Solved - Is there a way to add a page to the menu w/o creating an actual page?

Post by Crafty »

Is there a way to add a page to the menu without it creating an actual page and only the link?

The idea being that I have a page that would logically fit in more than one category, but I don't want to create two copies of the same page. The page would reside in the first category and the second category would link to the same place. For example...

Home
Category 1 > Content Page
Category 2 > Content Page

where both link to the file mysite/Category-1/content-page.html

I'm looking for something that doesn't rely on redirects or other non-SEO friendly options. I guess a good analogy would be tagging - but I'm looking for something more categorized and static then that.

Thanks for the help. I'm new to using CMSMS, but have some experience with this type of software through the eSyndicat and phpLynx web directory programs. I'm really liking what I'm seeing with this software and can't wait to get my site up and going with it!

When creating a new content item, you can choose it's 'type'.  one of those is 'link'.

Thank you! Such a quick response for what in hindsight looks like a dummy question - as in - how did I not see that?  ::)
