Start Page

[captaincrash]

Hey, how can I redirect the start page to something other than the first arcticle in the hiearchy.

Try this simple and dirty approach:

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.the-domain-you-want-to-redirect-to.com"> is the part that actually does the redirecting.

The number preceding the url (in this case zero) tells the browser the number of seconds to wait before redirecting to the new url.

You could set this to 5 and add some optional text to your page - something like:

"Please wait while we redirect you to our new site".

That's it! Just copy the code, save it (i.e. save as index.html) and your html redirect will work perfectly.

Don't forget that if you haven't deleted "index.html" you can modify and use it for such purposes, too

hello

create an an article in the the root of the index site structure, and there you have the field "redirect" there you can add e.g. index.php?alias so you can redirect to every stucture level you want!

always use full URL in redirect fields like
"http://www.mysite.com/index.php?start"
