Hi Garðar,

I'd try using a UrlRewriting rule like this:

<urlrewritingnet xmlns="http://www.urlrewriting.net/schemas/config/2006/07">
    <rewrites>
        <add name="category-listing"
             virtualUrl="~/(.*)/?queryString=(.*)"
             destinationUrl="~/$1/$2"
             rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
             ignoreCase="true" />
    </rewrites>
</urlrewritingnet>

Hope this helps?

Cheers,

Thank you Lee for the quick response.

I did try your rewrite but does not seem to work.

When I try http://Site.com/X/?queryString=123 nothing is rewritten, if I try http://Site.com/X/123 the page is not found.

Do you have any other ideas ? :)

Does "http://Site.com/X/?queryString=123" work as intended? As in the page functions as you want it? (just checking)

Not sure why the UrlRewriting didn't work though. Maybe look at using IIS's/.NET's built-in rewriting module?
I don't have an example to hand, but more info here: http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/using-the-url-rewrite-module

Yes the path with the querystring is working as intended.

When I try to hardcode the path it works like : 

<add name="rewrite"

virtualUrl="^~/A/B/(.*)"

rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"

destinationUrl="~/A/B/?queryString=$1"

ignoreCase="true" />

This works too but it will ofcourse conflict with to many pages :)

 <add name="rewrite"

virtualUrl="^~/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)"

rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"

destinationUrl="~/$1/$2/?queryString=$3"

ignoreCase="true" />

Does this info help ?

Ah, yes - I misunderstood, I thought you wanted to rewrite from the querystring to the URL without it.

You could try something like this?

<add name="rewrite"
     virtualUrl="~/(.*)/([\d]*)"
     destinationUrl="~/$1/?queryString=$2"
     rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
     redirectMode="Permanent"
     ignoreCase="true" />

Wow thanks Lee ! 

This rewrite did the job, but one thing that it seems to conflict with is my custom MVC section inside Umbraco.

Can I make this rule only work inside the page and not affect anything in the Umbraco ?

I'm not using this specific querystring inside the MVC routing if that helps.

Hmmm... maybe by adding "/umbraco" into the RegEx for the match?

virtualUrl="~/(.*|!^umbraco)/([\d]*)"

... but I'm no RegEx master, so it probably needs tweaking :-)

Ahh I found out that this is not really conflicting with Umbraco, the section is inside App_Plugins folder and there it conflicts.

So I would need to exclude the rule from this path, your last edit did not seem to get the job done so I'm reading upon regex at the moment :)

Thank you really mutch for this help ! saved me alot of time !

If you do find out how to exclude a path it would be appreciated :) 

Any thoughts on the matter ? :)

Only thought is to hack around with the RegEx to exclude the folder/path that conflicts.

Here is the solutions I'm using at the moment.

I use Url rewrite module in the IIS

This will change :

/archive/article/2013/11/18/Alias  to /archive/article?id=Alias

 <rewrite>

 <rules>

 <rule name="uArticles" stopProcessing="true">

 <match url="^(?!(app_plugins|umbraco))(.*)/[0-9]+/[0-9]+/[0-9]+/([_0-9a-z-]+)$" />

 <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:2}/?Id={R:3}" />

 </rule>

 </rules>

 </rewrite>

Well, you can use Long Path Tool for such problems, I will say.

is working on a reply...
