CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

How can I create a page that doesn't contain any content but instead is an alias for another page? What I want to achieve is that when the url http://example.com/foo is accessed it either redirects to http://example.com/foo/bar or, alternatively, returns the same content that the latter url would have returned. Is this possible?

TIA.

There is the ContentAliases module, but it's not compatible with the latest cmsms build yet, as far as I know

Yup I had to slap  a




on the page's metadata to get it to work... which is a bit painful... but 'needs must'

Send a redirect (301, 302...) at the protocol level (HTTP), not inside the page.
Use your webserver or an updated ContentAliases module.

This can also be done in the menu with the Content Type drop down, make the page a Link and fill in the fields...

Thanks for taking time to reply, but from what I understand MovedPages doesn't help me here. What I would like is the ability to instead of writing content for a specific page specify another page that the former is an alias for (or link to if you so like). For example I may have a page at the location /Stuff/Things but also a page /Things that simply redirects the user to /Stuff/Things. I had imagined there was a Content Type that made this possible.
