[pmwiki-users] Redirect to URL (not existing Wiki Page) - possible?

[Crisp, Steve [UK]]

Redirect to an external URL sounds too easy for PmWiki, can it already
be done with the core PmWiki or perhaps a plugin?  Ideas solicited...

Quick one for all you knowledgable ones ... using the latest beta of
Pmwiki how can I redirect a Wiki Page to another (external) URL - not
another Wiki Page?

 

the markup below is conceptually what I'm after:

 

(:redirect http://another.site.co.uk :)

 

Can this be done?

 

Why do I want to do it?  Well I'm running a random banner ad (on an
OpenSource software project site) using 'RandomPage'.  This rotates
through a few banner graphics.  If someone clicks on one it goes to a
Wiki page which I want to redirect to the external ad page.  I want to
go via an intermediate Wiki page because I want to register a hit on my
Wiki page so I can look at my web logs to get a quick click count for
each banner.  I'm sure there are better ways to do this.

 

-Steve.

P.S: Obviously there is a small security concern here however I did
intend to password protect the couple of pages that would redirect to an
external web site.
