Re: Redirect Module

Here's a really good overview of the entire procedure:

Re: Redirect Module

Great explanation and links - thanks - much appreciated.

The asp101 article got me thinking that the Friendly URL Module in DNN must already do something like this. I have not yet looked at that Module but I am assuming that it takes the friendly name typed in and does a Server.Transfer to the not-so-friendly name - which is what we're looking for here... not so?

ver 4.3.1 (to 8 July 2006) ver 4.3.2 (to 20 July 2006) ver 4.3.3 (to 5 Aug 2006) ver 4.3.4 (to 20 Sep 2006) ver 4.3.5 (to 25 Dec 2006) ver 4.4.0 (to date)

Re: Redirect Module

I'm not sure, I'm not familiar with the source code for that.

Does it sound logical though?

Re: Redirect Module

I'm not sure it uses Server.Transfer, there are other methods too such as Context.RewritePath. More signifcantly though for your purposes, I don't think it does what you're looking to do. It sounds like you're trying to get it to convert incoming URLs. The friendly URLs are "outgoing" --- they convert the plain old default.aspx with a tab id into a URL which displays search engine-friendly keywords. It sounds like you want to convert incoming traffic. You could use SiteUrls.config or a redirect module for that.
