How to create a shortcut URL to redirect to another page?
Permalink
Our website is http://www.simmetrix.com
(clicking on the above doesn't seem to work, but if you copy/paste in a new tab it will take you there)
Navigating down, you can get to:
http://www.simmetrix.com/index.php/simmodeler/crack-insertion-and-p...
What I'd like to do is set up the URL http://www.simmetrix.com/crack that would take someone to the above address.
Is there a built-in way to do this in Concrete5? How?
It seems like all the pages in our website besides the first have "index.php" before the path, is there any way to hide that? I could see making a page at the top level named crack, and somehow having it point to the actual page, but it would still have the index.php in the title...
Thanks for any help,
Heather Myers

you can enable pretty urls in the dashboard to get rid of the /index.php part.
I found the setting you mentioned, enabled and clicked Apply and everything broke (so I reverted). Then I saw that it wants me to add some code to the .htaccess file, so I'll try that. Thank you for the hint!
you should upgrade your concrete5 version to the most current. back up first.
you can create an external url that will redirect you to any url so you could use that. You could also create an alias.

My version is 5.7.5.1 I thought it was only an issue if I was 5.6 or earlier?
I tried using the Location->Add URL option, and at first it seemed to work, I could getwww.www.simmetrix.com/index.php/crack... to be a url. Then I realized I had placed that on the wrong page, and now it doesn't work (when I removed it from the old page and placed it on the new)
I guess I can just change the path for the page, I don't need it to be the path I originally created.
