Ive been put in charge of creating some landing pages for some marketing materials our company is giving out.

This is easy enough, however they want to have custom easy to type urls the user can enter as some of these marketing materials will be sent through physical mail.

Ideally we'd like something like www.website.com/promo1, www.website.com/promo2, etc

Since DNN URL's add on the tabID stuff, how can I accomplish this?  Is there a plugin that can change the URL of all pages to their title instead of all the DNN jibberish?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Might look at ISAPIRewrite to rewrite the request before it reaches DNN.

You should just be able to create some URL Rewriter rules in the Host Settings.  Under Advanced Settings,  Expand the Friendly URL section.  Add rules like MATCH: ".*/promo1" REPLACE WITH: "~/Default.aspx?tabid=155"

Hope it helps,

You're also going to need to make sure that the path points to an .aspx page so that ASP.NET will be able to get ahold of it to do the redirect.  Just create a promo1 folder, and copy the Default.aspx into it.

One more piece, I had the regular expression wrong in the first part.  It'll actually resolve to the Default.aspx when it's checking, so you'll want something like ".*/promo1/Default.aspx"

I was able to test with that and get it to work.
