Is does anyone know who to redirect a certain search directly to a product via htaccess? So say someone searches Blue Ball search would look like this:
example.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=blue%20ball
NOW redirect that to: example.com/blueball
Hi
Edit this file:
Find:
Add before it:
42 is an example of product ID.
Edit this file:
Code: Select all
catalog\controller\product\search.phpCode: Select all
if (isset($this->request->get['tag'])) {Code: Select all
if ($search == 'blue ball') {
$this->response->redirect($this->url->link('product/product', 'product_id=42'));
}
Hey one other nubbie php question, how can I rewrite the code below to send blue ball to any URL even if not on my site?
PS i just tired and it works, not sure if its the best or proper way to do it
Code: Select all
if ($search == 'blue ball') {
$this->response->redirect($this->url->link('product/product', 'product_id=42'));
}Code: Select all
header("Location: http://example.com/");~ OC 3.0.3.2 and OCmods only ~
that would be fine, just add exit(); after it to stop the rest of the script.

Why would you hardcode it rather than make it dynamic?DigitCart wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 9:02 pmHi

And why would you edit core files rather than add this to .htaccess?
Pretty poor code above, I don't suggest anyone does that.

Yes, But I only showed the way.
I was not going to explain writing a dynamic extension.
Ok but usually if you provide some hacky code it's best to say so and then at least anyone reading will not think this is a good or recommended way to do it

This can be easily achieved by creating a /before event without the need to edit core files.

I though it would have been better to put it in htaccess but didn't know how to write it. Above code does work but yea I would prefer not to edit core files if possible to avoid later bugs and errors.

If not with an event, since you require site redirection, either with VQMod or OCMod it can be accomplished so not to alter core files.

Hey paulfeakins how exactly would I use htaccess to redirect a search query to a URL?paulfeakins wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 6:33 pmAnd why would you edit core files rather than add this to .htaccess?

Say I want to send search query "mints" to mysite.com/mints, this below works but it isn't perfect.
Code: Select all
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^route=product/search&search=mints
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ "/mints" [R=301,L]~ OC 3.0.3.2 and OCmods only ~
