[DEV/BETA] Redirection Suite

[Thoul]

Redirection Suite 4.2.2 is released. The only change in this version is fixing an error I made in the "find" action for viewtopic.php in Redirect From Private Forum. I copied & pasted the code from viewforum.php by mistake.

I've decided that for 5.0.0, I'm going to make a configuration section in the Administration Panel and store several variables in the database. The redirection options will be a little more flexible as a result.

Thoul?

What about a redirection after registering? I have a register-link on a non-phpbb page. How should I do that?

[Thoul]

Hmm... come to think of it, I could use that, too. I'll look into doing it.

I did this, it may help.

When you are viewing a forum and you click the "Mark all topics read" link, it takes you to an info page saying "All topics in this forum are now read. Click here to go back to the forum."

If you want to add a link to go back to the Forum index as well, find this line in Viewforum.php:

Code: Select all

$message = $lang['Topics_marked_read'] . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_return_forum'], '<a href="' . append_sid("viewforum.$phpEx?" . POST_FORUM_URL . "=$forum_id") . '">', '</a> ');

And replace it with this:

Code: Select all

$message = $lang['Topics_marked_read'] . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_return_forum'], '<a href="' . append_sid("viewforum.$phpEx?" . POST_FORUM_URL . "=$forum_id") . '">', '</a> ') . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_return_index'], '<a href="' . append_sid("index.$phpEx") . '">', '</a> ');

This works on a 2.0.2 board.

This is done... next, I'll work on the redirection after registering, and then I'll release it all as 5.0.0. It'll probably be in a day, maybe two, depending on how complex the registering bit is.

I have a board that might really beneift from this. I'll definately be grabbing it once the new version is ready.

Redirection Suite 5.0.0 is released.

This version brings two new additions: Redirect After Registration and Global Redirection Suite. Global RDS is the Admin Panel version, which incorporates all the other MODs into one MOD. There are also some other unique features: redirection after editing posts; turn voting, registration, and posting confirmation messages on or off; default URLs for voting and logout redirection; and override voting and logout redirects.

I was going to add redirection after marking all topics/forums read also, (there's been a request elsewhere similar to, but different from, what jk1 posted above), but decided to let that wait for a little bit since I'm already a couple of days late on this release. I'll try to put that in the next release (which will probably be 5.1.0).

Also, a little warning - Global Redirection Suite, if you choose to use it, may not be compatible with the other, individual MODs, as it contains enhanced or completely rewritten versions of those MODs. I don't (and won't) test Global RDS being used alongside the others. If you've applied the others and want to use Global RDS now instead, I would remove the others and then apply Global RDS.

Redirection Suite 5.1.1 is released.

Got four updates in this release: Redirect After Mark All Read 1.0.0, Redirect After Registration 1.0.1, Redirect After Voting 1.1.1, and Global Redirection Suite 1.1.1. Exact changes are listed in the README file, and I've added a link to that in the first post, too.

Great job Thoul!

I can't wait to have this running!

Redirection Suite 5.1.2 is released.

There's a minor bugfix in one of the FIND actions in Global Redirection Suite.

[Thoul]

Been a long time since I've had something to add here, eh? I just wanted to mention that one of the mods in Redirection Suite, Redirect to Forum, is now in phpBB.com's MOD-Database. I've also set up a support forum for all of my mods, including these. There's a link to it in the mods section of my site.

I'm having one problem with the global redirection mod....

In includes/usercp_register.php, you say to find:

Code: Select all

$message = $message . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_return_index'],  '<a href="' . append_sid("index.$phpEx") . '">', '</a>');

$template->assign_vars(array(
"META" => '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=' . append_sid("index.$phpEx") . '">')
);

message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $message);

I don't have an exact match for that, but I have these two that are close:

Code: Select all

            $message = $lang['Profile_updated'] . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_return_index'],  '<a href="' . append_sid("index.$phpEx") . '">', '</a>');
         }

         $template->assign_vars(array(
            "META" => '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=' . append_sid("index.$phpEx") . '">')
         );

         message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $message);

and this:

Code: Select all

         $message = $message . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_return_index'],  '<a href="' . append_sid("index.$phpEx") . '">', '</a>');

         message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $message);

What should I do? And thanks for the great mod.

[Thoul]

Oh, my mistake. That Find should have been the second match you posted there. Replace that one with the code the mod says to use for that Find. If you come across any more things like that, let me know.

[RammsteinNicCage]

Ah, thank you! Everything else on the global redirect worked great for me.
