Redirect one script to another

[JasonBarnabe]

Ability to redirect all resources for a script to another, in case of a duplicate.

Or if I deleted/unlisted a script in favor of another script.

e.g. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/53-github-gist-dabblet has been removed when implemented by https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/54-github-gist-share

Any update on this issue?

[JasonBarnabe]

Nope. If there was, I would post here.

[JasonBarnabe]

OK, this is in now. I can't seem to find a case where we wanted to do this and the author agreed...

[devnoname120]

NoPicAds was superseded by AdsBypasser, but this first was eventually manually deleted.
Since this was linked in quite a few locations, I reckon that many users get on a dead link.

[JasonBarnabe]

@legnaleurc can undelete, then redelete and set AdsBypasser as the replacement.

[legnaleurc]

I'll give it a try, thank you.

[JasonBarnabe]

@legnaleurc let us know how it does.

Zod- marked https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/918-instasynch-addons as replaced by https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/5653-instasynchp-core so we can test it out with that too.

[legnaleurc]

What will happen if I check Users who previously installed this script will be updated to a blanked-out version. and setup a redirection URL?

[JasonBarnabe]

People updating will get blanked out. Visitors to the pages on Greasy Fork will get redirected to the other script.

[JasonBarnabe]

This works as expected as far as I know. If there's any problems, please create a new issue.

[devnoname120]

Would it be possible to make the new script appear in searches as well?
Example: https://greasyfork.org/scripts/search?q=nopicads (Expected: AdsBypasser appears here.)

[JasonBarnabe]

No, I don't think that'd be worth it. If you want to show up with that keyword, included in your additional info somewhere.

[devnoname120]

Would it not help users to find a superseded script, without cluttering the description?

[JasonBarnabe]

It could, but it's also weird that one author could essentially add keywords for another's scripts. If the other author wants to show up with that keyword, they can mention it.
