    any way to rewrite the url for a page ?

    Hi , guys,

    umbraco saves my page name "sitemap.xml" name as "sitemapxml" thus the url will be http://www.mydomain.com/sitemapxml. http://www.mydomain.com/sitemapxml is pulling some dynamic data from CMS.

    How can I change it to http://www.mydomain.com/sitemap.xml ?

    Thanks,

    A

    Hi Adrian

    Use rewrite rule for this case:

    <rule name="SiteMap" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url="sitemap.xml" />
    <action type="Rewrite" url="sitemap" appendQueryString="false" />       
</rule>

    Yes right.

    But I need to install this https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite first then the rewrite rule will be working in localhost while Azure is working without installing it.

    Thanks,

    A valid sitemap doesn't need to have an .xml extension - what it does need, though, is to return the content as a valid XML document with the correct content-type (i.e. text/xml)

    yes, right. I also showed these two links to my client saying that .xml is irrelevant. https://codeshare.co.uk/xmlsitemap https://codeshare.co.uk/robots.txt

    But they still insist needing that .xml lol.

    Thanks anyway.

    This is how i do it:

        <rewrite>
    <rules>
      <!--Rewrite for XMLSitemap -->
      <rule name="Sitemap.xml rewrite" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="^sitemap.xml$" />
        <action type="Rewrite" url="/sitemap-xml/" appendQueryString="false" />
      </rule>
    </rules>
  </rewrite>
