Hi David,

You can try using umbracoUrlAlias : https://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbraco-best-practices/umbracourlalias/

But I don't know if this is what you get back when you try to retreive the url of the item.

You can always write a UrlProvider and a content finder if you want to change the url that umbraco generates.

Here is a blog post explaining the concept : http://24days.in/umbraco/2014/urlprovider-and-contentfinder/

And here you can find the documentation : https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Routing/Request-Pipeline/outbound-pipeline https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Routing/Request-Pipeline/IContentFinder

Hi David,

Could you put your "About" page in your root instead of under a /section/?

So your tree would be:

mywebsite.com (Your root node)

• about

Instead of mywebsite.com (Your root node)

• Section
  • • about

Is the 'section' important to your tree set up? Does the "about" have to reside in the /section/?

Hi

Thanks for the responses, I think I may have found a solution.

Just for clarity my definition of a friendly URL is www.sitename.com/friendlyurl

The problem I have is we are migrating to Umbraco from another CMS and we have about 100 friendly URL's that need to work once the site is transferred over. Lots of these URL's are printed in literature so they just need to bounce the user onto the relevant page within our site.

Whilst looking for a package to do redirects I've found this. https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/simple-301/

I'm hoping I can use this to create the Friendly URL's, a little testing it seems to work fine. No idea yet if it will impact SEO but will test further.

is working on a reply...
