Hi,

I'm trying to add a direct path from this url: https://www.domainname.com/designerdetails-1/vælg-designer-shin-azumi.aspx to this https://www.domainname.com/designerdetails-1/vælg-designer-shin-azumi.aspx?PID=1307 but it dosent redirect.

designerdetails-1 is a page with two paragraphs where PID=1307 is a product catalog app.

Can anyone tell me why it can't redirect?

Because both urls exists. Direct paths will only take affect if the path you try to redirect from does not exist.

Do you know if there is a way to get the redirect to work?

You can do some js hacksy maybe?

Or find another implementation - I do not undertand/like that that redirect is needed...

Hi Mads,

What if in the page you want to redirect to another use, you use the Shortcut feature on the page to redirect to it's final destination.

Would that work for you?

Nope, since it is the same page it will be a circular reference causing endless redirects

Being the same page it does. If they were different pages that would have worked.

JS seems a simple solution. And you can use PushState to simply update the URL without triggering a redirect. It's still hacky because you'd need to store the "preferred URL" something on that page to then evaluate the current url against it.
