Help/RedirectToPlugin

Note: You are viewing an old revision of this page. View the current version.

The RedirectTo plugin can be used to redirect a user to another page. In other words it makes a page an alias for another page.

When redirecting to another wiki page, a note is added to the top of the target page saying (Redirected from SomeRedirectingPage).

Redirection to external URLs will only work on locked pages.

Arguments

You must provide a page or an href argument (but not both).

Argument

Description

Default value

page

The page to redirect to (a wiki page name).

empty

href

An external URL to redirect to. Redirection to external URLs will only work on locked pages. (If the URL contains funny characters, you'll probably have to put quotes around the URL.)

empty

Caveats

For most purposes, the RedirectToPlugin invocation makes any other content on the page inaccessible.

Example

A page may be made a alias for the HomePage by using this code:

<<RedirectTo page="HomePage">>
