Hello,

I want to create clean, short URLs to pages deep within my DNN website. For example, instead of having to print

www.mydnnwebsite.com/MyPage/tabid/66/Default.aspx

in a brochure, I want to be able to print

www.mydnnwebsite.com/MyPage

...and have the user bounced to whatever URL I want. On my pre-DNN websites, I'd use a "folder redirect": that is, a URL such as www.mywebsite.com/product will lead to an index page in the /product/ folder that will in turn redirect the user to some location deeper in the website that has a longer, uglier URL.

What is the best way to create these sorts of folder redirects inside a DNN application? I am guessing a Child Portal, where the Child Portal's home page is set via Other Settings >> Link URL to redirect to a page back inside the main DNN website? Just wanted to be sure there were no pitfalls to this method I should be aware of.

Thank you!
