    How to configure url rewrite when umbracoUseDirectoryUrls is set to true

    Hello everybody,

    I've searched everywhere but I can't figure it out... The explanation on this wiki link

    http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/packaging/package-actions/community-made-package-actions/add-an-url-rewrite-rule

    works if pages are using the .aspx extension, but if you have set umbracoUseDirectoryUrls to true this doesn't work anymore.

    I would be grateful if somebody could give some step by step explanation or point me to some already written resource.

    The urlrewrite documentation http://www.urlrewriting.net/160/en/documentation.html suggests to add the defaultPage setting in the config. I tried various combinations of the following, changing/removing the defaultPage and tampering with the destinationUrl:

    <urlrewritingnet defaultPage="default.aspx" xmlns="http://www.urlrewriting.net/schemas/config/2006/07">
     <rewrites>
      <add name="archivePagingRewrite"
       virtualUrl="^~/archive/page/(.*)"
       rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
       destinationUrl="~/archive/default.aspx?page=$1"
       ignoreCase="true" />


     </rewrites>
    </urlrewritingnet>

    Adding the defaultPage="default.aspx" breaks everything. All urls will come up with a /default.aspx appended. Not adding it, will have no effect on the urls I want to rewrite.

    The goal is to rewrite a url like http://mysite.com/foo/bar/archive?page=3 to http://mysite.com/foo/bar/archive/page/3

    I found this old forum post http://forum.umbraco.org/yaf_postst5203_Recreate-a-more-natural-URL-structure.aspx in which imayat12 describes he did exactly what I need to do, but not how!

    Is begging allowed in this Forum? :)

    Thanks

    Andrea

    Solved... it was easier than I thought, the UrlRewrite document is a little bit misleading...

    Anyway, no "defaultPage" page setting is needed in the config. The example in my original post has been solved like the following

    <urlrewritingnet xmlns="http://www.urlrewriting.net/schemas/config/2006/07">
         <rewrites>
          <add name="archivePagingRewrite"
           virtualUrl="^~/foo/bar/archive/page/(.*)"
           rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
           destinationUrl="~/foo/bar/archive.aspx?page=$1"
       ignoreCase="true" />


         </rewrites>
    </urlrewritingnet>
