Question about metatemplate

Hi,
I used metatemplate for basic change template and works great.
Today i'm wondering a specific action and how to... And try to explain the situation for me !

i use JMSMultisite (component to create multisite and sharing between this different sites). I share K2 component, so that my groups and categories were replicate in every subsite. To simplify the idea, I make a subsite for each K2 categorie.
When done, all my sub-sites share the K2 items that's to say a K2 item is replicate on every subsite.

So my question is, is there possible to metatemplate to redirect a categorie to a subdomain automatically ?

Let's get an exemple with two site.
I've my mastersite.com and one subsite subsite.mastersite.com
2 categories in K2 (being shared entirely) : CAT1 and CAT2 with several ITEMS1,2,3... (So in each site, item exists)

ex:
mastersite.com/CAT1
subsite.mastersite.com/CAT1
mastersite.com/CAT1/ITEM1
subsite.mastersite.com/CAT1/ITEM1
...

It is possible to redirect mastersite.com/CAT1/ITEM1 => subsite.mastersite.com/CAT1/ITEM1
OKAY, to do this page by page, there is no problem...

Is this possible to redirect automaticaly all items of CAT1 (and CAT1) to subsite.mastersite.com/XXXXXXXXXX and get it work

CAT2 => subsite2.mastersite.com/XXXXXX (that's to say not say "comK2" redirect wink

AND HOW TO ?? smile

P.S: I expect i'm clear in my explanation ! (i'm french, sorry if it doesn't)

Re: Question about metatemplate

After exploring all your greats tips on the forum, and little search on google and tons of forum... I've got it !

=> PHP :

if ($option == "com_k2" and $view == "item") {
$query = "select c1.id as id1, c2.id as id2, c3.id as id3 from #__k2_items i
left join #__k2_categories c1 on i.catid = c1.id
left join #__k2_categories c2 on c1.parent = c2.id
left join #__k2_categories c3 on c2.parent = c3.id
where i.id = " . ( (int) $id ) ;
$db->setQuery( $query );
$catids = $db->loadRow();
if ( is_array( $catids ) ) {
if ( in_array( 2, $catids ) ) return true;
}
}

=> FALSE

and => RUN PHP :

$app = &JFactory::getApplication();
$url = 'http://SUBSITE.SITE.com/' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$app->redirect("$url");

Hope this will help others ! wink

Re: Question about metatemplate

Hey that's really great - thanks for sharing the solution smile

Sorry I wasn't able to reply earlier. I've been travelling overseas for the last 3 weeks on business and have got a bit behind on the forum and e-mail support - sorry.

Cheers,
Stephen
