    How to alter the URL without changing site structure?

    uBlogsy - Razor Blog

    I've thought to use swfaddress, urlredirection, or urlalias, but I seem to get only more confused.

    Currently my site will access a blogpost using the url:  http://www.mydomain.com/blog/blog/2011/thePost.aspx

    (my node structure is below)

    -- Home 

      -- uBlogsy - Landing (nodename = blog)

        -- uBlogsy - Folder : Blog (nodename = blog)

    -- uBlogsy - Folder : Year  (nodename = 2011)

     

            -- uBlogsy - Post  (nodename = thePost)

    How can I (without restructuring the site) access a blogpost with this url instead (without duplicate '/blog/blog/' )

    http://www.mydomain.com/blog/2011/thePost.aspx   ?  

    Thanks in advance for your ideas and thoughts,
    Adam

    For me your structure is correct, I am using Ublogsy in the exact same way/structure in an existing site.  Can i ask why there is no link to the blog in the main nav?

    Hi Adam

     

    2 options

    1. I would rename the 2nd blog to posts.

    2. Move your year folders to the landing node - ie. Don't use the uBlogsyFolderBlog node.

    Thanks for your replies.

    Stephen: There is a link to the blog in the footer, and the 2 latest posts are prominently featured on the home page. It's the how the design 'ended up'.

    Anthony: option 1 seems enticingly simply. I like it.

    I'll try to post the url again:    www.mydomain.com /landing /blog /year  /month /thePost.aspx

    I'd like to be able to have no   '/landing' in the url i.e.   www.mydomain.com /blog /year  /month /thePost.aspx    It is easier to read and more intuitive for the 'non-tech' user.

    Is this possible without changing the node structure?

    Anthony, that was the solution I needed. Cheers!

    I moved the Year folders to the landing node and took out the uBlogsyFolderBlog node.
