You could for instance establish a per-address-redirect via a line in .htaccess:

Redirect /Web_Development/96/100-resources-for-web-developers http://blog-well.com/2008/03/04/100-resources-for-web-developers/

This would be feasible with a plugin, too. I’m not quite sure if one exists, though.

As a third possibility, add these lines to your article’s body:

<txp:if_individual_article>
 <notextile>
  <txp:php>
   header('Location: http://blog-well.com/2008/03/04/100-resources-for-web-developers/');
  </txp:php>
 </notextile>
</txp:if_individual_article>

…I added it to the ‘web development’ page template

So, why didn’t you just add the sequence to the specific article’s body?

@wet: Robert, I tried your ‘body’ solution in TXP 4.0.6 to redirect from an old article to an update on the same site. It doesn’t work as expected. No redirect is happening.

• Even the 100% pure code copy redirecting to the external link is not working.
• The code was added at the very top of the article body.
• The rest of the article body remained.
• Deleting everything but the code doesn’t help.
• I am calling the article URL (and not from an article list).
• PHP in articles is allowed and I am in the role ‘publisher’.

Without the <notextile> tag I also got a syntax error. Funny, I thought the space at the beginning of the line would be enough?

What could be wrong in my case?

Edit: Well, reading some documentation about php header location tells me that the ‘header’ request/output must be the very 1st output from a page. Using it in the article body literally after already hundreds of outputs were sent seems to be not working.

Maybe I don’t understand what you’re trying to accomplish, but why not create a custom field called “article_url” and when an article is from an external site, enter the url there. Then in your article form create a conditional that says, “if there is a value in the custom field ‘article_url’ output the title this way (ie with the title linked to the url in that custom field), if not, output the title another way (ie with a normal, site-internal permalink)?

Yep, good point Nora. In this case, in example:

<a href="<txp:if_custom_field name="URL"><txp:custom_field name="URL" /><txp:else /><txp:permlink /></txp:if_custom_field>"><txp:title /></a>

How? What is the code would needed to replace the individual URL to a custom field/conditional tag say called “article_url”.

Ya k’nw Sebastian, it’s quit’ eaz’. First example:

<a href="<txp:if_custom_field name="article_url"><txp:custom_field name="article_url" /><txp:else /><txp:permlink /></txp:if_custom_field>"><txp:title /></a>

Or if ya real’ need th’z redirectin’ headers, then:

<txp:if_individual_article>
	<txp:if_custom_field name="article_url">
		<txp:php>
			header('Location: '.custom_field(array(name => 'article_url')));
		</txp:php>
	</txp:if_custom_field>
</txp:if_individual_article>

Th’z both codes go to ur article form.
