Redirect to outside server

Question

I am trying to redirect a template to an outside website in EE2, I have tried this:

    {redirect='http://other_website.com/whatever/12/'}

It puts the url of the host before the url I put there because it's expecting a template.

    http://myhost.com/http://other_website.com/whatever/12/

Is there any way to redirect it properly?

Thanks!

PS: In EE1, I have used:

    {exp:redirect_to location="http://www.yahoo.com"} 

but it's not working now.

Answer 1

You might use RedirectURL EE2 Plugin for redirection in EE2.

Answer 2

You can use http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/redirectee This plugin will use the header() function from PHP
