Redirect to first child

Karmalakas · June 30, 2021, 6:33pm

Hi,

I was looking on how to redirect to first child and got from this topic to this changelog entry for v1.7.4

Fixed page redirect to the first visible child page (needs to be routable and published, too)

But I can’t figure out how to set up such redirect. At least in Admin I only see where to enter the route to which redirect to. There’s nothing in the docs either

Any pointers on the first child redirect?

OK, searched in a code and found this line:

github.com

getgrav/grav/blob/develop/system/src/Grav/Common/Page/Pages.php#L982

    
      
          }
          
          
if ($page) {
              $routable = $page->routable();
              if ($redirect) {
                  if ($page->redirect()) {
                      // Follow a redirect page.
                      $this->grav->redirectLangSafe($page->redirect());
                  }
          
          
        if (!$routable && ($child = $page->children()->visible()->routable()->published()->first()) !== null) {
                      // Redirect to the first visible child as current page isn't routable.
                      $this->grav->redirectLangSafe($child->route());
                  }
              }
          
          
    if ($routable) {
                  return $page;
              }
          }

Apparently parent has to be non routable and that’s fine, but why does the child have to be visible? I might not want some pages to appear in menu if I have them linked elsewhere
