To clarify, maybe an example: Department Folder contains multiple article objects including one designated as 'main'. When Department Folder node is requested, I want to redirect to the 'main' article.
I've read the posts on redirects and they all seem to make use of the uri redirect that's available via hidden form field. I need to do this without a form. I also tried node_view_gui function but I can't seem to get output.
I have the same problem and I resolve it with this solution:
1 - Use the url translator action at setup section
2 - Create a new system forwarding (the first type)
3 - At the New virtual URL input put the parent alias node 4 - At the System URL input put the full system path of child node
