We’re proud to announce a new milestone for URL Adapter, our URL builder and URL rewriting engine for DotNetNuke.

Besides a few bug fixes, this version comes with awesome features such as: 

• ability to use DisplayName for user URL 
• disabled custom URLs (will permanently redirect to primary URL) and deleted URLs (will send 410 http message) 
• option to physically delete custom URLs, completely replaced DNN URL rewriter 
• ability to enforce terms, privacy, login, register and logoff pages so there’s only one friendly version of it called for example “/terms” and not “/home?ctl=terms” 

• ability to define Custom URLs that redirect to absolute URLs (for example, to other sites)

We’ve implemented advanced rewrite and redirection rules that look at all requests. For advanced rules, just specify which part of the URL to match (domain, relative url, query string, etc).

We think you’ll be also excited about the export/import advanced rule through CSV, the logging of HTTP errors (such as 404 not found or 500 internal server error) and the SafeWord option to disable URL rewritting and redirections for 5 minutes.

Sounds Exaggerating? 

Don’t take our word for it. Just download the trial and see for yourself. 

As usual, we’re constantly refining this project and adding new features all the time. So, check it out and let us know what you’d like to see included in a future release of  URL Adapter.
