Menu items to pages who are an internal link

Hi,

I notices when a page is rendered in a navigation tag and that page is actually an internal link to another page there is no field in the navigation xml containing the ID of the linked page. This then alway results in a redirect to the actual page, is there a possibility to add the ID to the xml or a setting that can alter the ID in the Href or FriendlyHref attributes in the XML data?

Kind regards,

Ben

This would make it possible to create a nice and organized virtual menu structure with menu items pointing to pages anywhere in the site.

Hi Ben

If you use the Href attribute you get the destination page.

If you use the FriendlyHref attribute, you get the URL of the navigation item that gives you 301.

This is by design (DC things, sitemap.xml etc.)

You can just use the Href attribute. Dynamicweb will rewrite the urls to the friendly ones for you, so no need to use FriendlyHref attribute

Hi Nicolai,

That will do the trick. Tried this on the virtual menu structures we created for one site and the 301 redirects are removed. This will result in a slightly improved performance. Thanx.
