Hi

I'm being thick I'm sure.

I'd like to have the ability to forward a friendly name URL to a page on the DNN site, and I don't know whether this is possible using friendly URL's?

Let's say I have a subscription page here:
http://www.mywebsite/Subscribe/tabid/74/Default.aspx

But I would like to quote this URL to people (below), this will forward to the URL above:
http://www.mywebsite/subscribe

Could anybody tell me, what would be the "match" and "replace with" values, if indeed this is possible?

Many thanks in advance

Alex

First off, you will have to use a path that includes a filename with an extension that will tell the webserver to handoff the request to ASP.Net, so that in turn the FriendlyUrl handler in DNN will be able to get the request.  So you'll need something like

http://www.mysite.com/Subscribe.aspx

If that is the FriendlyUrl, then your SearchFor parameter should be   .*/Subscribe.aspx

And your ReplaceWith parameter would be   ~/Default.aspx?tabid=74

Thanks John....!

So I guess http://www.mysite.com/subscribe isn't possible here?
I presume I would need a "page forwarder" mechinism or something to do this?

Reason being a few of my sites are for paper based newsletters, and they like to quote friendly, nice looking URL's.

On Static sites I achieved this by having a page with a folder http://www.mysite.com/subscribe/default.aspx which of course will be resolved by http://www.mysite.com/subscribe.

Perhaps I should log this as a suggestion in Gemini?

Cheers

Alex

Alex,

if you need www.mysite.com/subscribe, just create the folder subscribe and place a default.aspx inside redirecting to parent default.aspx with appropriate parameter. Done.

Ha! makes sense - thanks....

I wonder if this has any implications for the site stats being logged via DNN?

Nevertheless I'll give it a go.

Cheers and thanks

Alex
