Description
I've installed the module and set up the field type. On all my nodes, though, I get the message "This node is redirected to a remote source." I have checked the permissions and cannot figure out how to bypass this message so the user is directly taken to the redirect page.
I've tried reinstalling the module and haven't been able to figure this out.
Thanks,
Andrew
#1
check your permissions. users without bypass perm are not seeing that message.
#2
It seems that people without permissions to "Bypass redirection" aren't being redirected, and can not enter a URI to redirect to. I am struggling a bit with the terms, so this might be my issue.
I want to redirect people from pages such as "Company name inc" and "Company name LTD" to "Company name". So I would have many pages that were just redirects, like Wikipedia. Is this what CCK Redirection is designed for? It would all be in site redirection, no external links.
#3
You should use the Path module for this purpose, I would think. The main purpose of this module (at least the reason why I wrote it) is to provide a way for people to create web links using CCK. Drupal seemed to lack in this area because it was not possible to create content that automatically redirected to remote sources.
The message you are getting is by design because as an administrator, you may wish to see the actual node, rather than be taken to an external site, when you are logged in.
#4
by design (if i understand the problem correctly).
#5
Just to help clarify for others with this problem, the redirect only works when you're logged out (based on version 6)
