Page Routing
Permalink
Is there a way that I can set up certain pages to redirect automatically? For instance, if I click on the link for the home page on my site, can I set it up so it redirects to a different page instead?
I tried using a javascript function, but would rather do it in PHP so that there are not multiple page loads.

I managed to get this working using a combo of a new page type in my theme and a couple attributes. Right now it's working with options to redirect to the first child page or to a custom URL. Also for editing purposes it displays a place holder stating that the page is set to redirect and gives a link to where.
I will share this with everyone after I clean it up a little, probly in a couple days.
frz/andrew not sure where the proper forum to post in, "Building with.."? I'll write up a little tutorial to on how to set up.

here is fine, we'll pull it out to the marketplace if needbe.
That new page type with a custom attribute sounds like a good way to do it - I've worked with lots of CMSs and I always come across this problem of having a page that just exists to contain other pages. I've always found the redirect method to work well.
Did you get round to putting the code for your page type online? If not I'll just rewrite it :)

Did this ever get resolved? I am looking for the same thing, I have a parent page that exists only to hold it's children.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

how to redirect the page to next page
I find when we're doing this, we're better off just making a custom autonav/page list template to handle the navigation we're dealing with... little hacking in a theme.. that kinda thing.
