I need a page just like the Redirect Page, but I need it to have a different content type. This new content type uses Redirect Page as it's parent but includes some new columns that are used for organizing the pages in a view.
I've created the new content type, and creating a normal page layout is no problem. What I can't figure out is how to make a page that works just like the redirect page, but using the alternate content type.
The whole secret behind the Redirect page is the actual Page layout, not the content type itself (unless you count the association). What I'm practically saying is that you can create any content type deriving from any of the default Page content types and associate with it a new Page Layout.
Every time you switch to your content type also the Page layout gets applied and code within the actual .aspx would get executed - basically you could use META tag, or simply JavaScript, or if you have some Server-side logic even the plain ASP.NET code.
