A client wants his website in umbraco, but there is one challenge. The website contains many categories that I would like to bring in a folder/node "categories", in order to keep the tree clear and simple. But the "folder" should not be in the url visible. For example:
now: mywebsite.com/categories/cat1/subcat1/
Should be: mywebsite.com/cat1/subcat1/
Because it is a excisting website with a good result at the searchengines I don't want to change the url. I have searched at 'our', but could not find a good solution for this. Maybe there is someone who has the same challenge and solved it.
