When pages and menus are not mapped 1 on 1

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,
I am just starting to learn c5, so this may be a newbie question.
Suppose I want a top menu to look like:
Home - Examples
And when Examples is clicked, I want a page with a sidebar menu (an AutoNav I suppose) that displays:
Example 1
Example 2

Following c5 logic I need pages organized like this:
Home
- Examples
-- Example 1
-- Example 2

But the page "Examples" exists only to get it in the main menu, its contents should be equal to "Example 1".

What is the proper way to handle this ?

Thanks

There was a post on this just a few days ago. Look through the messages and see what pops out. I only looked at it casually. So, I don't recall the details. It involves going to the Examples page and setting something, like making it a referral page or something. I just can't remember. The end result is the Examples page redirects to Example 1.

I think this is reference I was thinking of.

After some more digging, I found the reference I really had in mind. It seems to be exactly what you want. Clicking the link for a parent page goes directly to a child page.

Excellent! The trick with the custom attribute is exactly what I needed.

(I did browse the forums, but not the chitchat section!)

Thank you very much,
