Hi Joe,

I've been working with mojoPortal from its previous versions since 2.1.3.0 and i've been analysing the changes on it and also had built few custom modules to exercise the richness of the MojoPortal. I always thank you wholeheartedly for creating such an "Awesome CMS" that's damn flexible to be customized.

Here today i wanted to bring in notice about the issue that's being prevailing on its version 2.3.6.5, that is, the previous build version. Please check out the Web Deploy release or its source of this version. The user will not be able to have an automated URL redirection after having enabled with a ExtensionLess URL feature. I tested the same version many times on various servers(IIS 7.5) and found this issue. I wanted you to look at this isue and check whether this has been fixed or should it needs to be fixed in its future release that is after ver.2.3.7.0.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for replying. The situation would be,

1. After setting up the mojoPortal (v2.3.6.5 or v2.3.7.0) the user isn't allowed to create a extensionless url that should automatically get redirected to the right extension. i.e., say you create a new page with the name "~/newpage" and have canonical url as "~/newpage.aspx" [having canonical url with .aspx, in case if the site needs to b revoked to "Mandatory Extension" in mere future, if required], the redirect should automatically be setup fro "~/newpage.aspx" to "~/newpage" or itself right?[having the right things setup on web.config as per the documentation in http://www.mojoportal.com/extensionless-urls.aspx ] Here, the situation is it isn't creating a redirect url or mapping itself on the "301 Redirect Manager", resulting in failure of opening the page when any user tries to open it with ".aspx" extension.

2. This feature was working fine until version 2.3.6.0. This is what im trying bring in this scenario and make it work again.

Hope this is clear right? Joe? can you please let me know why this had happened and is that an obsolete feature that comes bundled up with mojoPortal or ignored by mistake while building the portal or is that a bug?

Hi Joe,
Yeah! That was a great info. thanks a ton. "Joe deserves a Beer". But what if my website's visitor tries to open "~/newpage.aspx", At that time, i feel my site should throw a 404 page and instead shouldn't redirect to the right page. so in that case it matters a lot right? So as per my knowledge there's no other feature on mojoPortal that can do this. Am i right? So, how do I handle that situation?

Plz. take a look at one of my website that i had built using mojoPortal v.2.3.6.5 -- GBinterior.com

Hi Joe,
Whoa! This was the answer i was expecting for. Thanks Joe. By the Way, why do you want to make it fall-back to a 404 page? My question on this thread was, "When i create a extension less url, it should automatically map an entry to ".aspx" as it did in its previous versions but not now. Why so?" have you removed this feature? I dont want to make it result in a 404 page rather it should automatically create a redirect to the extensionless url. This was my scenario. :-)

Hi Joe,

Let me explain you more specifically.

Environment 1: Having Mojoportal ver.2.3.6.0 installed.

1. Having Extensionless URLs enabled on web.config and followed the documentation as given on your website.
2. Have set "Default Friendly Url Pattern = page-name"
3. Now, when i create a sample page other than the default home page that comes pre-installed, with the name say, "~/new-page" as suggested by the url suggester, when i hit save, it saves perfectly and and also when i test simply by requesting "/new-page.aspx" on the web browser, it automatically redirects to the "http://localhost/new-page".

But......

Environment 2: Having Mojoportal ver.2.3.6.5 or ver.2.3.7.0 installed.

1.     Having Extensionless URLs enabled on web.config and followed the documentation as given on your website.
2.     Have set "Default Friendly Url Pattern = page-name"
3.     Now, when i create a sample page other than the default home page that comes pre-installed, with the name say, "~/new-page" as suggested by the url suggester, when i hit save, it saves perfectly and and also when i test simply by requesting "/new-page.aspx" on the web browser, it automatically shows up a "404 page" rather than redirecting itself to the "http://localhost/new-page". And I need to enable it manually on "301 Redirect Manager", then it works correctly, as seen on the Live website GBinterior.com.
   
   Thank You :-)
