home not in {NAV_LIST} or any other NAV

[lizu]

hello,

i am new to phpwcms and don't now, if my question is right in this forum.
when i start my site with entering the url without parameters, it starts with "home" or the root node of all pages. (page structure)
every other page is a child node of that and is visible in the navigation list, for example {NAV_LIST}. but the root node or "home" is not within this menu.

i can avoid this problem by redirecting fom home/root to the node, i want to see at the start. but how can i save this redirect, because it is ugly.

any ideas? i haven't found the solution in the documentation and here in the forum by myself.

regards,
lizu

Hi Lizu. The only way I know of is the 'workaround' of creating a new category called 'Home' and entering 'index.php' in the field 'redirect to:'. I agree it would be nice if 'Home' was an automatic inclusion in menus.

thank you for your answer. i use the redirect solution now.

but another question:
what is the replacement tag for a list of all articles within a given point of the page structure?

if i dont want to write a lot of "articles", it is somewhat confusing to have a structure like this:

start
german
startseite
startseite (article)
neuigkeiten
neuigkeiten (article)
links
links (article)
english
homepage
homepage (article)
news
news (article)
links
links (article)

instead i would like to use

start
german
startseite (article)
neuigkeiten (article)
links (article)
english
homepage (article)
news (article)
links (article)

but how can i then get a menu?
{NAV_LIST} won't work then, because it is only for structure elements, not for article elements.

regards,
lizu
