Friendly Url

Hi,

Is there a way so that a page URL can be rewritten from:

http://www.myserver.com/contact/tabid/10/default.aspx

to:

http://www.myserver.com/contact.aspx

If possible, is there any side effect to this? How does it affect redirecting programmatically?

Thanks in advance

Paul

Re: Friendly Url

Paul , if it is an established site, then don't forget you'll need to forward (using a 301 redirect) all your old urls to your new urls, both for search engines and for existing links on other sites.

Re: Friendly Url

Thank you both for the info! I downloaded the latest version (5.01.02) and it works by default.

One last thing: Is it possible to remove the '.aspx'? So you only have http://www.myserver.com/contactus, for example.

I read a bit about it from the given link, although it requires to access IIS settings. I was wondering if there was a setting that can implemented at web.config or through FriendlyUrl section in Host Settings.

Thanks again.
