I don't know if this is possible, but I would like to use friendly URLs to hide the page name and any parameters. I don't need SEO and would like to only show the domain name. Can I do this with friendly URLs? If so, how would I go about it? I can see where to configure them in the host settings, but I don't know what to set them to.

So, you want the whole site to work like it is in a frameset (they don't change the string on the address bar when opening frames within the master frame set).  I do not believe that is possible unless everything was a post and then you would have to have one heck of a provider to handle all the requests etc.

Hi Bill

This type of domain setup (one domain for the site) isn't really done much anymore.  It was more popular in the frame-based website days, and perhaps with things like internet banking platforms.  You really want a unique Url for each page in your site, even if you're not interested in search optimising your site.  Having a unique url allow people to bookmark pages, send links to other people.  It's the way the internet was designed : each resource should have a separate Url.   It also allows things like your 'back' button to work in browsers - it's very easy to frustrate your users if they can't use the back button.

If you wanted to perservere with a single url for the whole website, you could either setup some sort of frame-based solution, or you could reconfigure your site to use postbacks for each page, and pass in the necessary information with each postback (at a minimum, you're going to need tabid).  However, you would end up hacking the DNN platform to bits, because it is built around an assumption that each page will have a separate Url.

regards

Bruce
