Permit redirect from /node to <front>

Created on 11 November 2024, 12 days ago

Problem/Motivation

- Default Drupal front page is the Views page /node which list all the "promoted to front page" nodes, i.e. almost all nodes. this leads to a huge number of pages with /node?num_page, a useless listing of poor seo value (at least in my case).
- On the other hand, I have a personalized page (a node using Layout Builder) which serves like "front page" (defined as default front page in "admin/config/system/site-information") and has a personalized alias url "/frontpage".

The problem is that I can't redirect "/node" to "/frontpage". It is impossible to add a redirect to either the "title name" of the customized "front page", or the page url "node/nid_of_frontpage", or the alias "/frontpage". It throws the message "You are attempting to redirect the page to itself. This will result in an infinite loop."

The only redirection I can add is to "/" and to "" but the redirection doesn't work, I can still display "/node?page=num_page".

Disabling the Views doesn't change anything in the redirect behavior, it just result" to a "404 page not found".
-------------------------
If I set "/node" as default front page in config/system/site-information, then I can add a redirection from /node to /frontpage but this loops and ends up with a wod. Unable to access any page and even to phypmyadmin.
DatabaseExceptionWrapper: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2014 Cannot execute queries while other unbuffered queries are active...
The way to bring back the site was to manually delete the row in the "redirect" table of the database.

Steps to reproduce

- Create some content with a basic page, give it a custom alias "frontpage"
- Set this page as frontpage in admin/config/system/site-information
- Add a redirect from /page to /frontpage
=> You can't save the redirection and you get the message "You are attempting to redirect the page to itself. This will result in an infinite loop"
