Redirecting search results page

[WorkwearHouse]

Hi folks

When a simple search is performed and "No matching products" are found, Actinic redirects to the previous page.

Is there a hack to the perl scripts that will allow us to redirect to a page of our choosing?

We would rather redirect the shopper to a page with an enquiry form where we can invite him/her to tell us what they could not find. This would be much more useful than simply dumping them back to where they started.

Many thanks in advance.

Redirect

Hello Bob

In design text if you do a search on the phrase 'No products matched your search' or whatever it said, then add to the end of that phrase:

<br><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0.001;URL=URL-To-Redirect-To>

that should work.

Hope this helps.

Hi Dave

I tried that, but couldn't get it to work. I think maybe the syntax is not quite right.

It's a good idea though and I have managed to get almost the same effect by using a bit of javascript:

<script language="javascript">
location.replace('http://www.workwearhouse.co.uk/shop/Cannot_Find_Product.html');
</script>

It's not quite as elegant as your method would have been.

Cheers

Bob
