Greetings,

I just installed URL Master 01.15.01 on my DotNetNuke 05.01.04 portal and am getting a strange 301 redirect for any old XMOD pages I had... Example:

This is the actual URL:

http://www.frotime.net/tutorials/solid_modeling/getting_your_bearings.aspx

I want this old URL to go to the above:

http://www.frotime.net/tabid/93/xmmid/454/xmid/6/xmview/2/Default.aspx

I add "tabid/93/xmmid/454/xmid/6/xmview/2/Default" to the URL box and it redirects to the following page:

http://www.frotime.net/company/press/bae_systems_frotime/xmmid/454/xmid/6/xmview/2.aspx

In fact all of the redirects that I add "tabid/93/xmmid/454/xmid/XXXXXXX/xmview/2/Default" where "XXXXXXX" is a uniqueID redirect to

http://www.frotime.net/company/press/bae_systems_frotime/xmmid/454/xmid/6/xmview/2.aspx

Strange... Any ideas?

Thanks,

Brad

The problem is that you have a tabid 93 in your site (the company/press/bae_systems page), and that's why it is matching on that page and then interpreting the results you see.

The redirects should take preference over the tabids, though.  What do you get if you enter the xmod url into the 'test url rewriting' box?

When I enter:

http://www.frotime.net/tabid/93/xmmid/454/xmid/6/xmview/2/Default.aspx

into the test rewrite, here are the results:

Page Found: BAE Systems FroTime

Rewrite Path: /Default.aspx?TabId=93&xmmid=454&xmid=6&xmview=2

Redirection Result: 301 - Permanent Redirect
Location: http://www.frotime.net/company/press/bae_systems_frotime/xmmid/454/xmid/6/xmview/2.aspx
Reason: Unfriendly Url

I can confirm that there is a problem here.  I've set up a similar redirect on my test system, and if I request a url such as /tabid/92/default it will redirect to the chosen page (and not go through to tabid 92).  However, if I setup the redirect as tabid/92/xmmid/454/xmid/6/xmview/2/default.aspx, it instead redirects back to the tabid 92 page.  I think this exactly replicates the problem that you are seeing on your site, and it seems that the inclusion of the extra parameters somehow causes the module to choose the wrong url to redirect to.

I will look at this problem and publish a fix when I can.  I'll notify you via this thread when I have done so.

-Bruce

Thanks Bruce - This is preventing me from going live as I have about 150 of these pages being indexed by Google that I need to have the redirects in place prior to launch.

I appreciate the troubleshooting and help.
