redirect /?page=[id]

[xini]

I haven't managed get the redirects working where there is only parameters from the root, i.e. /?page-id=xy. Is that possible? If not, any hints to what to change? Thanks.

I encountered the same issue myself. Got it working by adding the following to my Page (or HomePage) init method:

public function init() {
    $requestVars = $this->getRequest()->getVars();
    // In my case i needed to redirect /?id=THE_ID
    if (array_key_exists('id', $requestVars)) {
        $this->httpError(404);
    }

    parent::init();
}

The problem is that, the redirect script starts looking for possible redirects only when faced with an 404 httpError. So if the url looks like this: www.example.com/?id=1 it wil not redirect because it finds the home page, thus nothing happens.

Another problem i faced here was in the setup of the redirects, at first i had set up my table like this;

FromBase, FromQueryString, To
/,        id=1,            /some-other-page/

But it could not find the base / because it apparently looked for /home so by forming the table like so;

FromBase, FromQueryString, To
/home,    id=1,            /some-other-page/

It al worked like a charm.

I don't think this is a solution though, more of a workaround until the issue is fixed. Maybe the query string fields can be checked and when in use the 404 error could be thrown?
