What are the parameters to redirect an AFID to a specific page?

We have used in the past
https://www.mydomain.com...ww.mydomain.com/newpage/

And it's not going to the new page it's staying on the home page.

I don't think so we have this feature of redirecting to a specific page with AFID in AC9.

Can you please elaborate a bit more in case I am missing something. What steps did you take to get this path with redirect URL?
Thanks

We are coming from AC 7.0 so it seems that it worked then, but many of our resellers choose to link to specific products instead of going to the homepage.

For example, if our reseller is Crystal Reports centric, and want to point directly to our crystal reports generator, they would use

I think this feature is part of some customization being done in AC7.
Can you please confirm if there is some related customizations in AC7?

Looks like we had just added some javascript on the homepage previously that helped the redirect...

This was the original code

<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide

var myURL = 'http://store.idautomation.com/default.asp?Affiliate=';
var myQuestionIndex = location.href.indexOf('?');
if (myQuestionIndex > -1){
var myAffiliate = location.href.substr(myQuestionIndex + 1);
if (myAffiliate.length > 1){
location.href = myURL + myAffiliate + '&Redir=http://www.idautomation.com/';
}
}

// -->
</script>
<base href="http://www.idautomation.com/"



I updated it to the following but all it does is keep adding "afid" to the url in a loop and doesn't recover. Any ideas?

<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide

var myURL = 'https://www.idautomation.com/Default?afid=';
var myQuestionIndex = location.href.indexOf('?');
if (myQuestionIndex > -1){
var myAffiliate = location.href.substr(myQuestionIndex + 1);
if (myAffiliate.length > 1){
location.href = myURL + myAffiliate + '&Redir=https://www.idautomation.com/';
}
}

// -->
</script>
<base href="http://www.idautomation.com/"

Sorry but I am unable to interpret what is required by this script.

But the issue is obvious. Before updating the script, the script actually changing/redirecting the URL from
store.idautomation.com to www.idautomation.com

and after the updates the script is changing/redirecting the URL from
www.idautomation.com to www.idautomation.com

This is the reason that keeps it redirecting to same page.

I'm not a programmer, but that makes sense now that you point it out.
