Real Friendly Url Demo

smcculloch posted on January 10, 2006 09:33

Over the christmas break, I got to finally work on friendly URLs a bit more. I've developed a system that uses the tabpath by default, but could be extended use a seperate table table to store multiple identities for a page.

I've just published it up to my test site, there a few things that I have to organise first, but do you think its looking good? (Check out the urls as you navigate around).

Very cool Scott. Any idea what release of DNN this will be with?

Excellent Scott. How's it handle page names being the same (e.g. Say there a page called Humans under both the Races and Classes)?

AWESOME! Have been waiting for this.

I noticed that it does not allow 'friendly' parameters so you could have http://friendly.ventrian.com/Races/Dwarves.aspx but not http://friendly.ventrian.com/Races/Dwarves.aspx?AlbumID=367-1
or
http://friendly.ventrian.com/AlbumID/367-1/Dwarves.aspx

I am guessing this might be too hard to do?

As is, this is great because you can have the friendly URLs for the main tab links which is what you would put as a webpage link or put on a business card. And then the internal links it does not matter as much if they use the standard DNN default.aspx or dwarves.aspx.
