Hello,

I am creating a custom module and would like to generate Friendly URLs in one module that links to a module on another page. I think that the FriendlyURL method is what I need, but I can't really figure out how to use it to get it to do what I want. Here is my function to generate the link:

Public Function GetModulePageURL(ByVal strModuleFriendlyName As String, ByVal strNodePath As String)


            'GetModulePageURL = NavigateURL(TabId, "", "ID=" + strNodePath)


            'User the following to navigate to the desired page that has your module control on it.
            Dim mC As New ModuleController
            Dim mi As DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ModuleInfo

            mi = mC.GetModuleByDefinition(PortalSettings.PortalId, strModuleFriendlyName)
            If Not mi Is Nothing Then
                Dim tabTabInfo As New TabController
                Dim ti As DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabInfo
                ti = tabTabInfo.GetTab(mi.TabID, PortalSettings.PortalId, True)

                GetModulePageURL = NavigateURL(mi.TabID, "", strNodePath)

                GetModulePageURL = FriendlyUrl(ti, GetModulePageURL + "?" + strNodePath)

.......etc

This line: GetModulePageURL = NavigateURL(mi.TabID, "", strNodePath) produces: 

"http://dnn_dev/MyGarage/tabid/486/Default.aspx?ID=44/102/56/51"

The next line: GetModulePageURL = FriendlyUrl(ti, GetModulePageURL + "?" + strNodePath) produces:

"http://dnn_dev/MyGarage.aspx"

Which is close to what I want...but I thought I'd get: "http://dnn_dev/MyGarage.aspx?ID=44/102/56/51"
I guess I really don't understand what the path parameter in the FriendlyURL method is supposed to do. I see examples such as:
Example 2:


This will result in the following url:

http://localhost/Tab_Page_Title/tabid/1/Parameter1/xyz/My_Custom_Page_Name.aspx

But I don't understand why you need to put in the ~/Default.aspx.... part. Why would you want to change MyGarage.aspx to Default.aspx which is obviously not a keyword? I guess I'm just really confused as to what the Path param is supposed to do.

To be clear...this is what I'm looking for: "http://dnn_dev/MyGarage.aspx?ID=44/102/56/51"
How can I achieve this?

Second question:
And what is the custom page name about? I tried id and it generates that name, but that URL won't point to anything and will give a 404 error...I guess you need a custom parsing to convert it back first?

Thanks in Advance!

Thanks Sergey. That definitely helped.

In the spirit of "teaching a man to fish" :) can you tell me what the Path parameter is for and an example of when you'd use it?
