Redirect user to a certain URL

Hi all,
 
Is there any way to redirect the user to another URL once a record is updated?
 
I've created a new custom object, i've a "after update" trigger for this custom object and in this trigger i'm trying to redirect the user to another location if a certain condition that i defined is happening.
 
I would really appriciate any lead or idea for solving this as i really need a solution for this real quick.
 
Thanks alot

"Compile Error: Trigger return cannot specify a value"
 
any suggestions?
 
Thanks

I've read it all like 10 times and still couldn't find a solution for that one.
 
Do you if there a way to call functions that i defind in a class inside a trigger?
 
Thanks alot

Code:
trigger xx on Object__c (before insert) {
Object__c object[] = trigger.new;
Class.Function();
}

Hi,
you have only to write class.function in your trigger.
Like in this code example

I hope that can help you

The class is defind that way:

public class ClassTry {

public pageReference googlere() {
   
   PageReference acctPage = new PageReference('http://www.google.com');
   acctPage.setRedirect(true);

   
   return acctPage;
}

}
 
The Trigger is defind that way:
 
trigger try on Class_Registration__c (after insert) {

ClassTry.googlere();

}
 
I'm gettig the following error msg:
Compile Error: Method does not exist or incorrect signature: ClassTry.googlere() at line 3 column 1
 
p.s
I'm really sorry that i've alot of questions, i just got to have this thing working!

Hi,

my mind it is a lack in your trriger or class.
Maybe can the Chapter 8 Paragraph Trigger in salesforce_apex_language_reference.pdf can help you.

You need to change the signature on your method In ClassTry.

From:
public pageReference

To:
public static pageReference

If you want to use a method without creating an instance(Objectx o = new Objectx()), you need to make that method static. Your method would have worked if you declared and instantiated it first. You could even do it anonomously((new ClassTry()).
googlere()). Since you would be using this method like that it is a good sign it would be better as a static method.

Hello, is it possible to perform this action with a standard object?  I would like to build this action into the 'Case' object.  If a flag is checked the page will redirect to a new Task page. 
I've implemented the below code, but upon clicking save (on 'after update') the page will just return the the original case object as
if no trigger was fired.

trigger TEST_TaskCreator_TGR on Case (after update) {

  for(  Case Tnew:trigger.new){
   if(Tnew.Create_Task__c == True){
    TaskCreate.taskpage();
   }
  }
}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

public class TaskCreate {

public static pageReference taskpage() {
  
   PageReference changePage = new PageReference('https://na5.salesforce.com/00T/e');
   changePage.setRedirect(true);
  
   return changePage;
}

}
