I have "bio" section on site and it has several subsections like "about", "news", "faq", etc

So what I need is make ez display say "about" section when I type "mysite.com/bio". Actually to make "about" default section in "bio" folder.

I tryied to make system redirect "/bio" => "/content/view/555" but it makes admin cp to follow that redirect and thus I cannot access "bio" folder child nodes to edit.

Is there any simple way to do it? Maybe some overrides like in templates?

Hi Ivan,

This can be achieved in your override/bio/site.ini.append.php with

[SiteSettings]
IndexPage=/content/view/full/the-node-you-want
DefaultPage=/content/view/full/the-node-you-want

Hi Ivan

If you just want to display the same content under bio and about you can also create an override for the bio folder and in the template call only {node_view_gui view=full content_node=$aboutnode}.

Maybe also this redirect operator is of interest to you:

Please note that this sends a http header 301 which might not be suitable for you, so you should change that if necessary.
