Extentionless URLs and folder based websites as menu

I would like to add following features to my web site : www.makeareminder.com

1. having extentionless URLs for selected pages. I have changed below key to true in web.config and also changed PAGE-NAME settings in Administrator --> Site Settings but not taking any effect.

<add key="AllowChangingFriendlyUrlPattern" value="true" />

I should maintain extentionless URLs only for few pages like menus as like www.mojoportal.com menus.

2. having folder based websites in menu of main website.

Kindly suggest.

Those settings will not change the urls for existing pages, it would only change it so newly created pages have no extension. However you can manually change the url to no extension on an existing page.

Re: Extentionless URLs and folder based websites as menu

Correct joe, even i too observed the same however for both newly created pages as well as existing renamed pages, i am getting "HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.  Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly." error.

301 redirect is successfully creates link still this error exists.

And for my 2.nd point: I would like to have folder based website's name as one of the link in main website's menu. Is this possible?

Re: Extentionless URLs and folder based websites as menu

What version of IIS? It won't work in IIS 6, and in IIS 7.x it requires an Integrated app pool not Classic and may require having this in Web.config:

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">

not

<modules>

To link to external pages create a page in your main site and put a fully qualified url to the folder site page ie starting with http that will make it appear in the menu.
