I would like to have a navigation menu with two level. But there is no content on the top level pages, they are only sections for the structure. I would like to jump from the first level directly in each section to the first child item. How is it possible to realize it?

You could try making the Products and Project pages "Redirect Pages".

Redirector pages linking to the first child would be the way to do it, as grilldan said.

So you'd change the page type in the CMS (using the behaviour tab) for the Products and Projects pages to a "Redirector page".

Then, you'd choose the first child from the dropdown once the page is changed to a redirector. This means that if anyone hits that given page, it'll redirect them to the page chosen in the dropdown.

Thanx to all of you! Great, it works!
I haven't found the easy way to use just an other page type! Thats the possibility for my project.
And it's good to know php function for an other project!
Great community! :-)
