Default to first child menu item

Is there a way to set up mojoPortal to automatically display the 1st child menu item when a main menu item is clicked?

Hi,

I just created this document to explain how to do it.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Default to first child menu item

Thank you.

I've actually sorted this out just now. I used the 301 redirects feature to permanently redirect a request to my main page to the first child page. Is there any downside to this approach?

Re: Default to first child menu item

The only downsides to that solution are that an extra page is served since redirects really happen on the client after serving the page. The only other thing I can think of is you later decide not to redirect to the child it is bad to change it back because a 301 is supposed to be a permanent redirect.

Best,

Joe
