Straight to the children

Permalink
This is my second post about the same issue I have, my first seems to be removed. I don't know why, hope I'm not getting annoying.

I have my Main Navigation set up like this.

Home
About
- History
- The company
Products
- Quality
- Testing
- Developing
Gallery
Contact

When you go to About or Products the children appear in a second-level Auto-Nav placed in the left sidebar. I would want the About-link to go straight to History, and products to Quality. The Products and About don't even have to exist. This way it gets a lot easier for everyone, the visitor won't have to click so much and look at empty pages here and there because we haven't filled those extra pages with text.

Hope you understand what I want and that this post won't disappear. Thank you so much!

Hi Alejandro,

Forums seem a little quiet, I'm hoping it is because people are still away on holiday as I have a question that I'm hoping someone will answer as well.

You could try a redirect on the About page, but as some one else has posted athttp://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/page_routi... it looks like you can only do this client side, something like:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=http://www.yourdomain.com/About/History">

You can add a custom meta tag through the admin interface. As pointed out in the post referenced above, it's a bit clunky from a user experience point of view as you will get a flash when the page reloads.

It's holiday... Didn't think of that ;)

I use redirects on some pages too, but I've done it with PHP so that the browsers don't have to load a whole load of HTML just to do that again after the redirect.

I would like this to happen dynamically without having to fuggle around with the page settings, if it's possible.

Look at this thread:http://www.concrete5.org/index.php?cID=2284...

I found a solution to this which according to the changelog is already part of 5.2rc
