Hi,

Has anyone able to implement friendly URL in Dnn4.8 ??

Friendly URL was worlking in my site ok for DNN4.5.5 but after Upgrade to DNN4.8.0  - it not longer works !

Scott - do I need to download Friendly URL and repeat the install process again? If not then where do I look for to enable Friendly URL ?

BTW in case someone need to know - I am very happy with the DNN4.8.0 upgrade - it performs much better than DNN4.5.5

Cheers

Glen

Scott,

 I added this  urlFormat="HumanFriendly" to the webconfig but still not work ,

{
           
               
                                  name="DNNFriendlyUrl"
                  type="DotNetNuke.Services.Url.FriendlyUrl.DNNFriendlyUrlProvider, DotNetNuke.HttpModules"
                            includePageName="true"
                            regexMatch="[^a-zA-Z0-9 _-]" urlFormat="HumanFriendly" />   

  }

did I miss anything else ?

You need to turn that on in the host settings

Hi Mariette

The Friendly Url was always enabled ! ... but I found out the problems was due to BOTH

  Browser Language Detection  and  Language Parameter in URLs For Current Portal were also enabled and that why Friendly URL did not work  :))    - btw these are some thing new in DNN 4.8.0

Thanks for the tip anyhow

I'm using DNN 4.8.0 and installed Friendly URL.  It's working just fine for me.

I had to alter the installation a bit - as noted below:

1. there was no DLL called "/bin/DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewrite.dll".  I added the "Ventrian.FriendlyUrl.dll" to the /bin directory.
    
2. Keys were modified in the web.config, and I commented out the old keys.  However, there was an extra key I had to modify, as follows:
    
   {!--{add name="DNNFriendlyUrl" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Url.FriendlyUrl.DNNFriendlyUrlProvider, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" includePageName="true" regexMatch="[^a-zA-Z0-9 _-]" /}--}
   {add name="DNNFriendlyUrl" type="Ventrian.FriendlyUrl.DNNFriendlyUrlProvider, Ventrian.FriendlyUrl" includePageName="true" regexMatch="[^a-zA-Z0-9 _-]" urlFormat="HumanFriendly" /}
    
   and ...
    
   {!--{add name="UrlRewrite" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewriteModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" /}--}
   {add name="UrlRewrite" type="Ventrian.FriendlyUrl.UrlRewriteModule, Ventrian.FriendlyUrl"/}
    
   as well as ...
    
   {!--{add name="UrlRewrite" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewriteModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" preCondition="managedHandler" /}--}
   {add name="UrlRewrite" type="Ventrian.FriendlyUrl.UrlRewriteModule, Ventrian.FriendlyUrl" preCondition="managedHandler" /}

Hope that helps.

Sorry about the formatting of the above web.config values - I attampted to copy them into the response but the FCK Editor stripped the angle brackets.

On a different note, these are excellent modules, skin objects, skins, and providers.  I use them all for my site.  Thank you for all the work you have put into this - well worth the price of a Silver Membership.

Build failed with error BC30560: 'RewriterRuleCollection' is ambiguous in the namespace 'DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Config'.

I'm upgrading from 4.05.0 to 4.08.0 on clonned website. Above error popsup when I try to build my website.
I have seen on few forums where people had problems from Host settings but I get an error while building the protal.

I'm stuck with FriendlyUrl.

Heres what I did:

-back up old web.config
-unzip install pkg on dnn root folder
-rename release.config to web.config
-port all the settings from old web.config to new web.config

delete old HttpModules.UrlRewrite.dll 

Replace this entry:
<add name="UrlRewrite" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewriteModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewrite"/>
with this entry:
<add name="UrlRewrite" type="iFinity.DNN.Modules.FriendlyUrl.UrlRewriteModule, iFinity.FriendlyUrlProvider"/>

Replace the existing ''DNNFriendlyUrl'' provider section with this one :
<add name="DNNFriendlyUrl" type="iFinity.DNN.Modules.FriendlyUrl.DNNFriendlyUrlProvider, iFinity.FriendlyUrlProvider" includePageName="true" regexMatch="[^\+a-zA-Z0-9 _-]" urlFormat="HumanFriendly" redirectUnfriendly="true" doNotRewriteRegex="(\.axd)|(/DesktopModules/)" doNotRedirect="SearchResults;" doNotRedirectRegex="[.]*(/logoff.aspx)" pageExtensionUsage="always" parameterHandling="ordered" ignoreFileTypesRegex="(\.gif)|(\.png)|(\.css)|(\.js)|(\.jpg)|(\.html)|(\.htm)" checkForDupUrls="true" forceLowerCase="false" redirectWrongCase="false" replaceSpaceWith="_"/>

This did not solve the problem. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
