Prerequisities
Via Charles Witt's post on plone.org
You of course need to have the "Manager" role for your Plone site.
Step by step
Go to:
Site Setup
ZMI
Note, folders created with the user view of the website (TTW) won't work.
You need to create the folder as a plone.app.folder: folder and check ATFolder when you give it an Id.
In the folder that you want a redirect to be triggered, click the dropdown:
Select type to add
Script (Python)
For Id, give a descriptive short name (no spaces), leave File blank
Click: Add and Edit
Leave blank the Title and Parameter List
Copy Paste the following into the body (replacing its contents):
## Script (Python) "redirect.py" ##bind container=container ##bind context=context ##bind namespace= ##bind script=script ##bind subpath=traverse_subpath ##parameters= ##title=Redirects to a default folder ## container.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(context.portal_url()+'/projects')
Replace the '/projects' part with the path to the specific url you want to redirect to.
Can redirect to an external site with something like
container.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect('http://www.ucd.ie/mis')
Click Save Changes
Click the Properties tab
Change or Add the default_page property to: redirect.py
Click Save Changes
Now go view that folder in the regular Plone view, publish the folder and test that it redirects.
