DNN 5.6 friendly urls

Question

I am using DNN 5.6.3 and needing to redirect just one url to a page

the url is http://domain.com/schmooze and it should redirect to http://domain.com/schmooze.aspx

I have in the friendly urls part in the HOST find:./schmooze. replace with:~/Default.aspx?TabId=258

But I get a 404 (not found) error - Is my friendly url wrong? am I missing something else - seems this should work in the url rewriter

Answer 1

Try this.

Open SiteUrls.config in the DNN root directory and put this in:

<RewriterRule>
  <LookFor>(.*)/schmooze</LookFor>
  <SendTo>~/schmooze.aspx</SendTo>
</RewriterRule>

You will need to make sure all IIS requests are mapped to the asp.net process. To do this, set this inside of your web.config.

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">

If you want to start to do this through the UI of DotNetNuke. I use UrlMaster from iFinity:
