Hi there.

I have installed DNN on the local machine with out any live domain to test out its features. I was stuck with one thing i.e the URL i dont want it look like this which i am currently getting. i.e "http://127.0.0.1/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx" instead i would like it to be as "http://127.0.0.1/home" or some thing similar i dont like the whole thing to come. As i dont want all that tabid/36/ or just default.aspx

So can anyone tell me how to do this.

Thanks

Take a look at turning on Human Friendly URLs.  You can also manually setup URL Rewrite rules, but that probably isn't the route to take if you're wanting to adjust the URLs throughout the whole site.

Hope it helps,

Human Friendly URLs shouldn't have any Tab IDs in the URL.  It should just reflect the hierarchy of tabs (i.e., http://www.engagesoftware.com/Blog.aspx for the Blog tab), and potentially other query string parameters (which you can't really get around).

The problem with something like www.google.com/images is that IIS won't forward that request to ASP.NET unless you (1) run every request through ASP.NET, which isn't recommended for performance reasons, or (2) physically create each of the folders that you want available, and then add a default document that IIS will forward to ASP.NET (usually Default.aspx).  You'd also need to setup URL Rewriter rules for each of these URLs.  This can be quite a bit of maintenance if you want to do this for your whole site.

I hope this helps,

Hi Brian,

I checked out your website and notice that your navigation menu is deisnged correctly without the tab ID. (i.e. When a visit click on  Careers under About, the url is displayed as "http://www.engagesoftware.com/About/Careers.aspx" instead of "http://www.engagesoftware.com/About/tabid/795/default.aspx") May you tell me how can this be done? Thank you for your help!

-Oliver
