds/ARMSTRONG.
I use this code:
<txp:if_section name="plafonds">
<txp:zem_redirect from="/plafonds/" to="/plafonds/test123" />
</txp:if_section>
When i use a absolute path (with the http://blabla) firefox tells me there is an infinite loop.
Any thoughts? Cheers!
Edit: url removed
