Get rid of redirect messages?

[someone]

Is it possible to get rid of the redirect messages?

It would sometimes be usefull instead of showing the redirect message, to go directly to the page after it. Also, the 1 second meta refresh is to short to display a bunch of redirect text. I know I could make it longer, but people don't want to read all this stuff and go directly to the result page.

I could also delete all the texts & and have an empty 1 second redirect page, but then again it could cause trouble on slow connections.

Any suggestions / ideas?

fuseTalk doesn't have a display page, and I think EZBoard just has a very short one, but it would be very nice if there just was NONE at all. :)

I can't even find the refresh tag. I searched every frikkin file and the only one I found was in the admin section and it wasn't for the redirect pages...

They're all handled by the standard_redirect template... It's a meta refresh tag. :)

I didn't even see that template in the plethora available!

Thanx :)

Just remember, since that template handles all the redirects by using a variable for the message displayed, and a variable for the URL to redirect to... If you change that template, every redirect will be changed. :)

I swear, I could fool around with the templates for hours, I love it! :D

really??

well, templatize the e-mail hack for me!!! ;)

I dunno if I'm gonna get to it tonight. Eric changed it up to keep you from being able to change the e-mail addys, so the code in the hack forum is already outdated.

I'm gonna be busy for a while re-compiling the latest PHP 4.0
I'm hoping that this one will let me in the CP for 1.1.2

~sigh~

Are you like mistaking me for a coder here? ;)

I'm a Flash designer, remember? :D

The redirect pages are there for a reason. If the script went directly back to the thread, then when the user clicked refresh to see if there were any new replies then they would very likely re-submit the form at the same time.

I am thinking about ways to get around this, so if anyone has any bright ideas, let me know!

How about having the redirect page send a "Location:" header which would immediately send the user to the thread without loading any HTML.

I personally like the redirect messages... Having a confirmation so people know their post was successful is a good thing, in my opinion. :)
