Hi, I'm new to DNN, but have done a lot of SEO stuff in PHP-based CMS systems. I'm looking for a "manual" way to set SEF URLS. I don't want to use tabs, or page titles, because the URL needs to be very specific to the keyword optimisation. For example - we might use web-copy-web-copywriting-sydney.htm as our URL whereas the the page title would be Copywriting for the web. On "the other side" (using modX for example) we use Apache mod_rewrite, so we can just have a field for the URL in the page settings and type in whatever we want eg. "web-copy-web-copywriting-sydney". Does this DNN add-on allow this? If not, would it be difficult to implement? Thanks in anticipation... Richard

This DNN add-on does not allow you to manually assign URLs, they are created via the TabPath. It would not be difficult to write an add-on to do this though. It would need to be a valid .net extension (e.g. .aspx, etc) or would require a change to IIS to handle other extensions. You can create regex rules now on the host settings page, but this will only you to decipher the request and send it to the correct page.
