Features

The redirect module allows you to redirect to
the main node of a contentobject by specifying
only it's content object ID.

Usage

From: http://share.ez.no/forums/developer/node-number-at-first-publishing#comment45422

I needed to accomplish this too, but didn't succeed by using existing functionality.

I made my own module which redirects to the main node of an object, by specifying the object id as a parameter in the URL. I've uploaded my extension to pubsvn, you can check it out from http://pubsvn.ez.no/community/trunk/extension/redirect.

Installation and use:

• enable the extension
• give your users access to the redirect module (assign them a role with a policy for function redirect of module redirect)
• you can use /redirect/mainnode/yourobjectid in the RedirectURIAfterPublish hidden input field.
• custom view parameters are passed by in the URL, so you can use /redirect/mainnode/yourobjectid/(customkey)/customvalue.

The extension was created in April 2005, and hasn't been tested on more recent releases of eZ publish. Feel free to try it, I hope it solves your problem.
