Visual Force Redirect

I have a VF page that overrides the new button on a custom object related to opportunites.  When the user clicks to create a new quote we confirm that there exists a Contact role.  If not we redirect the user to the contact role edit page so they can select on.  If on e exists we let them create the quote.  It all works great.

 

However our business partners want us to show a message to the user why they have been redirected to the contact role edit page.

 

Since I can not popup an alert (if someone knows how to do that from a controller please advise) I created a visual force page with the message and a button that will take them to the edit page.

 

This does not work.  When I try to redirect to a VF page the redirect does not work.  What am I missing.  i can redirect to any standard SFDC page not a VF page.

 

Here os the code:

 

Redirect Page:

 

<apex:page standardController="cmgtQuote__c" extensions="DispatcherQuoteNewController"
action="{!nullValue(redir.url, urlFor($Action.cmgtQuote__c.New, null, null, true))}">

</apex:page>
		
 
 The controller:
 
 
public class DispatcherQuoteNewController {
    
    public String opptyID {get; set;}
 
    public DispatcherQuoteNewController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
        this.controller = controller;
    }
    
    public PageReference gotoOpptyContactEdit(){
            string opptyID = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('oppid');
            //string opptyID = '006Q0000003dVVR';
            PageReference newPage;
            
            newPage = new PageReference('/p/opp/ContactRoleEditUi/e?oppid='+opptyID+'&retURL=/'+opptyID);
            newPage.getParameters().put('nooverride', '1');
            return newPage.setRedirect(true);
    }
    
    public PageReference getRedir() {
        //string opptyID = '006Q0000003dVVR';
        string opptyID = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('CF00N30000002Bott_lkid');
        
        PageReference newPage;
        string newQuoteURL = '/a0E/e?CF00N30000002Bott=Test&CF00N30000002Bott_lkid='+opptyID+'&retURL=%2F'+opptyID;
 
        if (hasOpportunityContact(opptyID)) {
            newPage = new PageReference('/a0E/e?CF00N30000002Bott=Test&CF00N30000002Bott_lkid='+opptyID+'&retURL=%2F'+opptyID);        
            newPage.getParameters().put('nooverride', '1');
            return newPage.setRedirect(true);
        } else {
            //newPage = new PageReference('/p/opp/ContactRoleEditUi/e?oppid='+opptyID+'&retURL=/'+opptyID);
            //newPage = new PageReference('/home/home.jsp');
            newPage = new PageReference('/apex/OpportunityContactRoleError');
            newPage.getParameters().put('nooverride', '1');
            newPage.getParameters().put('oppid', opptyID);
            return newPage.setRedirect(true);
        }
    }
  
    private final ApexPages.StandardController controller;
    
    public boolean hasOpportunityContact(string opptyid){
        Boolean rv = false;
        OpportunityContactRole [] ocr = [Select Id, OpportunityId From OpportunityContactRole Where OpportunityId = :opptyid];
        if (ocr.size() > 0) {rv = true;}
        return rv;
    }

}
 
When I try to redirect to the Apex Page it does not redirect. 
 
Thanks

What about doing it in the controller, rather than the visualforce page?
 
 
public class DispatcherQuoteNewController {
    
    public String opptyID {get; set;}
 
    public DispatcherQuoteNewController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
        this.controller = controller;

		if([some condition]) {
			redirect();
		}
    }

		public PageReference redirect() {
                   PageReference pg         = new PageReference([somepage]);
                   pg.setRedirect(true);
                   return pg;
		}
