Redirection from within an include

[zingmatter]

Hi

I have a site where the content (stored in a separate directory as plain html without headers) is added to a template in the form of an include, i.e.

the link for a page might be:

<a href="template.asp?content=pagecontent">some link</a>

and in the template.asp file there's the code:


<%

server.execute("content/" & request.querystring("content") & ".asp")

%>


My problem is that if someone (say via a search engine) goes directly to the content page, e.g. content/pagecontent.asp I want the content to be automatically inserted into the template having detected that is wasn't called by template.asp

Is there a way of detecting a direct link (rather than a server.execute() call) and so force the page to reload inside the template. This of course all will happen at the server.

Any ideas appreciated

You could probably try finding the referer or using cookies..

Actually, I found a simple solution....

above the html just add


<%
if request.querystring("content") = "" then

response.redirect("../template.asp?content=" & pagecontent)

end if
%>

That did the trick, but thanks anyway
