Hi Martin,

It does not change existing urls. It only changes how new urls will be suggested.

Hi Martin,

You wrote "It's very important to me not to show what system I (and my customers) use."

May I ask if you are referring to the .NET framework or mojoPortal?

In either case, I haven't found that there is much value in the use of extensionless URLs for the purpose of securing one's website. It is quite easy for any "hacker" (or 10 year old) to determine a website's framework without looking at the url extensions.

Thanks,
Joe D.

The pages in the main menu are CMS pages and they use url re-writing to make friendly urls like /home.aspx or just /home if using extensionless urls. These friendly urls are all re-written to /Default.aspx?pageid=x (which is the real page that serves the request) but the user only sees the friendly url in the browser.

However since Default.aspx is the real page that serves content for all theses friendly urls you cannot change it.

For other physical .aspx files you "might" be able to create friendly urls that map to them in the Administration > Advanced Tools > Url Manager.

For example you could try making a friendly url ~/sitemap that uses the real url /SiteMap.aspx

However the built in links are not going to know about those friendly urls so they are still going to render the real url. So it would be impractical because you would have to create your own links that use the friendly urls you define. to replace the links for sitemap and other things to try and hide the .aspx extensions.

So, the bottom line is, if you have a customer that insists no urls can use the .aspx extension then mojoPortal is probably not the solution for that customer.

If you were hand crafting html pages instead of using a CMS they would have a .html extension, so it is not much different to have a .aspx extension.

Maybe at some point in the future I will try to use ASP.NET routing to alllow extensionless urls on these physical pages, but, there are still people using IIS 6 which cannot use extensionless urls without third party isapi modules. IIS 7 is still relatively new, and the possibility for extensionless urls only became possible easily in IIS 7.

For now, you can only use extensionless urls for CMS pages easily.

Best,

Joe

Hi Mario,

If you are working with the latest source code, we do have some plumbing implemented for routing that allows you to define routes via configuration files. It is not yet used in mojoPortal but is work for some future things. If you look at the code in Web/Components/Routing and at the config file under /Setup/Routes you can get the idea and try it yourself and see if it can work for your needs.

Best,

Joe

To use routing you would have to do custom development and configure a route to a custom page.

CMS pages (ie the pages in the site menu) in mojoPortal do not use routing they use url re-writing. In fact nothing currently built into mojoPortal uses routing, we have the routing sub system only for use in custom development and possibly some future use in mojoPortal features.
