DotnetNuke redirect

Question

our client needs to shortcuts to particular pages We need to redirect non existent urls like

http://site.com/promotion1

to the actual URL similar to

http://site.com/promotions/promotion1/tabid/799/language/en-AU/Default.aspx

...

I've sent a list of appropriate DNN modules to our client but it may take them forever to get back to me. In the mean time they still submitting requests to us to create redirects for them.

if there's no cost involved then i wont have to wait for them to get back to me.

so I'm looking for a Quick and free way to enable the clients to set these up on this own.

I've looked at:

• MAS.ActionRedirect

• Ventrian Friendly URL Provider

• DotNetNuke URL Rewriting HTTP Module

But haven't had much luck in the small amount of time i have available.

Has anyone got some suggestions on how to achieve our goal with either the above resources or maybe some additional resource i haven't found yet?

Answer 1

You should be able to use the built-in friendly URL functionality within DNN, or use a URL rewriter module within IIS.

You can read my answer about using the DNN Friendly URL functionality for more details, or look into the IIS URL Rewrite module.
