Just curious: What are you solving using umbracoUrlAlias? Are you using it to change the "natural" (based on the structure in Umbraco) URLs generated by NiceUrl() ?
Do you use canonical links to make sure there's no risk of duplicates being indexed? If so, wouldn't they be enough to make sure the NiceUrl() version doesn't get indexed?
Only thing I can think of (besides editing InsertLink.aspx) would be something like using this method to change the URLs to use umbracoUrlAlias instead (which may be a little hard-core :-)
I am using umbracoUrlAlias as I wanted to create SEO friendly URL's, and they were slightly different to the niceurl generated ones.
I am using canonical links but, would rather fix the problem than rely on the canonical link.
I have had a look at the article you refer to for transforming the text with XSLT, and this may work, I will give it a go, but it still feels a litte botched!
Is it possible to use the umbracoUrlAlias in TinyMce Links instead of the Niceurl?
I have created a website and I am setting the umbracoUrlAlias on all my pages for SEO. These are displaying perfectly throughout the navigation.
I also am allowing my client to add in links to internal pages using TinyMce Richtext editor, but this uses the niceurl and not the umbracourlalias.
I looked at changing some of the code in InsertLink.aspx to accommodate this, but I am new to umbraco and I am not sure where to start?
Thanks
