I can't remember where I've posted this before, but I'll repost it here for you. I'll be darned if I can find any of the many posts I've made around this
To change how the redirect looks, you can look in Admin >>Templates>>System>>system_redirect.html
Remember, you will need to clone your template in order to edit it. Once cloned, your' free to do as you wish, otherwise, you will only be able to 'view' your template files through the XOOPS Admin CP
The default system_redirect.html looks like this
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<{$charset}>" />
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="<{$time}>; url=<{$url}>" />
<title><{$sitename}></title>
</head>
<body>
<div style="text-align:center;
background-color: #EBEBEB;
border-top: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-left: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-right: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
border-bottom: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
font-weight : bold;">
<h4><{$message}></h4>
<p><{$lang_ifnotreload}></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This can be changed in anyway that you wish. If you mess up, head back here for the default, or reupload from your machine. (Just run a search in your local folders, you'll find it)
Mine looks like this
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<{$charset}>" />
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="<{$time}>; url=<{$url}>" />
<title><{$sitename}></title>
<style type="text/css">
body { font-family: Tahoma, taipei, sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
color: #222222;
font-size: 12px;
}
hr { color: #8CA9C1;
height: 1px;
width: 95%;
}
.redirect { width: 100%;
margin: 110px;
text-align: center;
padding: 15px; }
.redirect a:link { text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
color: #466884;}
.redirect a:visited {text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;}
.redirect a:hover { text-decoration: underline;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FF9966;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">
<div class="redirect">
<span style= align="center" "font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;"></span>
<div align="center"><img src="/images/aniplanetsmall_full.gif"></div>
<h4><{$message}></h4>
<hr>
<p><{$lang_ifnotreload}></p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
As you can see, you can do just about anything you want with the redirect, just so long as you keep <{$message}> and <{$lang_ifnotreload}> in there somewhere. You can
see it in action here. You will notice I used <style type text/css> in the redirect so that I could maintain the same look and feel throughout the rest of my site, making things appear more seemless.
To change what text is output on a redirect page, you will need to modify the language files for that particular module. Each module is configured to output something unique. I've customised my weBLog output for redirects and other variables as well. Feel free to experiment and play around a bit. You can always fall back on your orignal installation files for a backup if something should go wrong.
Good Luck and happy Xoop'ing
Cheers!
