Direct links to C5 through Mega Menu to avoid parent page
Permalink
I am not sure if this is a C5 or Mega Menu problem.
We have a site which uses Mega Menu. In Mega Menu you can specify that when a user clicks on a parent site, to automatically go to the first child item.
This all works...everything is great.
However, if the user enters in a URL that is direct to the parent menu, Mega Menu doesn't know the user clicked on it, and it ends up going to the page stored in C5 that the user should not ever see.
Example navigation:
Products
* About our Products
* Product Downloads
* Product Support
When the user clicks Products, Mega Menu routes to About our Products.
But when the user entershttp://www.mycompany.com/Products... it goes to the actual C5 products page and does not go to the About our Products page.
Where do I configure C5/Mega Menu to respect the first child upon direct navigation?

Perhaps, but I think the problem may actually need to be done in C5. Because (totally assuming here) the direct link is processed by C5 before Mega Menu even gets it. Somehow, wouldn't I need to tell C5 to redirect to a different page?
You could try this approach:

This sounds like an add-on specific question.
I recommend posting this question to the add-on help page:
