Hi all,

I have a site structure where I have a Site Settings node with my homepage/content nodes below that:

- Site settings
 - Home
 - Content
 - Content
 - Contact
 - etc...

My Site Settings node has a Content Picker with the "umbracoInternalRedirectId" alias to select the homepage. This all works fine.

What I have discovered is, any content picker throughout the site that selects the homepage node (the node being redirected), the link url is returned as "#" because the node has no url and therefor my views are outputting anchor links with href="#" instead of going to the homepage as intended.

This also impacts any link created in the RTE linking to the homepage. All pages that aren't being redirected work fine.

A few solutions I can think of are:

• Removing the Site Settings node and internal redirect (not ideal as we like this structure of separating settings)
• Instruct editors to always select the Site Settings node when they want to link to the homepage (far from ideal as we all know clients/editors are useless)
• Creating a Controller to output all links and calculating whether the intended link is the redirected node and outputting "/"
  • This would also require the RTE to be extended

Has anybody else come across this issue and has any other solutions/suggestions? Is this the expected result or should Umbraco be handling this redirect better?

Using Umbraco 8.3.0

Look forward to hearing your thoughts/suggestions.

Thanks
