Is it possible to have index file in template group as a default landing page when certain URL does not exist?

Example:
If user is landing on domain.org/br/qr01 or domain.org/br/01 I’d like to redirect him in both cases to domain.org/br/.

Now URL domain.org/br/qr01 is fine but domain.org/br/01 brakes up the page because the second segment is triggering something in EE (categories?) and that results in page without content.

Any ideas?

Do you have strict urls enabled?

If so the index template should get called when EE can’t find a template with the second segment in the URL. 

From there EE looks for a url_title to match.

Usually you can handle any issues with some conditionals in the template groups’ index template.

I also recommend the template conditionals—one of my co-workers forwarded me this link that was helpful: http://www.capelinks.com/blog/404-error-control-expression-engine/

tomazbojc,

Did Michael and barrel’s suggestions get you on the right path? Is there anything else we can assist you with?

Cheers,

Hi guys, thanks for your replies, I relay appreciate it. What I used was

{if no_results}{redirect="{country_code}/index"}{/if}

and it works as I want it to. Thanks again 😊
