collective.scriptedredirect 1.1.1

Installation

Add add-on in buildout.cfg:

eggs =
    ...
    collective.scriptedredirect

Run buildout.

Install Scripted redirects in Python in Site Setup > Add-ons.

Doing redirects through the web

Edit redirect_handler in Zope Management Interface in your site root.

In the case of accident use ?no_redirect HTTP query parameter to override the redirecter and fix your site.

Doing redirects through the web

You can also register a browser view called redirect_handler. In this case, you write the redirect code in addon Python code and not through the web.

redirect_handler view is always preferred over redirect_handler script.

Example Python code in redirector.py:

class TestingRedirectHandler(object):
    """ Redirect handler registered as a ``redirect_handler`` Zope 3 <browser:page>
    """

    def __init__(self, context, request):
        self.context = context
        self.request = request

    def __call__(self, url, host, port, path):
        """
        :return: None if no redirect needed, otherwise a string full HTTP URL to the redirect target

        :raise: zExceptions.Redirect or other custom redirect exception if needed
        """

        # Simple example: always access site over www. domain prefix
        if not url.startswith("http://www."):
            return url.replace("http://", "http://www.")

        # Don't redirect if we are already using www. prefix
        return None

Example ZCML:

<browser:page
    name="redirect_handler"
    for="Products.CMFCore.interfaces.ISiteRoot"
    layer="YOUR_ADDON_LAYER"
    class=".redirector.TestRedirectHandler"
    />
