Hard Sub or Suggested Replacement Items - How to redirect to new items
We have an issue where our item numbers may change or get discontinued. A customer may be used to ordering a specific number or are ordering out of a printed catalog where the printed number is no longer valid. The number either just changes or it was discontinued and there is a suggested replacement. I would like to redirect people from the old items to the current items. Is there anything out there that does this already or do I need to attempt to write that code? Also where am I going to need to make changes. I can think of the Search and Quickorder. Also, I would like to remove the old items from the site so I would probably need to store the old item number (products_model) and the new item number and then use that to find the correct item_id to send them to. Any suggestions or ideas are welcome.
