invision IPB - If created a new topic Redirect to new page.

[ho0kz]

Hey there guys and gals of Neowin.

 

I'm curious of if this is possible by some if statement or some php coding.

 

I know php coding is defined differently in IP.Board so this is where the support I need comes in.

 

What I'm trying to do is when a member makes a new thread in a certain forum, I want them to be redirected to a different page.

 

Is this possible, Would really love some neat help here guys.

 

Thanks,

Why would you want such a redirection?

Sounds suspicious, even malicious

nonono, It's nothing like that haha.

 

What I'm wanting to do is redirect the member to a different thread after they have posted theres. there is nothing malicious about that.

I'm wanting them to be redirected to that sections rules thread.

You'd either need to make a plugin (if it supports doing that) or edit the files to do it. It's an incredibly non-standard thing to do though and chances are it'd either break something or mean you can't upgrade.

You have to use a hook to capture when a thread create call is made (there are registered hooks in IPB you can use).

 

That having been said, there are a couple of addons you can download that will direct people to the section rules the first time they view a section. Would be a much easier answer.

 

Playing with hooks in IPB is a ######, and updates break your stuff badly.

Sounds annoying lol? So a member wouldn't ever see their own post after submitting, instead being redirected to a "rules page"?

just copy the link and post it to them?

I know it kinda sounds annoying to the members, but members don't normally read the rules before posting. Which is why I'm wanting to do it.

 

and I'm also wanting to do another redirect for purchase aswell. for example

 

I need the forum ID 43 to redirect to www.benstechtips.co.uk/adspace/purchase.php

 

after they are requesting to have a adspace in the forum.

 

Hope this kinda makes sense. I'm not wanting to use any hooks just raw, code in the template.

You need to use hooks. That's the way that IPB is written.

 

The submit code is rather complex, so hooks are also the easier answer..

Sounds perfect for Neowin. Those rule breaking hooligans would stop breaking the rules.

So you want them to read the rules after posting?  Doesn't it make more sense to have them read the rules before posting.  Kinda like the link above the text entry box here on Neowin?
