• You want your site to tell Search Engines automatically when to update their indexes if a page has moved or the Url has changed
• You have replaced another site with a new DotNetNuke site, or have re-organized the pages in your DotNetNuke site, and you need your Search Engine results to link to the correct pages
• You realize that you need a portal-specific way of handling and logging 404 errors
• Your DotNetNuke site page names have non-Url standard diacritic characters like ê or à in them, and you want to convert to equivalent ascii characters to avoid hexadecimal characters in the Urls
• You just want a simple, quickly installed solution to the problem without reading endless configuration options, fidgeting around with Regex expressions and editing web.config files
• You have user profile pages on your site and you want to provide better looking User Profile pages like example.com/user-name

What is the Url Master module and how does it work?

The iFinity Url Master module is designed to work the same way as the standard DotNetNuke Friendly Url Generation / Url Rewriting solution.  Because it is designed to do the same thing as the standard component, it integrates properly into your DotNetNuke site with no shortcuts, hacks or workarounds.   But because it has so many more features than the standard DotNetNuke Url solution, you can transform the way your Urls work with a few clicks.  This module has been continuously developed for years and is the result of thousands of hours of development based on extensive feedback and consultation with a diverse selection of the DotNetNuke community.

Technically, the Url Master module is both a Friendly Url Provider and a Url Rewriting solution.  It works with the DotNetNuke core and Third Party modules, and creates good-looking human and SEO friendly Urls without breaking any Core functionality.  It has extensive configuration options which mean it can be tuned to work with virtually any DotNetNuke module in virtually any application.

What's new in Url Master 2.7?

Url Master Version 2.7 is the latest update of the software since it's release in early 2008.  Version 2.7 contains these features:

• Custom Module Url Providers : improve the Urls of popular third-party and Forge modules by installing custom url providers to improve Urls.
• Performance enhancements in memory management and Url handling.   The page index is stored per-portal, so first-time requests in multiple-portal installations react faster.
• Multi-Language Urls - you can now specify a separate domain name to be exclusively linked to a specific language.  This prevents duplicate content, ranks pages better for languages and removes the /language/xx-YY from the Urls
• Skin per portal alias : set the skin for a specific portal alias.  Use this feature combined with multi-language Urls to show a specific skin per language
• Portal Alias (domain name) and Skin per device type : Show a different skin and domain name for mobile devices or ordinary browsers. 
• Integrated 404 Page Not Found error handling - specify a per-portal 404 page built in DotNetNuke, log all 404 errors and output correct 404 status codes at the same time.  This is the complete 404 solution for DotNetNuke portals and it's all done with a few clicks.
• New domain name control - it's now even easier to handle basic domain-related tasks like redirecting example.com to www.example.com
• Per-Portal settings - now you can have different settings for each portal in the site.  Previous versions grouped many functions like the page extension at the installation level, meaning that all portals had to have the same page extensions, space replacements and more.  Version 2.0 introduces per-portal settings, allowing a base set of configurations inherited to all portals, but allowing per-portal differences where required.
• New User Interface - a clean and modern interface with a focus on grouping common tasks together replaces the prior all-in-one interface.  New AJAX page scrolling lists allow the module to work with sites which contain a lot of portals and pages. 
• Vanity Urls for User Profile pages - change the Urls for the User Profile page to use the username or display name as the Url.

Version 2.7 is available as a paid upgrade over 1.x versions of Url Master.  See more information about upgrading from Url Master 1.x to 2.x.
