Below you will find the code for a UDT to do redirecting.  I had to ask bbonora for this tag as I hadn't kept it.

Anyways.  Create a new UDT under Extensions >> Tags, and call it 'redirect'.  Then paste this code in there.

How do I use it:     add {redirect to='page_alias'} into one of your pages, or somewhere intelligently placed in your template (you should have an if statement around this, or you'll get some nasty redirection loops).

Code:

if( isset( $params['to'] ) )
  {
    global $gCms;
    $manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
    $node =& $manager->sureGetNodeByAlias($params['to']);
    $content =& $node->GetContent();
    if (isset($content))
       {
         if ($content->GetURL() != '')
         {
            redirect($content->GetURL());
         }
       }
  }

Here's a slightly modified version with a bit more error handling

Code:

if( isset( $params['to'] ) )
  {
    global $gCms;
    $manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
    $node =& $manager->sureGetNodeByAlias($params['to']);
    $content =& $node->GetContent();
    if (isset($content) && is_object($content))
       {
         if ($content->GetURL() != '')
         {
            redirect($content->GetURL());
         }
       }
    else return '<!-- redirect udt - page not found: '.$params['to'].' -->';
  }

@all : feel free to improve the documentation, as you have write access to the wiki with your forum account.
