Redirecting to a Specific Resource with a Tiny Evolution CMS Snippet

Small redirect helpers are useful when a page should exist only as a routing entry point into the actual document tree.

The sendPage donor is a tiny example of a focused utility snippet: accept a resource ID, validate it, and redirect the request to that resource’s URL.

Example

$pid = isset($pid) ? $pid : 0;
if (!is_numeric($pid)) {
    return;
}
switch ($pid) {
    case 0:
        return;
    default:
        $modx->sendRedirect($modx->makeUrl($pid));
    break;
}

When this helps

This pattern is useful for landing nodes, shortcut pages, and controlled redirects that should still be managed from inside the CMS.
