[Rt-devel] manual redirect

Thu Jan 5 12:53:15 EST 2006

We have a /Elements/Redirect object that we use for all redirection
(e.g. /Tickets/Display.html whenever a value is changed), so a browser
reload "does the right thing"(TM).  The object includes two layers of
automatic redirection HTTP (very fast), and Javascript (pretty fast),
and if that fails there is a link.  It is simple to use:

/Elements/Redirect
$page: the page you want to send the client to
@actions: array of Result strings that you want diplayed on the target page.

For exmple from our /Tickets/Display.html:

if(@Actions){
    $m->comp('/Elements/Redirect',
             page => $RT::WebPath . '/Ticket/Display.html?id=' .
$TicketObj->Id,
             actions => \@Actions);
    return 1;
}

/Elements/Redirect
---------------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
    window.location="<%$page%>";
</script>
</head>
<body>
Please go to this location: <a href="<%$page%>"><%$page%></a>
<table>
<tr><td>
<%init>
$session{'actions'} = \@actions;
$page = $RT::WebBaseURL . $page;
$r->headers_out->{'Location'} = $page;
</%init>
<%ARGS>
$page => '/index.html'
@actions => undef
</%ARGS>
