Page redirection

Hi,

I have a dynamic drop down menu in my design similar to this in terms of hierarchy:

<ul>
  <li><a href="home">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="about">Cats</a>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="profile">Siamese</a></li>
      <li><a href="history">Persian</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li><a href="products">Dogs</a>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="plugins">Golden Retriever</a></li>
      <li><a href="coffee">Border Collie</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li><a href="contact">Contact us</a></li>
</ul>

I have used sections for Home, Cats, Dogs and Contact us. And Siamese, Persian, Golden Retriever and Border Collie are all articles. My headache arises from wanting to have:

• Home and Contact us as static pages
• and for Cats and Dogs to redirect to the first child in the menu. (ie Cats->Siamese, Dogs->Golden Retriever)

Any ideas?

(edit: added bc. for better readability. -Els)

Re: Page redirection

I’m not sure if you’re asking how to build the menu or how to display the right articles for the menu items?

Re: Page redirection

(thank you for the edit Els – I tried bc. but I couldn’t get textile to work. but that’s off topic)

Hi Els. I’m asking how to create a redirection from one page to another, so that when a visitor clicks on Cats for example, they go to Siamese.
