There's a commented-out rule in the default /config/UrlRewriting.config file that details almost exacly what you want to do:
The sample below rewrites a url from "/product/someproductid.aspx" to "/product.aspx?productid=someproductid" The user will not see the rewritten path! The page that will be loaded from umbraco will instead be:"/product.aspx?productid=someproductid" <add name="produktidrewrite" virtualUrl="^~/product/(.*).aspx" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" destinationUrl="~/product.aspx?productid=$1" ignoreCase="true" />
The URL would under normal surcomstanses be /product.aspx?id=someproductid
I would like it to "do the same thing" but the url representet to the user is /product/someproductid
@Kaster: use the above solution.. it will work for what you want.
In your site when directing the user..use something like /product/1234.aspx and urlrewriting will take care of direct the server to /product.aspx?productid=1234
Users will always see /product/1234.aspx
You will be able to access querystrings in your code as Request.QueryString["id"]
Your confusion is not uncommon... urlrewriting does not rewrite to the client, but rewrites to the server.
Make querystring look like url path
Hi,
This may a crazy question, but here it is... How can I make the query string appears as a part of the url path?
Let me show... I would like this:
look like this:
or:
...without any redirects or anything like that.
I have found this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4630720/converting-wordpress-url-path-into-query-string that also describes it. But here I need to work with Umbraco/C#.
Any ideas?
Hi Kasper,
Why not use url rewriting rules ?

HTH,

It's a nice feature, but I would like something that does the opposite...
From /product.aspx?id=someproductid to /product/someproductid.aspx
Hi Kasper,
I'm not sure I understand your requirements, which URL do you want visible in the address bar ?
Cheers,
Hendy

Can anyone validate me on this?
