I have a redirect field called : redirect : that I would like to use in my code.

How can I do this?

Example:

<?php foreach ($festival_archive_2014Records as $record): ?>

<p><a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo htmlencode($record['name']) ?></a></p>
<?php endforeach ?>

<?php if (!$festival_archive_2014Records): ?>
No records were found!<br/><br/>
<?php endif ?>

I would like to insert code to the above that when the 'redirect' field in the admin is filled in with a custom URL that it will override the _link value.  Hope this makes sense.

Right now when I add this code, it duplicates any custom URL redirects that I have used.  I guess I am needing to use a foreach or a if then statement somehow?


<?php if($record['redirect']):?>
<p><a href="<?php echo $record['redirect'] ?>"><?php echo htmlencode($record['name']) ?></a></p>
<?php endif; ?>

No no, just a plain if-else will do it here. Try this:

<?php foreach ($festival_archive_2014Records as $record): ?>
<?php if($record['redirect']):?>
<p><a href="<?php echo $record['redirect'] ?>"><?php echo htmlencode($record['name']) ?></a></p>
<?php else : ?>
<p><a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo htmlencode($record['name']) ?></a></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach ?>


<?php if (!$festival_archive_2014Records): ?>
No records were found!<br/><br/>
<?php endif ?>
