tips and tricks for movable type

redirect url for comments
April 15, 2002

Bill Turner posted this hack for creating a new hidden form field to control the redirect URL after a comment is posted.

Note: Ben Trott mentioned in another Forum topic that the ability to control the redirect URL for comments will be included in the next version of Movable Type - good to know!

Update 10.10.02: You should just be able to use this in your comments form now:

<input type="hidden" name="static" value="<$MTEntryLink archive_type="Individual"$>" />

adjusting according to whichever archive page you'd like the redirect result to be.
