Javascript redirect based on current url and if in iframe or not

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi there,

I am having some issues with redirects (caused by lack of knowledge in Javascript ?). What I need to do is to redirect to a new page if the visited URL contains one of the following three words: create, status, home. This redirection may only take place if the visited page is not in iframe.

[I]Example:[/I]

  • 1.

    Visitor comes to [url]http://company.hosted.com/create[/url] and are redirected to [url]http://www.company.com/create-ticket[/url] which has the “http://company.hosted.com/create” page iframed.

  • 2.

    Visitor comes to [url]http://company.hosted.com/status[/url] and are redirected to [url]http://www.company.com/status[/url] which has the “http://company.hosted.com/status” page iframed.

  • 3.

    Visitor comes to [url]http://company.hosted.com/home[/url] and are redirected to [url]http://www.company.com/support[/url] which has the “http://company.hosted.com/status” page iframed.

  • 4.

    Visits to all other urls at [url]http://company.hosted.com[/url] that do not contain these tree words mentioned should not be redirected (example would be unique urls created for password reset).

  • 5.

    If visitor goes directly to our company site which has one of the above mentioned urls iframed then the redirect script in the iframed page should not redirect ?

    • Hope this is not too confusing and that someone is able to help me out ?

    Thanks,
    Vidir

    sounds good with the iframe part.

    for the redirect part I have tried the following without luck (I have added your part into it):


    var loc = window.location.href;

    if(loc == 'http://company.hosted.com/create' && window == window.top) {

    window.location = 'http://www.company.com/create-ticket';

    }

    if(loc == 'http://company.hosted.com/status' && window != window.top) {

    window.location = 'http://www.company.com/status';

    }

    if(loc == 'http://company.hosted.com/home' && window != window.top) {

    window.location = 'http://www.company.com/support';

    }

    The thing is if the visited URLs do not start with company.hosted.com/ followed by one of these three words (create-ticket, status or support) then the redirect should not take place. With the code above, nothing happens.

    Success!
