Yeah I was afraid that is the case... but unfortunately the client does want this. The site structure is split up into two sections they call Industries and Capabilities and Some Capabilities are also listed as sub Items of an Industry. I am thinking of creating a separate page and referencing

Hi guys, There is actually a solution for this. For any secondary links, simply create a page that does nothing but redirects to an anchor, either via metarefresh or javascript. Also, make sure content class of the redirect page is set to master page so it show up in navigation. Best, -Jian O

Yes that is one way around it, just need to keep a record of pages which are linked to what otherwise you would end up with dead links if you remove the actual page. Also make sure its a 301 redirect so google doesnt get teh hump -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Go

How about creating a now Master Page that has nothing but a container in it and attaching the other page to that? HTH. Richard Hauer. On Jul 30, 2:28 am, Jian Huang wrote: > or have > > > > On Jul 29, 12:16 pm, Tony Gayter wrote: > > > > > Yes that is one way around it, just need to keep a re

Hi Richard, That is a very creative suggestion. By attaching the other page, I assume you meant referencing the other way, else it would create publication issues due to pages being connected to multiple locations. There are 2 things one would have to be aware of if one choose to use this method

Hi Jian, What I was thinking was a bit simpler than that. The down side of my approach is that you'll get different URLs as you will end up with 2 different pages, but they will contain identical content so the client probably won't have an issue with that. There may be some tweaks needed to the N

Hi Richard, Neat idea, and I actually tested it out when it was first suggested because it could potentially become a best practice. The main obstacle is that links pages under A would not appear when viewer from the container page B. Another problem one may have to deal with is that pages with

Hi Jian, I suspect the issue with the links is because we have broken the Navigation chain. To restore it, on the "Empty Container Template" that is also a master page (B in this case), add a List and mark it as the navigation list. Then reference the navigation list on A to the navigation list on

Hi Richard, Your suspicion is correct regarding the broken naigation chain. I have also tested out what you have suggested in my first test. The navigation would not be displayed because navigation manager do not accept references nor secondary linking appearances. I just want to add that in a
