Is there a way to make the URLs a little friendly.
What I am looking to do is make a page and access it by typing in http://mysite.com/About/ and the site loads the correct page of http://mysite.com/about.tabid/88/view/Default.aspx. Just as when you load the http://mysite.com/ it loads http://mysite.com/home/tabid/88/Default.aspx.

If I can do this I have a second question, is there a way to hide the whole ~/tabid/88/Default.apx?

For starters, check the box to use "Friendly URLs" on the Host Settings page in the advanced section.

I found the friendly url. I got it to work when I type /blog.aspx and it goes to the correct site. Now if I can figure it out for just typing http://mysite.com/blog without the aspx. thats where I am currently hung up at.

Take a look at the Snapsis Pageblaster module.  That may do what you want.  There is also a URL rewrite from Ifinity.com.au that might be of use, too.

If you use one of these, please let us know how it worked out for you.

I tried checking the "friendly urls" checkbox to make the user urls more friendly obviously, but now I can't login. Is there anything i can do?


It also doesnt let me go to any other page on that I made!! This is not good I Really need help with this.

That should not have broken things.  Can you navigate to http://yoursite.com/login.aspx and login?

If you have access to the database, you can look in (I think) the Portals table and "uncheck" that setting to restore to what you had.

I cant navigate there. it just goes back to the home page.

but i did get to the database like you said. I'm in the portals table. Which table would you "uncheck" to take off the friendly urls option?

Hopefully you have access to your database.

If not, perhaps the techniques used in this solution will work: http://blogs.snapsis.com/PermaLink,...1906.aspx.

You will want to change the Friendly URL Settings to false, so you will need to change one line in the file, the one that defines the string that contains the SQL to:

        string sql = "Update {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}HostSettings Set SettingValue=F Where SettingName="UseFriendlyUrls";

I think that is all that is needed.

You will need to FTP or otherwise move the file into the installation's root directory.  Don't forget to remove it when you are done, as it leaves a bit of a security hole when it is there.
