How to create a permanent vanity URL in DotNetNuke?

Question

I don't know about a solution for implementing custom vanity urls (my term is not sure what they really are called) in DotNetNuke. Does anyone know of a solution? This could be kernel tuning, using a third-party module, or a suggestion on how to write it from scratch.

That's what I think:

• I want to tell people: http://mywebsite.com/awesome
• I want the base URL to be http://mywebsite.com/genericpage.aspx?key=awesome&etc=etc
• I do not want the URL redirected. I want the user to see http://mywebsite.com/awesome .

Essentially, I assumed that the administrator would be able to create these vanity URLs and indicate what the vanity URL is and what its main URL is.

Answer 1

The closest thing, out of the box, is to define your friendly URLs in SiteUrls.config , found in the root of DotNetNuke.

In this way:

• you point people: http://mywebsite.com/awesome.aspx
• do you have a base url http://mywebsite.com/Default.aspx?tabid=ID&etc=etc
• users see: http://mywebsite.com/awesome.aspx

The main limitation is that you will have the .aspx extension.

SiteUrl.config :

<RewriterRule>
    <LookFor>.*/awesome.aspx</LookFor>
    <SendTo>~/default.aspx?tabid=ID&amp;etc=etc</SendTo>
</RewriterRule>

Rewriter URL- LookFor URL- SendTo. escape- XML '&' querystring.
