Is there some native facility for redirecting categories to external URLs? Customize >> Permalinks apparently does not support this use.

The following script achieves the intended result when added to </head> via Customize: <script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.19"> api.onPageChange(() => { if ( window.location.href === "https://omnifora.com/c/redirect-politifora" ) { window.location.replace( "https://politifora.com/"…

Why would you redirect a category to an external URL? What’s the point of having the category if you only need a link?

To have the link displayed as a category without going through all the necessary CSS fiddling to do so without it simply being a category. The community where I’ll be doing this has a few related Discourse installs that each deal with a different set of topics; I want to more cleanly link them toge…

I briefly looked at doing this and it came down to two alternatives. Create the category with read only permissions for everyone and put the link into the ‘About this category’ page, maybe including a short paragraph why, like an ‘official’ external support site. Target and overwrite the link …

So, related issue: I’ve now implemented a redirect (using JavaScript), but… it works only on refresh, which is clearly suboptimal. At any rate, here’s the code I’m using: $( document ).ready(function() { if ( window.location.href === "https://omnifora.com/c/redirect-politifora" ) { window.locati…

[صورة] Zyniker: Is there some quirk in Discourse that would cause this redirect not to trigger? Yes, being a single-page-app the page only loads once, subsequent loads just replace the page contents. There is a page change API you can hook into: [صورة] How do you forc…

I’m sure this is the right way to accomplish the redirect, but I am not sure how to write the necessary code. I’ve tried the following and neither seems to work: api.onPageChange((url) => { var targeturl = 'https://politifora.com/'; if ( url === '/c/redirect-politifora' ) { $(location).attr('hr…

if you wanted a redirect this is the way to do it api.onPageChange((url) => { if (url.includes('/c/redirect-politifora')) { window.location.replace('https://politifora.com/'); } }); however this is kinda slow and won’t run until the page has finished loading, which means users will still see t…

Perhaps I’m missing something, but I tried each of those solutions (both imported from an external .js and dropped in as a customization) and was unable to get either one to work.

where are you inserting them, and do you have the correct script tags around them

I was afraid it would come down to that or doing a rewrite at the server level. I think I may just go with the (somewhat questionable) JavaScript option.
