Load product page if category only has one product

[becker]

Hello,

When a category is visited, if it only has one product in the category, then I would like to load that product page instead of the category display. I suppose I could easily do this with javascript

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:category_product_count EQ 1">
    <script type="text/javascript">
        window.location.href = "www.storeurl.com/&mvt:category_listing:products[1]:code;.html"
    </script>
<mvt:else>
     Display category 
</mvt:if>

But this doesn't seem very efficient. I suppose it's probably not that slow, but I just don't feel like this is the correct way to do this. I would much rather have the redirect loaded server side. I figured I could use the render toolkit command, but I'm not getting far with it. How can I render the product page with a specific product code using the render command?

Any other suggestions that don't involve render from the toolkit or does this seem like the correct choice?

This works using multiple toolkit functions:

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="cxpc|pcount|g.Category_Code" />
<mvt:if expr="pcount EQ 1">
<mvt:foreach iterator="sub_product" array="sub_products">
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="sassign|newurl|http://your.store.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=%replace%" />
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="vglosub|newurl,%replace%,l.all_settings:SUB_PRODUCT:CODE" />
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="headeroutput|Status|302 Found" />
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="vheaderoutput|Location|g.newurl" />
</mvt:foreach>
<mvt:else>
do the regular category stuff
</mvt:if>

Tested in my store with 0,1 and 2 products and reacted as expected.
