I have a loop of products that generate a list with link but, if the product is only one, must be redirect to a product page, instead of display the list.

The code is:

<ol>
  {exp:channel:entries channel="prod" category="{segment_3_category_id}"}
    {if total_results==1}
      {exp:hs_redirect location="/prod/view/{segment_3}/{url_title}"}
    {/if}
    <li>    
      <a href="/prod/view/{segment_3}/{url_title}">{descr_prod}</a>
    </li>
    {/exp:channel:entries}      
  </ol>

But doesn’t work. It’s always redirect, seems that redirect is processed before {if}{/if} statement.

I have tried also with EE {redirect} tag, without success.

What’s wrong?

Hi there,

Have you tried using an embedded template to hold your redirect code? This might help with the parsing order. So your main template would have something like:

<ol>
  {exp:channel:entries channel="prod" category="{segment_3_category_id}"}
    {if total_results==1}
      {embed=shared/_redirect location="/prod/view/{segment_3}/{url_title}"}
    {/if}
    <li>    
      <a href="/prod/view/{segment_3}/{url_title}">{descr_prod}</a>
    </li>
    {/exp:channel:entries}      
  </ol>

And in your embedded template (shared/_redirect):

{exp:hs_redirect location="{embed:location}"}

As before, you should also try this with EE’s native redirect if the plugin doesn’t work

Hope this helps,

internetimages, I think the fact that the redirect is being done by a plugin might be the problem here due to parse order. Have you tried this with the native redirect variable? Is there a reason you chose to go with the plugin instead?

I’ve tried the plugin because with native redirect I got the wrong url:

{redirect="/prod/view/{segment_3}/{url_title}"}

send the browser to:

<a href="http://site.com/prod/view/foo/{url_title">http://site.com/prod/view/foo/{url_title</a>

The tag {url_title} is not parsed correctly…

Now I’m going to try with embed.

It works!! Thanks…

Internetimages,

Glad to see you got it worked out. Feel free to post again when you need more assistance.
