Trying to implement the following site structure, but experiencing redirect issues.
Brief description about the site structure
the site is split into different departments
each department has its own settings, a home page and a redirect page to other departments
Content > Site Settings >> en (redirect to department A - works) >>> department A (specific department settings | redirect to first child node) >>>> home >>>> page (redirect to department B - infinite loop) >>> department B (specific department settings | redirect to first child node - infinite loop) >>>> home >>>> page (redirect to department A)
Tried redirecting Department A | Page to Department B and Department B | Home using umbracoRedirect and umbracoInternalRedirectId with no luck.
Hmm ok...I'm not sure why you are using the umbracoInternalRedirectId property?
What happens if you only make a redirect using the umbracoRedirect property from department a to department b node, without doing a redirect from department b to deparment a node? Does this still keep looping?
Maybe you should look into using the redirect datatype, which ships with uComponents? (It's using 301 redirect instead of 302 redirect, which is what the umbracoRedirect is using).
Internal Redirect Loop

Would be grateful for any help
Hi Sean
So what is supposed to happen where? :)
Are you trying to make internal redirects in Umbraco or are you trying to make redirects on the website?
And what version of Umbraco are you using?

Hi Jan
Thought might be bit confusing - will try again
Site Settings | en redirects to Department A - this works
I need a page in Department A's navigation to redirect to Department B, and vice versa - this doesn't work
Not sure why - any ideas?
