I'm not sure what they're called in Dot Net Nuke, but how can I assign a short name or alias to a URL (ie,  http://mysite.com/signup ) so that it goes to my signup page, which might be at http://mysite.com/tabid/103/Default.aspx  ?

You can setup a rule in the friendly URL's tool to handle that direction!

I would highly recommend synapsis page blaster for that type of redirection its really flexible... there are also a couple of other options available. For example you could turn on humanfriendly urls and call the page "sign up" so that would create the url mysite.com/signup.aspx

You can also perform this redirection with a bit of classic ASP.

  1. Create a folder: yoursite.com/yourshortcut
  2. Create an ASP page named default.asp
  3. In the page, enter <% response.redirect("url_to_your_page") %>
  4. Upload the default.asp file into the yourshortcut folder.

A restriction is that you can't use any names that are already in use by DNN (like "Providers").

If you want to see it at work on my site, click here: http://www.cimh.org/visitors (this leads to our "Information for Visitors" page).

Hi Mike
I know this is an old thread.. But if you are still active here, Id like to know what the contents of your default.asp.

I created a folder named socialmedia and saved my default.asp there but it sends me to the file not found page.
here's the content of my default.asp :

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% Option Explicit %>

<html>
<head>
<title>InduSoft Inc.</title>
</head>

<body >
<% response.redirect("http://204.236.130.202/Media/tabid/64...") %>
</body>
</html>

Let me know where I went wrong.
thanks
jam
