I made a site in umbraco many years ago (4.0.4.1 version) and I have a content node under /members/kickboxer which generates urlhttp://.../ikckboxer.aspx and then i have a different doc type for news stories. I have made a news story news/kickboxer which also generates the same url as the first example and show the content of the member and not the news story.
How can i create a url prefix so that /members/kickboxer.aspx is different than /news/kickboxer.aspx, any info gratefully received :)
Also, get message when log in to upgrade to version 6, is this a relatively painless process or not?
If you place your top-level nodes under a Homepage node, this should happen automatically. So like this:
Content Home News Kickboxer Members Kickboxer
You'll automatically get /news/kickboer.aspx and /members/kickboxer.aspx as Umbraco ignores the top-level nodes from the URL path. You might also be able to disable it by changing the `umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath` setting in your web.config file.
RE: Upgrading - You're on a pretty old Umbraco version, so my biggest concern would be compatibility with any packages you are using. Do you have a lot? To upgrade I'd recommend going to 4.5, then 4.7.2 or 4.8.1, then to the latest 4.11.x
