How to implement url redirects in Freemarker?
Hi, I've researched and found what worked for some people to achieve URL redirects with freemarker. However, it's not working for me. The redirect portion looks like this: ${response.sendRedi...

Hi iftomkins,
The http.response.setRedirectUrl("<redirect url") call only works from a special freemarker Page Initialization script, you can't use that with your normal components. please check out this post
Great--thanks so much!
As suggested in the post you linked to, I just reached out to Lithium support to give us those permissions. We were told by our Project Manager, as recently as two weeks ago, that this was something only Lithium could do (and we would have to pay a lot of money for), so that's nice that they recently have made this available. Go Lithium!
Thanks again! Here is the final code, which redirects users away from the Root page to their proper category page, based on language:
<#-- Description: If user is not an Admin/Mod, redirect them away from root to the proper language page -->
<#if page.name?lower_case == "mobilecommunitypage" || page.name?lower_case == "communitypage" >
<#-- Check if the user is an admin -->
<#assign is_user_admin = false />
<#if user.registered >
<#list restadmin("/users/id/${user.id?c}/roles").roles.role as role>
<#if role.name?? && (role.name == "Administrator" || role.name == "Moderator" || role.name == "Moderator2"|| role.name == "Analytics" )>
<#assign is_user_admin = true />
</#if>
</#list>
</#if>
<#-- If the user is not an admin, get the language setting from their profile and store it in a variable -->
<#if !is_user_admin >
<#assign currentLanguageRedirect = rest("/users/id/${user.id}/settings/name/profile.language").value>
<#switch currentLanguageRedirect>
<#case "de">
${http.response.setRedirectUrl("/t5/Community/ct-p/DE")}
<#break>
<#case "es">
${http.response.setRedirectUrl("/t5/Comunidad/ct-p/SP")}
<#break>
<#case "fr">
${http.response.setRedirectUrl("/t5/Communauté/ct-p/FR")}
<#break>
<#case "ja">
${http.response.setRedirectUrl("/t5/コミュニティ/ct-p/JP")}
<#break>
<#case "ko">}
${http.response.setRedirectUrl("/t5/커뮤니티/ct-p/KR")}
<#break>
<#case "ch">
${http.response.setRedirectUrl("/t5/社区/ct-p/CH")}
<#break>
<#default>
${http.response.setRedirectUrl("/t5/Help-Forums/ct-p/product")}
</#switch>
<#-- Run Set user language script, unless we set doNotSetUserLanguage to true here -->
<#assign doNotSetUserLanguage = true />
</#if>
</#if>Hi iftomkins,
Great code! Thanks a lot for sharing, it definitely helps other people in the future.
there is one little part inside the code can be improved for performance reason. (in bold and red color)
<#list restadmin("/users/id/${user.id?c}/roles").roles.role as role> <#if role.name?? && (role.name == "Administrator" || role.name == "Moderator" || role.name == "Moderator2"|| role.name == "Analytics" )> <#assign is_user_admin = true />
<#break /> </#if>we don't need to continue looping once is_user_admin is set to true.
