I have this structure on my site:

and I'm trying to remove Convenience and Pharmacy from the url structure.

I've created a custom URL provider:

public class CustomUrlProvider : DefaultUrlProvider

{ public override string GetUrl(UmbracoContext umbracoContext, int id, Uri current, UrlProviderMode mode) { var home = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current).TypedContentAtRoot().First(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("HomePage")); var categories = home.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("CategoryPage"));

  foreach (var category in categories)
  {
      if (base.GetUrl(umbracoContext, id, current, mode).Contains(category.Url))
      {
          return base.GetUrl(umbracoContext, id, current, mode).Replace(category.Url, "/");
      }
      return base.GetUrl(umbracoContext, id, current, mode);
  }
  return base.GetUrl(umbracoContext, id, current, mode);

} }

and a custom ContentFinder:

public class CustomContentFinder : IContentFinder

{ public bool TryFindContent(PublishedContentRequest contentRequest) { if (contentRequest != null) { // copy ContentFinderByNiceUrl but add your prefix back where it's missing const string PREFIX = "/convenience";

        string route;
        if (contentRequest.HasDomain)
          route = contentRequest.Domain.RootNodeId + PREFIX + DomainHelper.PathRelativeToDomain(contentRequest.DomainUri, contentRequest.Uri.GetAbsolutePathDecoded());
          else
            route = PREFIX  + contentRequest.Uri.GetAbsolutePathDecoded();

        contentRequest.PublishedContent = contentRequest.RoutingContext.UmbracoContext.ContentCache.GetByRoute(route);
    }

    return contentRequest.PublishedContent != null;
}

}

The problem is, the URLprovider gets itself in a constant loop when comparing the category.Url with the current node Url, and the ContentFinder is using magic strings instead of looking up the CategoryPage.

Is there a better way of doing it, should I be looking at a Custom Segment provider instead?
