Redirectoid 2.2

Simply Redirect

Oct 16, 2021

Redirectoid is a very simple, easy-to-use server-side redirect script for MODX CMS that does what it says on the box and not a whole lot more.

As of version 2.2 you can invoke 2 special "modes" by passing-in a string instead of Resource ID to the &id snippet property.

Special Uses

firstChild (new)

This will either naively pluck the first Resource from the array returned by $modx->getChildIds() or via database query sorted by the menuindex attribute. Note that it's possible to pass multiple parent Resource IDs to the Snippet, in which case a "tie" might occur and the database engine will return 1 based on internal ordering.

random

This invokes various pseudo-random methods to return a..well..random Resource within the constraints provided by the other Snippet properties. This feature has been available since version 2.x (many years).

Thanks to @jako for reminding me to package the new version
