Question

Say I have a content structure like:

About Us
  Information
  Contact Us
  Blah 

When a user clicks About Us, how can I make it display the Information page?

This would be required on multiple site sections so hardcoding links / redirects won’t work.

How can I make a page display the content from the first child, if exists?

Answer 1

I think it might be easier to answer if you describe what you are trying to do.

But if you are on the “About Us” page (ie. Sitecore.Context.Item is the “About Us” item).

You can check if the current item has children like this:

if (Sitecore.Context.Item.HasChildren) { /* do something */ }

You can access the children in the following way:

Sitecore.Context.Item.Children

This returns a ChildList object on which you could call GetArray() to get an Item[].

If you just blindly wanted the first item I guess you could call:

Sitecore.Context.Item.Children.ToArray()[0]; //arrays are zero-based, so the first item is 0 and not 1

But try to write a bit about what you are trying to do (ie make a menu or something).
