I’m creating a site with some 50 pages. In order to index them in various ways in multiple menus, I’m finding I have to duplicate them, then change the display name so it matches the original (the file name is differentiated automatically).
This will do what I need, BUT… When I want to edit such a page, I’ll need to edit the duplicated one(s) individually (or re-duplicate etc).
I don’t see anywhere that it’s possible to have a page alias that would allow me to just put that alias into another page group and menu – then when editing the original, the alias would pick up the changes.
Am I missing something? Is this possible? If not, could it be added as a feature?
So for example, if you go HERE, you’ll see two menus: LEADERS/PRODUCERS and BANDS/GROUPS/ENSEMBLES/DUOS. Under the Leaders menu, when you hover over my name (Tom Bergeron), the top item is “Clovis|Clovis” — an eponymously-titled album by the band Clovis. There are four producers of this recording, each or whom has it listed under their name (Bergeron, Coker, Cooper, & Hagberg). There is also a listing of the recording under the band’s name in the Band menu.
To accomplish this multiple listing, I had to make 5 copies of the page and place it in the desired locations. If I need to edit the page, then I’ll need to edit all 5, or go through the duplication process again.
What I’m asking for is a way to create an alias of the page that I can insert into multiple menu positions – but all of which would link to a single page. Edit that one page and the aliases would still link to the same page, now edited.
Does that make sense? Is there already a way to accomplish this that I’m not seeing?
Ah sounds like you’re relying on auto-added items. What you want there is to manually add a menu item (with the + button at the bottom of the list of menu items), and manually set the page to be linked to the page.
