I've been looking for many alternative CMS options to run my site, and I keep on coming back to DNN. I've even mingled with Community Server, and as amazing and clean as it is, I just don't find that their is enough "community" support for it when it comes to modules, add-on's, etc. DotNetNuke however, has tons.

A good requirement for my site is good, search engine friendly, and human readable, permalinks. For those involved, or for those with knowledge on the subject, will DNN ever be able to achieve human readable permalink status? What I'm referring to is pretty much a brief url with none of the plethora of ID's/Multieple Parameters, etc., that hinder the title.

Love to hear your views.


Cheers,
Danny

Danny,

You may want to check out the document DotNetNuke Friendly URLs.pdf (it's in DotNetNuke_4.3.1_Docs package that you can download from the DNN site). Friendly URL feature of DNN may have the solution to your issue.

Danny - there has been alot of work going on in the friendly url area- and the latest versions of DNN provide opportunity to customise how they are rendered.

Scott McCulloch of Ventrian is in charge of this area..

However, for the last 2 years or perhaps more, I've been using the Inventua HRef Exchanger.  In fact, when I deliver portal solutions for clients, it's one of those automatic features we put in place from day one.  It renders the full url of the page.

http://www.skincovered.com/goodies.aspx

http://www.skinsforsale.com/xflex/home.aspx

but you can, if you have acces to server and IIS, add your own extensions.

 But these can take up performance, every so slightly, but have an interesting look to them. I don't normally recommend this any more to be honest.

The catch is you can't have two names the same or it flips back to the tabID.

You can also configure spaces to be rendered, by modifying the web.config file - for example - I set skincovered to have - for spaces.. so ascx skinning is rendered - http://www.skincovered.com/ascx-skinning.aspx this way.

I can't see much better way to have friendly urls.. and the good news is that it's been around for some time and available from http://www.inventua.com

Does that solve your problem?
