Hello,

I read the previous posts about rewriting URLs of a discussion board in MonoX to create SEO-Friendly URLs, then I wrote my own rewrite tags in web.config, everything works fine. For instance, 

<rewrite url="^(.*)/mynewboard/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(\?(.+))?$" to="$1/MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Discussion.aspx?boardId=$2&$4=$5&$7" name="DiscussionPaged" defaultPage="/MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Discussion.aspx" urlPattern="/mynewboard/{BoardId}/{Slug}/" />
 <rewrite url="^(.*)/mynewboard/(.*)/(.*)/(\?(.+))?$" to="$1/MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Discussion.aspx?boardId=$2&$5" name="Discussion" defaultPage="/MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Discussion.aspx" urlPattern="/mynewboard/{BoardId}/{Slug}/" />

However, I have a problem when I am on a discussion board page. The "Back to All Discussion Boards" link is still linked to page: "http://www.mydomain.com/MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Discussion.aspx?=", not be the rewritten url.

I tried to write my own rewrite tag for Discussion.aspx like this: 
<rewrite url="^(.*)/mydiscussion$" to="$1/MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Discussion.aspx" name="MyDiscussion" defaultPage="/MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Discussion.aspx" urlPattern="/mydiscussion" />
When I browse to "http://www.mydomain.com/mydiscussion", it works fine by displaying the Discussion.aspx but the "Back to All Discussion Boards" link is still linked to "http://www.mydomain.com/MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Discussion.aspx?=".

Hello,

The Back to all discussion boards link takes into account current request to generate a link back. You could create a custom control and OnPreRender set a different link.

How could I do that? Please suggest me more.

However, I just solved this on my own. I changed the link of the Back to All Discussion Boards by adding client script in Discussion.aspx like the following Javascript code:
<script type="text/javascript">
       document.getElementById("client_id").href="/my_new_discussion_rewrite_page";
</script>

Hello,

That is one way to resolve your problem. The solution I proposed would require you to create a new discussion topic web part(s) which inherit MonoX's discussion topic web part(s). In your inherited discussion topic web part(s) you could set the lnkBack NavigateUrl property. Finally just change the Register declarations to point towards your custom web part(s).

Regards,
Mario

Would it require to have the full MonoX source code to create a web part?
I can't compile to create a new web part from the free version of MonoX.

No. You'd just need to create a custom discussion page and inherit MonoX's discussion page as well and change relevant Register declarations. The following applies if you followed this tutorial on how to create a custom MonoX based project: http://www.mono-software.com/blog/post/Mono/95/Building-a-custom-ASP-NET-project-based-on-MonoX/
