What specifically do you want to change about the Ventrian Urls?  Is it the removal of the tabid, or the removal of the articleType/articleView ?

I may be able to help with this - is your site live yet or are you still developing.

Bruce,

Is it possible that I can remove both? You'll notice in Mitchel's blog using News Articles that some of the url's are named after the article, while some aren't:

http://www.mitchelsellers.com/Blogs/tabid/54/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/209/Default.aspx

http://www.mitchelsellers.com/Blogs/tabid/54/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/220/DotNetNuke-484--InstallUpgrade-Instructions.aspx

Is it possible to simplify the url to look like this:

http://www.mitchelsellers.com/Blogs/DotNetNuke-484--InstallUpgrade-Instructions.aspx

 

Our site is still very early in development, but you can see what I'm talking about here:

http://prontomarketing.com/dnn/Default.aspx?alias=prontomarketing.com/dnn/sbit

 

I know it's not a huge deal but would be nice to have good looking URLs for SEO and overall better user experience.

 

Thanks!

The reason for the difference in Mitchells' blog articles are that the NA module sometimes doesn't add the title to the end.  I believe this is if the article title is too long or contains too many invalid characters.

To answer your question, what is possible is this:

http://www.mitchelsellers.com/Blogs/209/DotNetNuke-484--InstallUpgrade-Instructions.aspx

 Because the NA module uses a databaset table with a numeric ID in it, you can't get away from having that Id in the Url.  It is possible, however, to rewrite the Url like the one I have shown using the Url Master software I sell, plus another configuration add-in.  Contact me through http://www.ifinity.com.au/Talk_To_Us/ if you'd like to try it out on your site.  I would need to work with you in setting the Urls up.
