I seemed to have noticed that I can't run two redirect extensions at once. Is that correct? It seems like it should work. The other extension makes it much easier for me to see an error come up, and then type in the correct URL it should go to, and then archive that error.

As such, I wanted this extension to run 1st.

Then I wanted your extension to run afterwards so that I can capture all remaining redirects that can be done through your dynamic redirects. I set up the order so that one runs after another.

But the 1st extension doesn't seem to capture any error messages anymore.

Do you know if I can or can't do this?

Yes,
it's possible to let ReDJ works together with other redirection plugin.

The plugin order is the simplest way to do this and it should work. If not, please, try to be more detailed about the "other" extension.

If you prefer, send me a private message at info(at)sistemistica.it. And if you trust, I can help you to fix the problem (just provide me a temporary access to your backend).

This is the other extension I'm using. There are no settings on this extension that I can change (though you That extension is set to run 1st (Order=0). Then ReDJ is set to run 2nd (Order=1).

If you aren't sure, I can just give you access.

Hi,
I've installed on my test environement and made some checks. It seems they can't work together because both replace the JError handler.

I'm fixing the problem into ReDJ, and send you the patch in a few minutes.

Best regards,
Luigi

Here's the patch for ReDJ 1.5.3 Community. If you have a different version or an Enteprise license, please, let me know.

With this it works well with Redirect no matter about plugin order. To apply, reply redj.php file inside /plugins/system folder.

This patch will be included in the next ReDJ versions.

Best regards,

Hey there,

So been testing this out. Seems like it's half working.

With the patch, the other extension is able to pick up the erroneous URL and file it. However, when I assign a redirect for it to point to another location, it's not working. For ReDJ, I have the option REDIRECT ANY ERROR = ON. However, it is current 2nd in order to the other extension, so it should only do this after the 1st extension runs it course.

I should note that when I turn OFF REDIRECT ANY ERROR, then the other extension properly redirects.

But this is not a bug, this is how I want it works.

If you have another extension that handle with the error, why ReDJ should replace its error page?

Please, could you describe a scenario were you need both ReDJ and Redirections to work together with a custom error page?

Thanks,
Luigi

Maybe I'm not describing it clearly.

I was anticipating that it would work like this.

1. REDIRECT recognizes that a URL submitted is bad. I use this extension to redirect people to the right URL. But this extension has limitations because I have to fix each URL one by one. I have this extension running 1st.

2. Any error that doesn't get fixed by the 1st extension then gets processed by REDJ. Here, I have a few scripts running so that a batch of URLS can be redirected to certain pages, which is something your extension does well.

3. Then finally, for any errors that aren't captured in the 1st two scenarios, I was planning to have your extension redirect any remaining errors to the homepage.

Maybe there's another way?
As an FYI, the reason why I use the other extension is because it's much easier to see an error message, then submit the correct page it should point to, and then have that error filed as "Active" or "Archived" instead it being "Pending". This makes it also easy to sort through which URLs have been addressed and which ones haven't.

I would love to only use one extension naturally:) If you are able to build in that feature into your extension, I'd gladly pay for it!

What you want is "cristal clear", the only problem is on the first step:



The problem is that when REDIRECT get the error, this is logged and the error page is showed or a redirect is done. So steps 2 and 3 are never executed. REDIRECT does one of these things, do the redirect OR call the error page, no change for who came after (as ReDJ).

So, I have modified ReDJ to be compatible with REDIRECT, now should be REDIRECT to be compatible with others.

A solution could be to put ReDJ as the first one, but you should disable the ReDJ custom error page.

About your request, I like the REDIRECT interface or better, I like the Joomla 1.6 redirect interface, and I've planned to implement something like this in the ReDJ version for Joomla 1.6.

Luigi
