    Template alias as URL

    Hello Umbraco Colleagues,

    What configuration is necessary so that the template alias assigned to a node becomes that node's url?

    Too easy!

    Assuming you have a page at url: www.example.com/mypage.aspx

    Assuming you have a template with an alias of 'rss'...

    Either of these will work: www.example.com/mypage.aspx?altTemplate=rss or www.example.com/mypage/rss.aspx

    No configuration necessary.

    cheers,
    doug.

    Thank you, doug -

    However... (using your example), I am also able to access the page at this url: www.example.com/rss.aspx

    I don't know why that would be.

    David

    Well, depending on what your rss template does you might get the same output no matter the url? In your example, you're basically appying the rss template to the homepage (the "/" url).

    Make sense?

    cheers,

    Thanks Dirk.

    I have a template called Sitemap which is generated using in-built xslt code. The node name is called Site-map. When i click the "site map" link in my website it shows the site map information one of my clients typed http://www.mydomain.ac.uk/sitemap (which is the alias of the sitemap template), the home page got replaced by the sitemap information. Any ideas how I can change so that when sitemap is typed it shows 404 error instead of site-map tempalte information.

     

    Thanks
