System Alert | Redirect

[AlexVanK]

We need to automatize a site-wide alert informing the user they've landed on page through a redirect (300,301) if they did so. This information is not obtainable through JS alone - maybe some combo with PHP is required - will research.

Consider one of these options:

• create new component
• create a new variation in banner component (not optimal as then you would need a variation for every new use case)
• rename banner component to system alert and organize banner and this new use case under that component (the problem of this solution is:
  • there is a limit of 2 variations per component,
  • the components are fundamentally different,
  • the implementation is different)

This was easy to implement.

The only requirement is that Drupal redirects handled through the Redirect module have to be written with an appended ?redirected=true parameter at the end of the new URL. Example:

Things that could be implemented in the future:

• Distinguish between redirect types (301,302,etc)
• Currently the banner uses a general warning icon: Bootstrap Icons doesn't have the broken link icon yet. Consider implementing that in the future.
