Default News Article

[Wolverine]

I'm trying to get a default news article to appear when you go to /news on the CMS. Right now, when you type /news in your browser, it goes to this page, and it's really blank and ugly. I'm trying to redirect so when you manually type "{url}/news" it'll redirect you to the default news article and display the news content.

You must be registered for see images attach

I know I could change the URL in /community so when you click news it'll go to the first, but that doesn't help the fact that when you type news manually, this shows up.

What CMS are you using?
RevCMS naturally selects one.

RevCMS, for some reason mine doesn't. It goes to a blank article as shown above in the OP.

Paste your news page, some themes handle it there and others using rev's default function lets try that first.

Here it is. I am trying to redirect it to the first article created, as it's a welcome type article.
News.php:

I think the easiest way (noob-friendly) would be to add this to your .htaccess file

Redirect 301 /news /index.php?url=news&id=(Enter News ID Here)

If you're using web.config, let me know. I can convert it.

Not sure if this would work for you, but we use this code at Pure. It automatically redirects to the article for you.

<?php
if(isset($_GET['id']))
{
$id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']);
$query = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM `cms_news` WHERE id = '{$id}'" );
$array = mysql_fetch_array($query);

if ($array == null)
{
$getMax = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT MAX(id) FROM cms_news LIMIT 1"));
header("Location: ".$_CONFIG['hotel']['url']."/index.php?url=news&id=". $getMax['MAX(id)'] ."");
exit();
}
}
?>

Works, thank you Blasteh.
