Add additional link to existing page in nav
Permalink
I am using the Superfish plugin to display the main navigation for a site.
I want to do the following:
Home
About Us
- About Us Overview
- Personnel
- Company
- History
Services
Contact Us
I want the "About Us" tab and the "About Us Overview" tab to link to the same page.
I am wondering if there is a way to add a page to the Sitemap that links to an internal page. I see that looking at the Sitemap, I can create an external link and add a link that way - but wanted to know if there was a way to more specifically identify a local page.
Thanks,

Thanks Jon. That did answer part of the question, as I could not find a way to make an alias. So yes, thanks.
Problem in this case is that it seems I am not allowed to add a page under itself - I get the following notice:
"You may not move/copy/alias the chosen page(s) to that location."
So I will leave this question out there a little longer in case someone kicks in a solution to that. Otherwise, happy to mark your answer as it was helpful.

Job* not Jon :-P.
To the best of my knowledge, you can't alias a page under itself, certainly not through the sitemap interface anyway.
It might be possible through code, but that's a very long-winded way to manage your site structure, especially if you ever have to change it.
I'd suggest either using a stack to manage the content, and having that stack on the 2 pages ( but they'd be different pages ), or restructuring your site map.
Hope this helps.

I think creating an "external link" is the best way to go. Knowing how the alias funciton works, and that it does not fit my need, seems to rule out what I was hoping for as a better solution to the external link. No big deal. that will work fine, not optimally, but fine.

Just a tip to remember. By using external links, if your page URL changes, you'll need to update your external link also, otherwise it'll point to a 404.
Thanks. That is really the reason I wanted to find a better way to do it, but in this case there likely will not be moved pages.
Thanks though.
Thanks though.
Hi
Thanks for this. It is exactly what I need. There is just one
problem. How can I removed the alias from my NAV. There is not a property link to do so.

Why would you want a second alias of a page which isn't in the nav?
This just cropped up with a client of mine.
On the sitemap, click the icon of the page that you want under another heading, and drag it where you want a duplicate making. This will pop up a window asking if you want to Move, Alias or Copy it.
Select "Alias".
Now the changes will be made in a single place, but the page will be displayed in 2 places.
Hope this helps. If it does, be sure to mark it as an answer!
