Evening all, just a quick one I wanted to pass by you guys. I have the following architecture:

-Home
-About Us
-Sub Page
-Sub Page
-Sub Page
-Contact Us

Now, despite the fact it's duplicating the About Us page, the client would like to create a copy of the About Us page below the About Us page called "Company Profile" but as the two pages are the same I suggested linking them (so they don't need to update both copies etc).

The issue I have is I can't create a copy of the parent under itself so what would people suggest? The only thing that needs to be different is the menu text...

The new sitemap should look like this:
-Home
-About Us
-Company Profile (mirror of about us)
-Sub Page
-Sub Page
-Sub Page
-Contact Us

TIA

Hi Tim

This seems like a scenario where you would want to use a redirect? Or is there a specific reason for wanting two different URL's for the same content?

What I would do is this:

-Home
-About Us (redirect to Company Profile)
- -Company Profile (regular page)
- -Sub Page
- -Sub Page
- -Sub Page
-Contact Us

For redirecting add a property to your document type with the alias "umbracoRedirect" with the content picker as datatype. This will automatically redirect a page to the chosen node ID.

Brill thanks Morten that's exactly what I was after, I didn't want to have a copy of the page but couldn't see any other way of doing it :D
