    Redirect with changing url

    Hi,

    I have a structure like this

    website

    home

    therefore the website node has the url / and the home node has the url /home

    However I want it so that when people goto

    http://mydomain.com/

    it will show the homepage. However I don't want to redirect them - I know I can add this in the urlrewrite.config so that when people go to http://mydomain.com/ the browser redirects to http://mydomain.com/home - but how can I get it so that the url stays the same i,e http://mydomain.com/ but the home node is displayed?

    Thanks

    Hi James,

    Jeroen Breuer does something similar in his Hybrid framework using a IUrlProvider.

    https://github.com/jbreuer/Hybrid-Framework-for-Umbraco-v7-Best-Practises/blob/master/Umbraco.Extensions/UrlProvider/HomeUrlProvider.cs

    After you have that in place you will need to register it at startup : https://github.com/jbreuer/Hybrid-Framework-for-Umbraco-v7-Best-Practises/blob/master/Umbraco.Extensions/Events/UmbracoEvents.cs

    You can use the core function "umbracoInternalRedirectId" with a contentpicker?

    Add the umbracoInternalRedirectId property alias to your document type with a content picker and Umbraco will load the selected page’s content transparently; no url redirection

    nor sure how this'll work for your navigation & other pages though!

    You could try playing with the Culture and Hostnames. I did a quick test, and it seemed like it did what you are looking for. I tested it on a site like this:

    Home
    Test Category Page
        Test Child Page
    Some Landing Page

    I right clicked on the Test Category Page and added a domain like http://mytestsite.com/ as a domain.

    When I did that, this is what pages the nodes in my tree linked to:

    Node in tree          Url                   Node Displayed
----------------------------------------------------------
Home                   /                    Test Category Page
Test Category Page     /                    Test Category Page
Test Child Page        /test-child-page     Test Child Page
Some Landing Page      /some-landing-page   404
