Internal redirects

[zitzko]

Hello together,

I came across PW a couple of weeks ago, and since I got familiar with the pages-concept I managed to relaunch my own website (www.edv-service-zitzkowski.de) in relatively short time.

That led me to the decision to use PW for all further projects, and convert older projects, where applicable.

Although these projects are not too sophisticated, I came to a sudden stop.

If a menu-item has no content of its own for some reason, I want to redirect to the first subpage automaticly.

First I thought the URL-fieldtype would help me with that, but unfortunately gave me nothing but a 404.

After unsuccessfully browsing the forum, I think I just ask.

Regards

Hajo

Hi kongondo,

Thanks for your reply. That's what I call fast.

I think this will help. Maybe simply too easy to see ...
