    Going to a page via a mastepage

    Hello,

     

    How do I turn off the functionality to allow a user to isit a page by typing in the url of the masterpage

    For example I have a template called UserDetails.  A user can go to this page by tying in http://www.mysite.com/UserDetails. ; But I don't want them to... How do I turn this off?

    Thanks

    James

    You could use the url rewriting engine to redirect/rewrite to the real page rather than turn off the alttemplate support?

     

    either rewerite rule for ^.*/UserDetails ... 

     

    <addname="UserDetails" 
    virtualUrl="~(.*)?/UserDetails" 
    rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" 
    destinationUrl="~$1?" 
    ignoreCase="true"/>

    or

    depending on how this actually works behind the scenes you could rewirte for any page request that ends up as page?altTemplate=XXX

    not checked if  http://www.mysite.com/UserDetails acually routes to  http://www.mysite.com/?altTemplate=UserDetails

    If you want to turn off the alternate URL feature altogether, I think you can do it by going into the 404handlers.config file in the site "/config" folder and commenting out the entry 

    <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForTemplate"/>

    You may need to touch the web.config for the setting to take effect.
