Hello:
We have been using DNN for the past 5-6 months successfully, however I was asked if DNN could redirect Urls i.e. marketing like to publish links like www.mydomain.com/promo in email and print media which could refer to page in the DNN portal so that users do not have to remember or type long and cryptic urls. Are there any open source or commercial products to do this? 

Thanks
sd

Yes, I have also gone thru friendly urls doc. However ideally I would like to redirect http://www.mydomain.com/pa -> http://www.mydomain.com/Default.apspx?tabid=200.

Notice that I have a directory name rather than a file name in "". 

Thanks
Sd

The only way this is possible is if you have control over your IIS instance ( ie. its your server ).  That's because IIS traps this incoming HTTP request and decides what to do with it.  IIS default behavior will report this as an error unless it is an actual legitimate path name ( i.e. http://mydomain.com/pa actually exists ).  So not only does DotNetNuke not recieve the request, but ASP.Net doesn't even receive the request because it never gets to there ( only gets there with an appropriate file extension on the call ).

If you operate your own server, you can research the answer to this by investigating IIS.

Cheers

Theres more details on this here, plus a link to an ISAPI filter which helps with much of the setup (you'll have to have server access to install it). For IIS7 (part of Vista), Microsoft have altered the architecture of the pipeline, so this will be possible quite easily via simple web.config settings, and the approriate httphandler. You can read more about IIS7's features here
