Redirect URL (Should be simple?)

[user65]

I would like to redirect this URL:

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6967

to this URL:

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7522

I can't seem to find a solution through Google, I can't simply add a 301 redirect because this page was created dynamically.

response.redirect "http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7522"

Is this what you are looking for?

Thanks for the reply Jared.

I saw this type of redirect when researching on google, but would I be able to implement this on a dynamic page?

[jhardman]

absolutely, explain the logic of when you need to redirect, and I'll try to outline the code (or pseudo-code).

OK,

Any time someone visits: http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/g...asp?grpid=6967, I would need it to be forwarded to the second URL: http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/g...asp?grpid=7522.

If you check out the URL's, one is a blank page, and the other has content. I just need to forward the blank page to the one that has content. I'm not sure how to add this code since the pages are loaded dynamically and I don't have a way to edit it outside of the database. (I think.)

If you have a solution that would be great, I did come across this - but again, I'm not sure where to add it:

<%
varHost = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")
varPage = Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")
varQuery = Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")
If varHost = "discoverthenetworks.org" OR "www.discoverthenetworks.org then
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
  If varPage = "/groupprofile.asp" then
    If varQuery = "grpid=6967"
      Response.AddHeader "Location", "newlocation.asp"
    End If
End If
%>

so... you don't have access to the code at all. So how do you want to implement a redirect? An ASP redirect has to be put in the code ABOVE anything that is written to the screen. Even though you say the one page is blank, it has a menu and other stuff, so if you wanted to redirect, you would have to get into the ASP code that is generating the page.

Another option would be to add Javascript code to the blank page that would direct the user to the final page - that code could be put anywhere on the page. Does this make sense?

OK, I started to think about it in a different mind set and understand what you mean. So I would need to edit the master page that displays this content, which in my case is groupProfile.as p. How would I use a redirect to detect a specific request (grpid=6967) to redirect to the correct location (grpid=7522)?

[user65]

I am thinking this would be best for my current situation, but I keep getting an error when implementing.

<%
varHost = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")
varPage = Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")
varQuery = Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")
If varHost = "discoverthenetworks.org" OR "www.discoverthenetworks.org then
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
  If varPage = "/groupProfile.asp" then
    If varQuery = "grpid=6967"
      Response.AddHeader( "/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6967", "/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7522")
    End If
End If
%>

instead of looking for the request.serverv ariables("query string"), look for the request.queryst ring("grpid"). What error are you getting?

A system error has occurred please contact your system administrator.

Doesn't give a line error or anything like that, so I am guessing this code I found isn't working with the way I'm modifying it.

Does my request make sense? would it be possible to add this in the header?
