Redirect URL with query string parameters

Posted by Community Admin on 17-Mar-2015 00:00

When creating a redirect URL using "This page redirects to another page" and selecting external URL, any query string parameters added to the Sitefinity URL are lost after redirecting to the destination URL. I tried creating a code-behind and overriding the OnLoad event and getting the current page using SiteMapBase.GetActualCurrentNode() so I could programmatically set the RedirectUrl property, but that property only has a getter.

I also tried setting a variable with the RedirectUrl value, appending my query string parameters to it and Response.RedirectPermanent using that variable value, but it appears that Sitefinity redirect value takes precedence over my redirect.

Hi Neil

You can use a normal page with a javascript widget.

The javascript code is

if(window.location.pathname.indexOf("/Action/Edit") == -1)

window.location.href = "http://url" + window.location.search;

Hello Elan,

The behavior that is experienced with the redirect is the default one, which means that query strings will not be passed down. We do have this Feature Request open in our Feedback Portal, which you can vote on in order to increase its prioritization.

Additionally, you may also use the Javascript code provided by Jonata previously to achieve a similar functionality.

Hi Angel,

Has this been resolved? I need query string parameters to stay with the visitor at all time s even if redirected, can you provide feedback?
