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
