A notice to people following this thread - I have posted my latest build of the Friendly Url provider.

Here's a list of all the things that this version can do:

• Url's are generated as friendly Urls by all code which uses the standard NavigateUrl() call in DotNetNuke.
• Choice of page extension - .aspx or any other extension (such as .page)
• Choice of using page extensions - options are "always", "never", "pageOnly". Always and never are self-explanatory, pageonly means only use an extension when the Url is for a page that contains no query parameters.
• 301 redirects for 'unfriendly' page requests. This can be on or off.
• 301 redirects to home page for deleted and expired pages
• A regex filter can be implemented to restrict 301 redirects for matching Urls
• Individual pages can be restricted from 301 redirects by placing in a delimited list
• Choice of two ways of handling parameters/query strings - ordered, in which the values are shown as consecutive levels in a path (key1/value1/key2/value2) and "firstparmlast" in which the first key value is placed last (value1/key2/value2/key2).
• Choice of detecting duplicate portal alias/page path combinations. It is possible to have portal1/test as a page, and a portal which has portal1/test as an alias, thus duplicating the same path on a single DNN install.

More information and the download files are on my blog at :

To see it working, have a look at http://www.auctionlink.com.au/TagList/Tag/Valuers/

(I haven't installed it on ifinity.com.au because it runs on shared hosting)

Please note that it is still under development, and further work will be done to include Scott's changes with mine to hopefully produce a stronger better faster version.  However, if anyone wants to try this one out let me know how they get on.

Bruce, is this because it does not work in a shared hosting environment? Thanks, eoghano

Hi Scott,
I'm sure this is the question that everyone wants answered. How much if any of the changes by Bruce were incorporated into DNN 4.7
Thanks.
