Anyway to allow redirection to anchor links?

[shaunmorrison]

Hi

We would like to be able to redirect an old page to a new one with an anchor link. I don't think this is currently possible. e.g.

http://something.com/oldpage.html
http://something.com/newpage/#anchorlink

Please tell me I'm wrong?

Thank you

I was searching for the same solution and realize this is an old issue, so sorry if it's irrelevant at this point.
I found that you can use the MODX resource tag index then add the anchor tag after. IE:
pattern: oldpage
target: [[~10]]#anchorlink
In this case the target will return: /newpage/#anchorlink

I've been hoping to find a solution for the opposite as well, anchor tag in the pattern, but haven't figured that out yet.

If [[~10]] is a container resource (Settings -> Container is checked), the default suffix is appended (which is /). This will generate the slash after newpage. You can disable the Container setting or replace the trailing slash with the substring output filter (https://docs.modx.com/3.x/en/building-sites/tag-syntax/output-filters/custom#substring): [[~10:substring=0,-1]]#anchorlink
