Hello

I need to remove the "monox" string from all the urls. Ex:

"http://localhost/MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Groups.aspx" I would like to transform it to
"http://localhost/SomeNewName/Pages/SocialNetworking/Groups.aspx"

How can I do this?

Regards

denis

That particular URL is not rewritten, and points to the actual path in the file system. You could add your own rule in the UrlRewritter section of the web.config file. Following your example, it could look like this

<rewrite url="^(.*)/SomeNewName/Pages/Groups.aspx$" to="$1/MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Groups.aspx" name="MyGroups" urlPattern="/SomeNewName/Pages/Groups.aspx"/>

Hello Denis

Thanks for the response. It works fine.
I have one more problem now.
If I use the links from the generated menu I get links like:
"http://localhost/MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Groups.aspx"
how can I chnage them to:
"http://localhost/SomeNewName/Pages/SocialNetworking/Groups.aspx"

Regards

Rewritten URLs cannot be picked up automatically by the navigation menu. The easiest way to accomplish this would be to go to the Page admin section of the admin backend, remove the existing navigation link from the left pane (right click on it and choose delete, it will remove only the menu item, and not the actual page), and than enter a new item - right click on the left pane, choose "New external page", enter the name and the URL (/SomeNewName/Pages/SocialNetworking/Groups.aspx).
