Hello,

Are we speaking of the ContentAliases module ?
In the admin, got to extensions, then module manager and C. Clic "help" on ContentAliases. Here is an extract :

"What does this do?

This module simple creates a new content type called a Content Alias. This is analogous to an "alias" in Mac OS or a "shortcut" in Windows. Basically, it lets you use the same content in multiple places on your site, and have multiple menu items pointing to that content. Editing the orginal item will update the content for all of the menu items.

How do I use it?

After installing the module, you will have a new content type available. When you want to create an alias, simply select "Content Alias" as your content type. You can then specify the title, menu title, parent, activity, and template for the content as you would normally, but you will also be able to select the "target" to which this Content Alias points."


If I understand well, it is more a matter of attaching an alias to an existing content than a content to an existing alias.

@Pierre

If I'm right this is a feature request for a new module "PageblockAlias" (like ContentAlias). We've discussed it in an earliert topic.

@xshark

Maybe you should use GlobalContentBlocks instead PageBlocks - think there's currently no other solution. And Elijah (author of this module) is currently busy.

Uhm, isn't this the same as creating a 'link' to an internal page?
