487284 - REDIRECT plugin is not working

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

I've renamed the article "Hiding bookmarks in the Smart Location Bar" to "Cannot clear Location bar history". I then created a new version of "Hiding bookmarks in the Smart Location Bar" with the body:
{REDIRECT(page=Cannot clear Location bar history)/}

You can see it at <https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-editpage.php?page=Hiding+bookmarks+in+the+Smart+Location+Bar>

The URL for the article does not redirect. It just loads a blank page.
<https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Hiding+bookmarks+in+the+Smart+Location+Bar>

It should redirect to <https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot+clear+Location+bar+history>, which loads fine.

I don't see that anymore... is it working now?

Comment 2

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

I just tried it in another browser, and it loaded the old article instead of redirecting.

Comment 3

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

So the problem seems to be that redirect doesn't work. I see that too (as in, i see Hiding bookmarks)
How is this supposed to work? Reload the URL (real redirect) or load the content of that other page?

Seems to be working now. I guess it was a caching issue.

Comment 5

It's not working here... even on HTTPS which shouldn't cache.

Comment 6

On stage, it brings up the old page and still doesn't redirect.

Comment 7

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

It looks like this applies to all redirects. (renaming bug)

Comment 8

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

There was a bug in tikilib.php about the location of a file which caused the whole page to break. One include path correction and yay! :)
Try now.

Sylvie, if you could take a look at the diff above, if the langmapping.php file is in the same location by default on a fresh Tiki install, this may be a TikiWiki bug.

Turns out that the previous fix breaks the other use cases for this function.

It appears that the include path is different if the call is from a different class (multilinguallib.php) as opposed to if it is just from the root of the website outside a class. I have no idea why that is, but the new solution is a workaround, and this time the change is more specific to this bug.

FWIW, http://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Flash is an article on stage that uses redirect.

Verified FIXED; http://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Flash redirects to http://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Using+the+Flash+plugin+with+Firefox.  Thanks, Chris!

Reset to RESOLVED so it can get proper QA again. See bug 488171.
