" Such an operator already exists: http://projects.ez.no/redirect_operators I've been using it a lot and it really does the job. Works with both eZ 4 and 3. And it doesn't have to be included in the pagelayout.tpl, you can put it in node template also, but then you have to specify cache_ttl=0 in that template. P.S. It can be really useful for redirecting full view of a file to the actual download of the file. -- Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it! Hubert Farnsworth
Marko Žmak	Thursday 04 November 2010 7:04:01 am P.S. Some advantages of the redirect operators: you don't have to hard code the url which redirects - it will work even if you change the name of the object that redirects you can control the redirect using eZ template logic you can have as many redirected object as you wish, without having to add redirects in .htaccess -- Nothing is impossible.
