    alt template URL rewriting

    I need to use Alt Templates (for a reason not worth going into the details).

    However rather than using ugly query string parameters it would be good to do some URL rewriting on it.

    So that eg :

    http://myusite.com/section/list/page?alttemplate=moredetails

    became

    http://myusite.com/section/list/page/moredetails

    However for the Content Editor I'd want to be able to create this document anywhere in the content tree rather than in a specific location.

    I'm trying to think of a simple way to do this, but I can't.

    Any ideas out there please!? Thanks in advance.

    Hi John,

    The alttemplate syntax allows you to do that already (i.e., append the alias as another path step instead of a QueryString parameter)

    However I'm not sure how 2nd requirements impacts this... could you add an example or two of differently located documents and how you'd like their URLs to be?

    that works perfectly - thank you!

    presumably if you have a sub document (which I won't) that's is ok so long as the node name is not the same as the alttemplate
