Hi Wiki team,

Just wanted to let you know that we've released a Friendly Url Provider with specific module extensions capabilities.

Here's the anouncement's thread.

The default providers includes a Wiki provider.

Still the result is quite good, as you can see on our french guide.

What do you think?

The inner urls still need to be regenerated, but in the mean time, it currently illustrates the 301 redirect capabilities to override the old dnn rewrites.

Note that there was not much to do really since the wiki modules already deals with including the topic name in the url so it's just a matter of passing the Http parameter after escaping, and the provider core engine really does the job. It could have been done with a syntax rule alone, yet the provider probably makes it clearer.

Here's the rule used on our wiki page:

[${Scheme}][${RootPath}][/${Language}][/${TabPath}][/${TabName}][/${ModuleTitle}][/${WikiTopic}][/${ControlKey}][/${Params,SubPath}][.${Extension}][?${QueryString,QueryStringValue}]

Here's the code for the wiki provider:

Public Class DnnWikiUrlRewriter
        Implements IUrlRewriterProvider

        Public Function GetModuleRewrites() As System.Collections.Generic.List(Of GroupParamsRewrite) Implements IUrlRewriterProvider.GetRewrites
            Dim toReturn As New List(Of GroupParamsRewrite)
            toReturn.Add(New GroupParamsRewrite("WikiTopic", RewriteType.SubPath, UrlParam.FromSyntax("topic")))
            Return toReturn
        End Function

        Public Function RewriteParams(ByVal groupName As String, ByVal objRewriteType As RewriteType, ByVal params As System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of UrlParam, String)) As GroupRewriteResult Implements IUrlRewriterProvider.RewriteParams
            Dim toReturn As New GroupRewriteResult()

            If params.Count > 0 Then
                Select Case groupName.ToLowerInvariant
                    Case "wikitopic"
                        toReturn.RewriteValue = StringEscaper.EscapeString(params(UrlParam.FromSyntax("topic")))
                        toReturn.ConsumedParameters(UrlParam.FromSyntax("topic")) = True
                End Select
            End If
            Return toReturn
        End Function

    End Class
