Setting default index page for website


(Ryan Archer) #1

I am just looking to make a simple redirect page for a website subdirectory for our website (http://slq.qld.gov.au/dl). I want to use meta redirect for this instead of the squiz remap/redirect as I need the browser to pick up on Google Analytics tags to get stats first before the redirect is actioned.

 

I have setup a new separate site for redirects in the system (away from the real website as I want to avoid confusion and keep it clean). I have created a simple page asset called "home" underneath this redirect site and applied simple HTML without a Design or any customisations applied. But the redireciton only works when you go to http://slq.qld.gov.au/dl/homeor http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/dl/home

 

I want the redirect to happen on http://slq.qld.gov.au/dlor http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/dl.

So I am simply asking how to make a standard page in a website the default index.html page - meaning that the user does not need to navigate to the actual page name.

 

I know it is possible, but I just can't figure out how.

Wow, talk about a quick turnaround. I just found the option. For anyone else who's starting out and wants to know. I went to the website asset and selected "Details" and then scrolled down the page to the Special Page Links section. Just need to insert the page asset that you want to be the default/index page to show when no page is specified.

 

Just like that.
