Hi marbab,

The Url Master can replace the Url for the Page name of DotNetNuke pages, but it can't yet replace the Url parameters for modules that use them.

So, you can't do what you'd like to do at the moment - which is replace the query string of EntryId/1/default.aspx with /username/.  You could, however, define separate child blogs for each user (the way they do it in dotnetnuke.com) and then define a separate page for each user.   So if you created a page called /username/ and put the blog module on it, set to only display the child-blog for that user, you'd get the same effect.  Of course this assumes the users contributing to the blog are (1) only a couple of people and (2) not changing much.

I'm working on a solution for dynamic parameter replacement in the next release, so that you can dynamically replace the parameter section with a custom-defined value, as you have suggested.  But it's quite a difficult task to get to work with the wide variety of modules out there, so it's a while away yet.

Having said all that, the module will clean up your blog Url to www.abc.com/Blogs/EntryId/1.aspx (or even /EntryId/1/ like on this site, if you want to change your IIS mappings).

Hope this helps?

It's implemented; but has no interface.  An actual user interface to enter and configure the rules will be coming; for the moment it has to be done manually with configuration files.  I do this for customers on request if their requirements fit what the parameter replacement can do.

Thats great news. I am not in hurry at the moment so i can wait a UI version :)

How long might it take, any rough estimates ?
