How to create redirect by using Prestashop code

[Przemysław Suszek]

Hi,

I have to create redirect from category which doesn't exist to the new one. The problem is when I try by using htaccess I always see 404 from Prestashop controler. How to create redirect by using Prestashop classes or controllers?

Kind regards

If you have Prestashop 1.7.7, you can use the "actionFrontControllerInitBefore" hook. If you have an earlier version, you can do these checks, in the init() method, from the FrontController class. 

You can check the request in the variable $ _SERVER ['REQUEST_URI'], and depending on it, do the redirect. You can use the redirect() method from the Tools class.
