UI Page, redirect when page is loading

[whitewalker]

I have a UI Page. Before page loads, I need to make a redirect based on condition.

I tried something like this, but didn't work.

<g:evaluate jelly="true">

                      var v = new GlideRecord("myTable");

                      v.addQuery("sys_id",jvar_XXXX)

                      v.query();

                      v.next();

                      if(!v.field)

                      {

                      gs.sendRedirect("/redirect to anothe ui page");

                      }

</g:evaluate>

Hi Nick,

You could do something like this where you do the lookup in the jelly code and then redirect using javascript:

<g:evaluate jelly="true">

                      var url = '';

                      var v = new GlideRecord("myTable");

                      v.addQuery("sys_id",jvar_XXXX)

                      v.query();

                      if (v.next())

                      {

                      url = v.something;

                      }

</g:evaluate>

<script>

document.observe("dom:loaded", function() {

  window.location = '${url}';

});

</script>

I thought about using js, but i would like a solution without usign js.

That pretty much the standard way to do a redirect with a ui page. Why don't you want to use js?

I suppose you could do it with a meta tag as well:

<g:evaluate jelly="true">

                      var url = '';

                      var v = new GlideRecord("myTable");

                      v.addQuery("sys_id",jvar_XXXX)

                      v.query();

                      if (v.next())

                      {

                      url = v.something;

                      }

</g:evaluate>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=${url}" />
