Help! Redirect to showthread from private.php

[fairydust]

I am trying to write a mod to redirect to a particular thread i.e. showthread.php after I send a private message so using the private_insertpm_complete hook.

This does not work:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->url = 'showthread.php?t=2' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'];
eval(print_standard_redirect('This is my message', false, true)); 


Yet I can view the thread when I manually paste the Url into the address bar of my website.

However

This redirect does work

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->url = 'index.php' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'];
eval(print_standard_redirect('This is my message', false, true)); 


Any suggestions as to why it does not redirect to the showthread.php URL??

Try using the session URL as the first parameter in the URL.

I changed:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->url = 'showthread.php?t=2' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']; 
eval(print_standard_redirect('This is my message', false, true)); 


to

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->url = $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']."showthread.php?t=2";
eval(print_standard_redirect('This is my message', false, true)); 


It still did not work, it takes ages redirecting and then I just get can IE error page: Internet explorer cannot display the page.

However the URL is correct: http://localhost/testvb/showthread.php?t=2

When I refresh the page manually the page appears.

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->url = 'showthread.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . 't=2';

Still does not work. On the redirecting page, if I manually click "Click here if your browser does not automatically" it brings me to the correct page.

It just does not redirect me automatically to the showthread page

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Anyone any suggested solutions?

Have you looked at the page source of the page that says "Click here if your browser does not automatically" to see what is in the head for redirecting?
