you need manually to enable human friendly urls by a secret web.config setting.

Yep, that's true and i believe you must add  urlFormat="HumanFriendly"  to the dnnfriendlyurl section in your web.config

Cheers,

Marc

Thanks. That did the trick!

Just to be clear to others who want to enable Human Friendly urls, edit the web.config file for the site adding:

urlFormat="HumanFriendly"

to the end of the tag:

<add name="DNNFriendlyUrl" ... >

so it ends up as:

<add name="DNNFriendlyUrl" ... urlFormat="HumanFriendly">

See http://www.ventrian.com/Resources/Projects/FriendlyUrls.aspx for more details.

Hmm - all this time I thought I WAS using Human Friendly URLs and it turned out I wasn't. All my urls ended in default.aspx, but used the \var\value\ format instead of ?var=value format, which I thought HFU was.

It's only when I tried to install the Ifinity URL Master that it added in the urlFormat="HumanFriendly" on uninstall that I realised that all this time I was only using half the solution! I can't change it now due to SEO reasons and duplicate content, but this really should be more publicised!

For the record I am going the whole hog with URL Master form Infinity - ie.

Just to throw my 2 cents in...

It's true you have to add the Human Friendly Url switch to the web.config.  The 'old' value is called 'searchFriendly' if you are interested.   Your 'old' Urls will still work if you do this, however, if you want search engines to update the indexes, you'll need to setup 301 redirects to pick up the new values. 

oh and just to fight the losing battle with my site name it's ifinity.com.au - no 'n' :-)
