    folder inside umbraco

    We have been using umbraco for our website for a few months now.  Today, the marketing team requested for this functionality.  They have created a new content page ns3.aspx inside the root website (www.somewebsite.com)  but would like to send out the url of the page as

    http://www.somewebsite.com/ns3

    I have tried to use the umbraco URL Alias or umbraco Redirect properties with no luck.  What is the recommended way of achieving this?

    Thanks,

    Pratik

    Hi

    I think that should be done using the UrlRewriting.config file, which is to be found in the "config" folder.

    I think you should be able to achieve your goal by following this guide: http://www.christophertl.net/1513.aspx

    Yes, you can use UrlRewriting for this simple task and you can use the 301 URL Tracker package. (but I'd recommend UrlRewriting because it's such a simple task)

    I am assuming you not using extensionless urls which explains why umbracoUrlAlias is not working. The umbracoUrlAlias (auto alias?) uses the same extension settings your entire site uses.  So if your urlAlias for ns3.aspx was ns3, that would translate to simply ns3.aspx.  

    You might want to think about turning off the use of extensions in your site altogether in the web.config file under umbracoUseDirectoryUrls.  This helps with marketing your urls outside of a web based environment like print material, tv or radio advertisements.  People then don't have to remember .aspx.
