Redirect to parent

I'm attempting to direct a child Resource to it's parent. Using MODx Revo 2.1.3-pl.

I initially tried making the child Resource a modsymlink and then a modweblink and put



in the weblink input field in order to redirect to the direct parent. But the link in Wayfinder was directing to the ultimate parent (which was a few levels up) and not the direct parent. I've just stuck some redirect JS in the head for now, but was wondering if there was a cleaner way to do this in MODx?

A snippet with this should do it (if I'm understanding what you want).

Hey Bob,

That did the trick...thanks so much!

By the way, can't wait to get your book in the mail...checking the mail box everyday!

Me too.

Just a note, you should always use a full URL with sendRedirect(), i.e.



IE browsers in particular do not like relative URLs being used in location header redirects, which is the default method used by the sendRedirect() method.

Would this be considered a 301 redirect? If not, how would you add that?

It defaults to a 302. You can send a 301 like this:



If it's really a permanent redirect, though, you might consider using a rewrite rule in .htaccess.
