[TYPO3-english] Home page url

[Christopher Affleck]

Hi Markus,

Thanks for the advice and answering my question. I've just looked at the change
and it seems like it makes sense. Maybe I should be using 4.5 as a relative
beginner.

Cheers

Chris

Hi Chris!

There has been a recent change in TYPO3, which is that Shortcuts actually
trigger a redirect to the target page.
When the tutorials were created, this behavior was different; hence the
resulting URL didn't contain any path.

I recommend keeping everything in the Root page.

Kind regards
Markus
