    Single Node with Mutiple URLs

    Hi Guys,

    I am building a catalogue of products. Each product will have 3 areas: Overview, Details and Pricing. I would like to be able to fill all this information on a single node, with each area in a different tab.

    How can I do this and have a different url for each area? Like below:

    /products/prod1/overview.aspx
    /products/prod1/details.aspx
    /products/prod1/pricing.aspx

    The reason for this is to make it much easer on the user to create a single product, without having to create 3 nodes below it.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Tomas,

    You could look at adding a url rewrite rule to into the /config/UrlRewriting.config file for your three alternatives, having them point back to /products/prod1.aspx, this would probably be simplier than adding alternative Urls for each node

    HTH,

    You could use alternate templates. Create one template for area and then modify the url in the xslt or create a new method in the library which generates the alternate template for you.

    public static string AlternateTemplateUrl(int nodeId, string template)
    {            
        return library.NiceUrl(nodeId).Replace(".aspx", "/" + template);      
    }

    You might want to skip the overview and just use the normale template for it.

    Hth,
    Harald

    Harald,

    Thank you for your reply. I think you are on the right path with this. I am, however, quite new to umbraco. Can you explain where I can extend the library? It may be easier for me to modify the XSLT, can you give me an example?

    Regards,

    Tomas

    Harald,

    After a bit of googling, I understand what you are explaining now.

    Any {node}/{templateAlias}.aspx works out of the box and selects the template based on that template alias. Excellent. I love Umbraco.

    Regards,

    Tomas

    Yep nice tip :) no messing with config files, and sperate templates for each - ideal.

    Thanks

    For completeness, here is part of the XSLT I used to achieve the multiple pages per node.

    <ul>
    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node [@level=2]/node [@nodeTypeAlias = $documentTypeAlias and string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
       <li>
            <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
               <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
          </a>
        <ul>
          <li>
            <a href="{umbraco.library:Replace(umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id), '.aspx', '/details.aspx')}">
              Details
            </a>
          </li>
          <li>
            <a href="{umbraco.library:Replace(umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id), '.aspx', '/enquiry.aspx')}">
              Enquire</a>
          </li>
        </ul>
     </li>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>
