RM 1.2 Change main "Resources" navigation menu url

[JacquiiDesigns]

Hey guys. I'd like to change the main navigation menu link from http://sitename.com/resources/ to http://sitename.com/resources/categories/categoryname.1/ ... So basically I want the main navigation link to link to the category as opposed to the main XFRM index page. All of the dropdown menus and sub-navigation tablinks menu would remain the same, only the main "Resources" link should change.

How can I do this?
Thanks!

Hmmm. I *kinda* thought I'd be able to use a root filter. But can't seem to get it to work correctly.
Trying to make resources/ go to resources/categories/merchant-members.1/
Is it even possible??? Help!

To be honest, I think this might require code changes to do properly.

Thanks for responding @Mike
Might you have a suggestion of where ever to even start as for code changes? I'd have thought this would be rather simple actually. But seems it's easier said than done

Perhaps there may even be a way to implement some sort of .htaccess redirect code to *only* target the main resources link...?
Maybe you'd have a suggestion as for any possible .htaccess code @Jake Bunce?

Thanks,

Add these rules to the top of the .htaccess file in your web root:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^resources/$ /resources/categories/categoryname.1/? [R=301,L]

AWESOME! That did it. Thanks @Jake Bunce
Where's the best place online to learn about writing .htaccess files?
I tried a few options and it didn't seem to work correctly; it seemed to redirect not only the main resources index page but other XFRM pages as well. And wow. It seems like there's a million and one pieces of advise on how to write correct .htaccess code - but only a handful of options (if you can even find them) that actually work correctly. Anyway - Thanks. Much appreciation.

I need this same thing, is there a better way than a rewrite? I hate messing with those as they can by kicky.
