I managed to add the code and website dsiplays corrrectly. The problem is I am still able to type in: http://www.domain.com/default.aspx and the page appears. Is there any way to fix this?

I’ve tested it code and it works fine.

1. If you have no DNN FriendlyUrl enable, you need to change line 77 instead of 81.

2. Please do not copy directly from the comment as WordPress editor automatically covert the double quote ” ” and the &. (Don’t use curly quote)

This doesn’t seem to be working for me.
I get a a runtime error:
Server Error in ‘/’ Application.

Any ideas how to get this to work with DNN v5.1.4 – I have the following code:
If PortalSettings.HomeTabId -1 Then
‘ use portal home page specified
hypLogo.NavigateUrl = NavigateURL(PortalSettings.HomeTabId)
Else
‘ use site root
If Host.UseFriendlyUrls Then
hypLogo.NavigateUrl = GetPortalDomainName(PortalSettings.PortalAlias.HTTPAlias, Request) & “/”
Else
hypLogo.NavigateUrl = “~/”
End If
End If

Thanks

It should be like this:

If Host.UseFriendlyUrls Then
hypLogo.NavigateUrl = GetPortalDomainName(PortalSettings.PortalAlias.HTTPAlias, Request) & “/”
Else
hypLogo.NavigateUrl = “~/”
End If

Sorry this doesn’t seem to be working for me. I don’t understand the exact code I am supposed to replace.
Should this code:

‘ use site root
If Host.UseFriendlyUrls Then
hypLogo.NavigateUrl = FriendlyUrl(Nothing, “~/”, PortalSettings)
Else
hypLogo.NavigateUrl = “~/”
End If

Be replaced with this:
‘ use site root
If Host.UseFriendlyUrls Then
GetPortalDomainName(PortalSettings.PortalAlias.HTTPAlias, Request) & “/”
Else
hypLogo.NavigateUrl = “~/”
End If

Thanks

If you do not have server access, the simplest way is to use ifinity Url Friendly Url Provider (Free), their URL Master is even easier to fix all bad links. If you needed a more advance solution, Snapsis PageBlaster is a good option too. It is possible because DotNetNuke is a framework, you could download the source code from Ventrian Url Provider if you wish to know the theory behind.

Yes, thank you for pointing this out.

With this enhancement, it will not generate the extra ‘default.aspx’ at the end.

However, “FriendlyUrl(Nothing, “~/”, PortalSettings)” are not working so well with other friendly url modules currently.
Hope this will be fixed in future.

If you’re using ifinity module to rewrite the url, you may still change the = FriendlyUrl(Nothing, “~/”, PortalSettings) to GetPortalDomainName(PortalSettings.PortalAlias.HTTPAlias, Request) & “/”
to temporary fix the problem.

Unfortunately the file in DNN 5.1.0 looks like this:

If Host.UseFriendlyUrls Then
hypLogo.NavigateUrl = FriendlyUrl(Nothing, “~/”, PortalSettings)
Else
hypLogo.NavigateUrl = “~/”
End If
