    Understanding somethign I found on an inherited site

    I have an umbraco site that I have inherited. The original developer has long since gone.

    I am trying to udnerstand / improve te site slowly. recently I came across a table that appeares to contain a uri and an id. the uri, when pasted into the address bar barfs, complaining about xpath, which is why I am hoping this is the best place for this question.

    /foo/customer_data/2010/companyName/yes/(companyNodeId)/14241

    It actually turns out that the data I am looking for is stored as htm fragments identified by the file index, so the URi has no impact at all. So my question is;

    1) Is this an umbraco style uri.
    and if it is;
    2) where will I find the xslt that is used to parse it (or likely places to look as I appreciate it might not be standard)
    3) How can I see if this is a failed attempt at importing the data from files to the database, or if the code is actually doing somethign behind the scenes?

    This looks like an export from the database, Maybe something like node: foo, type:customer_data and then the data for that node... 2010/companyName/yes/(companyNodeId)/14241 , I don't think umbraco can do anything with it because you will need the name/alias for that data (if it is correct what I think it is...)

    Hope it helps, Jan-Willem

    Ok, thanks.

    It looks like it is a hang over from another cms system (a PHP based one). It was all imported to umbraco for some reason no one can quite remember.

    At least I know thats somethign I can play about with and alter then.

    Thanks
