Is there a way to create virtual URLs in DNN? We are migrating to a DNN site but have a few URLs that cannot change.

For example, we have publications in our organization that have URLs like domain.com/something. When I add the page in DNN the URL becomes domain.com/Something/TabID/67/Default.aspx. Is there a way to tell DNN that any requests for domain.com/something should be redirected to the new URL?

Thanks!

You might want to take a look at the "human friendly URL" feature in DotNetNuke.

There are also some third-party products that rewrite DotNetNuke URLs.

Hi Joe and thanks for your reply,

I did look at the human friendly URL feature but, unless I missed something with its configuration, it requires a "default.aspx" at the end of the url. The problem is that the URLs promoted in the literature do not have the default.aspx on the end. They simply end with a slash, such as "www.domain.com/something/".

I need a solution that will eliminate the "default.aspx". Are there any thrid party solutions off the top of your head that might do this? I wanted to make sure DNN didn't have the capability before I started looking into 3rd party software.

Thanks!

I did find a solution: In the root of the site, I created the needed folder and then configured the folder to redirect to the DNN address in the properties dialog in the IIS manager on the server. It's not the ideal solution but it seems to work.

Can anyone thing of any cons to this method?

Thanks,
