Replace Portions of the URL? (ie; rename "tabid" to "anotherword")  

Hello,

Is it possible to globally replace a common part of the URL like "tabid"? I am wondering if there is some way that this could be done with the urlrewriter? I would like to avoid specifying each url, and would rather just swap out the tabid with another word if it is possible.

Thanks,
Jim

Re: Replace Portions of the URL? (ie; rename "tabid" to "anotherword")  

DNN can hide the "tabid" from URL by using HumanFriendlyUrl provider.

For example if you have this kind of url :

http://www.mydomain.com/tabid/174/default.aspx

 

then you can change it to :

http://www.mydomain.com/home.aspx

home.aspx is never exist on the server since it is  just a virtual page based on your tab name. So if you have a tab name (page) Contact then the url is :

http://www.mydomain.com/contact.aspx

Here DNN remove the tabid information using HumanFriendlyUrl technique. Just opened your web.config and locate this tag :

<friendlyUrl defaultProvider="DNNFriendlyUrl">
  <providers>
    <clear />
    <add name="DNNFriendlyUrl" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Url.FriendlyUrl.DNNFriendlyUrlProvider, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" includePageName="true" regexMatch="[^a-zA-Z0-9 _-]" />
  </providers>
</friendlyUrl>

Change it to :

<friendlyUrl defaultProvider="DNNFriendlyUrl">
  <providers>
    <clear />
    <add name="DNNFriendlyUrl" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Url.FriendlyUrl.DNNFriendlyUrlProvider, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" includePageName="true" regexMatch="[^a-zA-Z0-9 _-]" urlformat="HumanFriendly" />
  </providers>
</friendlyUrl>

Save it and refresh your DNN application. Then you will see no tabid is in your urls. Is that what you mean ?

HTH.

Re: Replace Portions of the URL? (ie; rename "tabid" to "anotherword")  

Hi Agung,

i was trying your code as you mentioned about - Hide "tabid" from URL.

and write following code in webconfig file

<friendlyUrl defaultProvider="DNNFriendlyUrl">
  <providers>
    <clear />
    <add name="DNNFriendlyUrl" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Url.FriendlyUrl.DNNFriendlyUrlProvider, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" includePageName="true" regexMatch="[^a-zA-Z0-9 _-]" urlformat="HumanFriendly" />
  </providers>
</friendlyUrl>

But i got following error,

 


Configuration Error

Line 8: <section name="scheduling" requirePermission="false" type="DotNetNuke.Framework.Providers.ProviderConfigurationHandler, DotNetNuke" />

Source File: D:\DotNetNuke_Test\web.config    Line: 6


i just added { urlformat="HumanFriendly" } attribute in the webconifg nothing else.

Could you please tell me what's going wrong!

Bye,

Sahil

Re: Replace Portions of the URL? (ie; rename "tabid" to "anotherword")  

This is awesome.

This can also help in a security aspect.   DNN is easily distinguished (i think) by the URL and Favicon.  If another security issue ever came around, a bugger could easily determine which sites are DNN.    Granted, an end user could still find some indicator, but it wouldn't be quite as obvious as the URL.
