My testing so far on localhost:
1. Install went fine, uneventfully.
2. My ampersanded pages (e.g. foo & bar page name) worked fine to redirect to new/different page names.
3. It should be clearer in the page URLs section that the new/desired page "name" gets the 200 redirect. When I worked with page URLs it looked like two page definitions would get 200 responses, and the other responses were all grayed out. Nevertheless, this worked properly for me.
4. Are all the new page URL settings stored in the database somewhere??
5. It kind of works with Ventrian's News Articles module, producing long links like this:
http://dnntesting/news/articletype/articleview/articleid/1/this-is-the-first-article-for-testing.aspx
It would be nice to have a 'rule' that takes out the news/articletype/articleview/articleid/1 part where 'news' corresponds to the page name and the numeral corresponds to the article number in the database.
Any suggestions on what/how to write as a 'rule'?? Would this be a regex?? If so, what?? I am not very knowledgeable about regexes other than that it seems to me that the rule should be 'If this string is in the URL, don't show it".
The part with the dashes is appropriate because that's the name of the article. News Article does its own magic for auto-generating page titles.
The sooner this gets to final release, the happier I am, I need this sooner than yesterday!! :) :)
Thank you, Tom
