Use postcode to redirect to certain page on site

[davidnewton]

I'd like to create a field on our webpage so that people with certain
australian postcodes (say 20 postcodes in a list) are directed to one page
and all others are sent to a page that says another message. Any ideas would
be appreciated. Thanks

Write the postcode, select it with the mouse and press ctrl-k. In the
hyperlink dialog, type the link to the wanted page and press OK.
Repeat as needed and end with a link that say something like "other
Postcodes".

I don't want the user to see the list of postcode options. Ideally a text box
that they type their postcode into the box and are then taken to the
appropriate page.

Then you will need a database with a search function for the postcode to be looked up, and then if
found take the user to the correct page, but you also have decide how to handle postcode that are
not in the database, do you just tell the user to try again or direct them to the closest match.

Can a database have a result like "If none found then display this page..."

Also how do you link the result to the web page?

Yes, but I am not sure if this has to be hand code or can be done with the FP Database components

Also how do you link the result to the web page?

In your database, you have to have a field for the page name to link to.

Then you will need a database with a search function for the postcode to be looked up, and then if
found take the user to the correct page, but you also have decide how to handle postcode that are
not in the database, do you just tell the user to try again or direct them to the closest match.
