Page redirection affects generated navTree

Graphuste

Hello @mad ,
I don't know if it is a bug or a feature 😁 but I encountered a problem with the way the navTreetool works.
My site tree is like this :

/home
    / Level 1 page
        /Level 2 page
        /Level 2 page
        /Level 2 page
        /...

The thing is, in some cases, I would like to redirectLevel 1 page to the first Level 2 page, using the page settings. But by doing that, the navTreetool completely ignores every Level 2 page under the level Level 1 page which has the redirection.
I tested that with my custom recursive navigation snippet (quite like the snippet in your doc), and it correctly generates the level2 links.

Is it normal, for the navTree? Is there a simple solution I overlooked ?
For now, I used a workaround, by creating a pageList snippet of my own, but maybe you will want to look into this.

Thank you in advance,

Graphuste maybe with adding prefix to the Level 2 page's?
Or adding a date in the settings of the Level 2 pages and try sorting that way?

Graphuste Hi there, it is actually the expected behaviour. External URLs are treated as a dead end by the navTree() method. However your solution using a custom recursive snippet is anyway the better option in my opinion and offers more flexibility.

ctuxboy thanks for your answer. In my case, level 2 pages already have a date and prefix manually set... And I think the navTree object does not allow sorting by date anyway.
Nice try 😸
