How to redirect from plugin?

Question

My plugin init function:

function init(){

    craft()->entries->onSaveEntry = function(Event $event) {

        //redirect to wanted url

    };

}

Is there a fancy way to redirect to my plugin url if, for example the entry channel is jobs.

Or I have to use header() function. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

You can use the HttpRequestService:

craft()->request->redirect($myAwesomeUrl);

Answer 2

In Craft 3 we are looking at something similar to:

Craft::$app->getResponse()->redirect(UrlHelper::cpUrl('settings/plugins/craft-mailchimp'))->send();
