Is it possible to make a redirect with REST or Freemarker?

Hi,

I’d like to make a redirect from server side, before the page loads.

Is it possible to do that?

I have tested the http.response. setRedirectUrl("<redirect url>") object but it doesn’t work.

Thank you for the help!

Hi Henrik,

The http.response.setRedirectUrl("<redirect url") call only works from a special freemarker Page Initialization script that runs once each request, early-on in the request (before any of the html is rendered) and is there to allow for things like redirects. Traditionally, professional services has added this for customers, but we have exposed this through Lithium Studio as a beta feature. If you contact support and reference this Lithosphere post, they should be able to enable the tab (called "Page Initalization") that lets you edit this template.

    Hi Doug,
    
    By the way, is there any documentation on that studio tab?
    Can we use freemarker in this section? And does this feature apply to all the apges of the community?
    
    Thanks a lot!
